Wood Advent Farm

Stunning place to stay, loved the high ceilings and beams. Very clean 👍👍 and well equipped. Peaceful with a very pretty village with pub and shop nearby. Would definitely go back there. The beds were comfy. And those views 😍 Good selection of activities in the games room. Jacuzzi lovely and warm pool a bit cooler 🤣.Definitely recommended.

It has taken a while to write this review because we are now organizing next year for our Group and it came to our attention that our comments to our hosts of The Granary about our visit clearly didn't warrant a reply sadly. We felt the Granary to which to all intents and purposes does accommodate a large party really well inside, with comfortable rooms and a well equiped kitchen. However it is let down by the outside. The facilities including the hot tub, swimming pool and seating areas were very tired and frankly somewhat neglected. This was probably not helped by the drought re keeping planted tubs watered but even so after reading previous reviews felt it should be mentioned. I noticed another negative review about the heating system for the hot water which comes from a biomass straw burner at the back of the property which was constantly smoking away during our 3 night break. As the property is nestled in a dip there was nowhere for the smoke to go and we couldn't leave our windows open at all for the smell of smoke. It was a shame we didn't have the experience so many appear to have had in 2021 but couldn't leave this unsaid. Hopefully some clearing and tidying up of the outside area will be done before next season. We felt that with a bit of TLC this could be such an amazing venue, unfortunately the photos don't reflect the reality. I don't like to review in the negative typically but our group did feel somewhat disappointed after our stay at Wood Advent Farm.

We spent a long weekend at Wood Advent, Arrived and was welcomed with a cup of tea and some cake on the patio after being shown to our room. Beautiful farmhouse and well kept grounds coupled with a lovely bit of September sunshine made for a lovely start to the break. Diana had already booked us a table at a local hostelry so no need to hunt around for somewhere to have a meal. The farm is down a single track lane that rises through the woods from Roadwater which poses no problems if driven carefully and with consideration that you may well meet other cars or walkers. Breakfast is superb with excellent service, lots of options depending on your needs. The cooked breakfast is just the start to the day I wanted. The dining room was well spaced out allowing free movement without getting close to others. The bedroom was well equipped and clean and particularly good to find all windows open, the bathroom was clean and well prepared and good to see, in the present climate, no toiletries. Although we did not use them, there are two comfortable lounges where you can relax and read one of the many books that are available both in the lounges and around the property. On returning from our days excursions we were again welcomed by Diana with tea and cake ( Diana's apple and sultana cake is heavenly ! ) A totally relaxing weekend and superbly looked after by the hosts, many thanks for everything, we will be back
