Had a lovely stay. Cottage was very cosy and well equipped. Could do with updating but perhaps that’s part of its charm.

Peaceful and Welcoming (Lily Cottage)
As a family of two adults and three children, we stayed at Irelands Farm Cottages in Lily Cottage for a long weekend whilst attending a wedding. We loved our time in the cottage and had a relaxing few days away. The cottage is homely and welcoming and Stephanie is an incredibly friendly and accommodating host, quick to sort any issues. We stayed as a family, including three under 5s. There was provision of a high chair and travel cot but just to note the cottage isn’t kitted out for children. Our children were somewhat restless and the cottage would benefit from having just a couple of books and games added for entertainment, whether on rainy days or in the mornings/evenings. The only downside of our stay was that the mattress in the double bedroom was incredibly uncomfortable. We stayed in Lily cottage as it’s kitted out for those with mobility issues, which was fantastic for the bathroom (a difficult find with holiday cottages!) but the mattress caused the chronic pain in my back to flare up badly and my husband too complained of a bad back after a couple of nights. Apart from that little negative, we had a wonderful time and loved our stay, thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Stephanie Williams

Host profile image
I grew up on Grange Farm near Alvechurch, qualified as a physiotherapist in 1983. Moved to Irelands Farm with my family in 2000 to help my father run the self-catering cottages and practice Physiotherapy from the Farm House. In 2013 my father retired and left the business to his children. In my spare time I love to mess about on sailing yachts down in the Solent.

Why they chose this property

Irelands Farm continues to be a family run business and has seen many changes over the years with improvements to the Farm House and conversion of the farm buildings.
The cottages are set in a sheltered courtyard and enjoy the calm and tranquility of the countryside.

What makes this property unique

Lily cottage enjoys a remote and peaceful setting right in the middle of a working arable farm. Yet remains within walking distance (2.5 miles) from the pretty village of Henley in Arden and convenient for the motorway network.
