What a delightful converted Bull stall we stayed in. Set in the tiny village of Penselwood in a peaceful rural location with next to no traffic and plenty of country walks right outside the front... more |

The cottage is pretty much in the middle of the farmyard. The children absolutely loved seeing all the animals on the farm. The owners were particularly helpful and friendly. Verified by FlipKey, a TripAdvisor company |

,The owners were very, very friendly.
There are many different animals at the farm. It is very quiet and it's a really nice cosy cottage. It was possible to use the owners garden.

,We had a great family holiday at The Old Bull Stall and we were made to feel very welcome. We were looked after and the owners let our little two year old collect the eggs and gave her a tour of the farm. This is a great cottage and its well worth booking!

,The owners were a very friendly couple. Fresh farm eggs, milk and flapjacks on arrival and a vase of flowers on the table. A lovely holiday.
