11 family and friends just spent 3 nights midweek at James Farmhouse. What a fantastic venue , everything you need is there. Nothing was to much trouble from booking to leaving and we can't recommend here for a carefree, perfect location and value for money. Thank you James and Maryanne from the Penn Family.
