It's not often you find a cottage offering a 5-star experience at a 3-star price. Coverwood Farm is a bucolic retreat, perfect for anyone wanting either to get away and rest, or see the outstanding beauty of the Surrey Hills.
What made this an instant hit for my two kids (11 and 13) and I was arriving after a long flight to find a fridge full of organic farm goods: eggs, butter, cheese, beef, ice cream. There were cookies and coffee. The internet behaved fast and flawlessly the entire week. The TV had no problems, the washer and dryer were great. The place is clean, airy, bright. It has fantastic views, horses, sheep, cows the kids will be delighted to see. Out the back you can walk up to Holmbury Hill, or further to Leith Hill. The location is ideal for biking, for running, for ambling in the countryside.
Guildford was 20 minute drive away, Gomshall with its wonderful pub - the Mill - 8 minutes.
To top it off...Tim, the owner, is an affable rural entrepreneur who understands that extroverts want to chat, introverts want to be left alone. A landlord who...gets it.
Of all the cottages in England I've stayed at...and there have been a few...this is the only one I'd go back to. It is awesome.
