Special Amenities

Beautifully landscaped garden, large lawns, children's play area. Weber barbecue. Set around established trees with lovely birdsong. Close to three amazing beaches. "We have just had a wonderful stay at Accrington and our only regret is booking only four nights. The photos don’t do it justice. This property is absolutely perfect for anyone wanting a break from the hustle and bustle of daily city life. The absolute highlight for us was the gardens- absolutely beautiful, with plenty of room, and play equipment for the kids. You are surrounded by trees and accompanying bird song. The farm house is well set out and great for families. The kitchen had everything we needed and there’s also a Weber barbecue. We would definitely stay again." - Lauren, January 2019.

Accrington Farmhouse is the most beautiful place to stay. Annable and Hamish have created the perfect retreat. The farmhouse is immaculate, the linen and bedding is gorgeous and we arrived to a roaring cozy fire in the lounge. Its the perfect place to stay with family and friends.
ADELE MEYER
We had the most amazing family, girls weekend staying at Accrington Farmhouse, we wanted for nothing! It is a lovely, spacious, comfortable & warm home with amazing facilities, just what we needed. I highly recommend for a rural getaway for a group of friends or family, plenty of room for all.
