At first sight the multi-award wining Bosinver Farm looks like an idyllic model village with pretty detached cottages scattered amongst 30-acres of meadows and woodland. A closer look finds it’s far more. There are facilities including: an indoor pool, tennis courts, a fully stocked games room, an internet lounge, an indoor playbarn and a toddler-friendly playground; yet enough space to ensure privacy and independence, if desired.
Owners Pat and David Smith know that it’s the simple pleasures of adventures in the woods and fields that can make the best memories for little ones. They’ve even created a wild animal trail complete with statues of the real thing and prizes for finding the lot! It’s almost as much fun making friends of both the two and four-legged variety at the daily animal feeding and egg-collecting rounds with Farmer Dave!
Accommodation Overview - Farmhouse

Just sitting around the huge refectory table, with supper bubbling on the Aga and an open bottle of wine shuts out the rest of the world.

We could hardly believe that this magical place was ours for a week; a thatched farmhouse with a stable door and chickens clucking in and out. The owners were really welcoming and very generous with their time, suggestions for outings and a duck egg to sample! The facilities around the site are really thoughtful and suited our crew of grandchildren prefectly. We loved the way they were hidden round corners, down roly-poly hills and among the trees so everything felt like a discovery. The 5 year old enjoyed the maps and the 4 year old announced he had found new treasure every day.Review dated 31/07/2012
The most fantastic family holiday we have ever had! I cannot recommend this place highly enough - it had so much for the children to do. All the cottages are situated far enough away from each other to ensure privacy and we rarely bumped into anyone. We stayed in the Farmhouse and I didn't want to leave! I loved the furnishings and the small touches like beautiful bedding. We will definitely return!Review dated 15/04/2011
