We had a fantastic time at Kingsford Farm Lodges! The cabins are super comfy and the hot tub was definitely a highlight. The owner was really friendly and helpful too. We appreciated being able to bring our own BBQ, as long as it stayed on the hard standing away from the grass and decking - that was no problem. Only small thing was the WiFi, which was a bit patchy inside, but honestly, it didnt ruin anything. Wed happily come back if were ever nearby again!
