Great place to relax with family and friends

Posted 2 Oct. 2024 on HomeAway
We visited the place for 2 nights. John is really a great host. All the 3 attractions part of the trip were amazing. A lot of open space and room to sleep. Rooms needs cleaning as there were dust and spiders in A shape cabins. Rest everything was amazing as mentioned in property description

Outstanding experience for a big group

Posted 8 Jul. 2024 on HomeAway
We stayed at Fawlty Farm for my husband's 50th birthday. There were around 6 couples and a few singles. We had such an incredible time - the multiple sleeping areas are really handy but the stand outs are the spa and all the cooking facilities around the open fire pit. John was absolutely lovely and the excursions out on the water and the trip in the sundowner were spectacular. Highly recommend for big groups, and would love to come next time with the kids. A very special place.

Relaxing and delightful weekend escape

Posted 24 Nov. 2022 on HomeAway
Fawlty Farm sure did impress. The range of accomodation available catered to all tastes. The level of cleanliness wasn't A1 but appropriate for the location and experience offered. The amenities catered well to a large group and the equipment available for use was extensive and impressive. The fire pit, the hot tub, the bbq, the paella pan, the large kitchen and everything else were all easy to use and well maintained. John was a kind, generous host who propelled our weekend into one to remember with his army truck rides, house boat voyages and visit to the summit with fire and nibbles. My whole group (17 women!) thoroughly enjoyed staying at Fawlty Farm and will recommend John, his sheep, alpacca and many friendly birds who drop by for some seed to everyone! Thanks for a fabulous weekend John!

A lovely hosted experience

Posted 6 Oct. 2022 on HomeAway
The hosted experience was really great, I was a bit surprised at the house itself, for the cost I wouldn't have expected the degree of decay on the property, broken windows specifically. We honestly had the best and most enchanting time and it exceeded our expectations, but we couldn't even use the living room as the couches were so gross and all the windows were broken

What a great weekend we had at Fawlty Farm. John was a great host taking us out on the boat and up to the lookout for spectacular sunset views and drinks. Lots to entertain with table tennis, pool and fusal along with canoes and SUP. We had so much fun. Thank you so much John.

We loved our stay at a Faulty Farms

Posted 21 Jul. 2022 on HomeAway
Faulty farms is set on a stunning property with just about everything on offer. You can kayak the private lake, snuggle around the fire pit walk around and enjoy the wildlife ect. There is certainly something for everyone. We enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and made use of the wood fire pizza oven, paella pan and spit. The tours were a lovely touch, especially the trip upto the ridge line, the drive up was nothing but laughs and then you are met with the most amazing views and get to enjoy some cheese and bubbly around the fire. John and Sally are gems. Everyone was impressed and enjoyed their stay. Our one disappointment was that the hot tub didn’t get hot enough to use on the Saturday night. But knowing John he will have that addressed in no time! Recommend faulty farms for the family/friend getaway. Summer would be incredible.

Fun family time

Posted 8 Jul. 2022 on HomeAway
The bonus events were thoroughly enjoyed by all. A heater in one cabin didn't work properly and shorted out the cabin but otherwise all was good. Kitchen is well appointed and all ages enjoyed the fire pit.
