This was a much needed break from the Rat Race that has brought us closer together as a family and I thank you for it!" Bec says "Thanks for providing all the home comforts.

Stuart and Adele from Shropshire July 2008 wrote "Such a wonderful place - peace and tranquil - make sure you take the wild flowers handbook on any walks around the farm - very addictive and an eye opener on how many different tyoes we take for granted." "Folly Farm brilliant - Tenby brilliant!" "At the end of a hectic day it was so nice to sit and wind down on the lovely raised patio - south facing - what a sun trap!"

The Knox family from Oxford – “We’ve had a wonderful weeks holiday our first family one. The barn and surrounding area are beautiful – hope Harry’s loud chattering didn’t scare off the wildlife! We’ve been lucky to have mostly sunshine this week and we’ve really enjoyed it!”

The Limricks “Lovely barn and what made it perfect were all the little touches like the children’s toys – much appreciated. We recommend Sunday lunch at The Botanic Gardens, Tenby, Amroth beach, Whitesands at St Davids. We managed not to burn down the woods with our inept BBQing – and to return one day.” Oct 2008

Gwen age 14 – “The cabin is so much fun – I’m glad I finally got the courage to go on the swing!” Joe age 12 “We adored playing on the bean bag and I also LOVED the stars!” "What a fabulous half term break – we thoroughly enjoyed several walks along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, some a little windy and wetter than others. The TARZAN rope swing in the woods is a big hit! The barn is wonderful and we hope to return soon”
