Groom's cottage has everything you would want in a holiday property - it is very clean, spacious and comfortable and is beautifully fitted out. Everything you could need is there and in excellent order.
Our grandchildren joined us for a couple of nights and once again absolutely loved it. We have stayed at Town Farm before and it is one of their favourite places. All the staff are genuinely friendly and helpful and we hope to return next year.

Grooms is the third cottage we’ve stayed in at Town Farm it didn’t disappoint. This one has a sizeable, secure garden with views over the hills and it feels very private. Ground floor rooms are particularly spacious. The team at Town Farm are very friendly and helpful and we’ve enjoyed being here.

We have nothing but praise for our recent stay at one of the Town Farm cottages. Booking was very friendly and helpful and after our arrival we were made to feel genuinely welcome - as was our little dog and also our grandchildren when they came several times to visit! They absolutely loved the place and its play facilities.
The cottage itself was very clean, bright, warm and comfortable and we appreciated the fresh flowers and fridge items that were left for us. We were also pleased we were able to park our car right outside our cottage so a quick dash was all we needed on a couple of really rainy days
Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you... and we very much look forward to another visit!

This was our second stay at Town Farm Cottages and our first in Grooms Cottage. Overall the cottage was well presented and is ideally located in a picturesque and peaceful setting with easy access to local ammenities. The communication with the staff at Town Farm Cottages beforehand and during our staff was excellent. The kitchen was well equipped with all the applicances we needed and there was ample crockery, utensils and cooking equipment. The rooms were all well furnished with plenty of seating in the communal area and storage in the bedrooms. There were a couple of more negative points for us though such as the duvets were far too thick for the time of year and a summer weight duvet would have been preferable, the drawer fronts on most of the freezer drawers were cracked making opening them difficult when avoiding making futher damage, the settees were a little uncomfortable and the mop in the cleaning cupboard had a rather unpleasant smell from being stored away damp. Some of these points though are more personal prefence on our part such as the duvets and settees. We'd have no hesitation in staying again if on holiday in the area and would also consider camping too as the facilites for campers looked impressive with pop up caters being on site over the summer period. The fish and chips from the van on site were delicious..



A perfect view of The Beacon

Nestled in the foothills of the Chiterns, Town Farm and Grooms is an excellent base to enjoy the Ashridge estate, with so many wonderful walks .
Grooms cottage is part of the outbuildings of the farm and is set in a secluded courtyard, with stunning views over the surrounding countryside. We loved the evening sunset and view of Pitstone Windmill.
The Leach’s who run the cottages and campsite are the best of hosts, with nothing being too much trouble.
If you want a bolt hole in the heart of The Chilterns , you should definitely consider Grooms Cottage or one of the other properties in the Farm.

The cottage is in a idyllic location overlooking Ivinghoe Beacon, breathtaking views and just a short walks from the village which has a lovely pub. Grooms is the perfect location to unwind and the hosts, the Leach family, could not be friendlier or mor helpful. We are loving our time here and would recommend it to anyone looking for a short break, or in our case a place to stay while our new build is completed.

This is the third time we have stayed in town far cottages and we enjoyed our stay just as much as usual. the cottage was spacious well equipped and our dogs loved the big grassy garden. The cottage was well equipped and catered for all our needs including one of our group who was disabled. the only improvement would have been a seat in the downstairs shower. but otherwise another great stay. we will definitely return

The staff were so helpful and friendly and made what could have been quite a stressful start to life in a new area, very calm and enjoyable, particularly for the kids. I have recommended it highly to many friends.

We stayed in Grooms Cottage of Town Farm for just over a week. It is in the perfect location for many walks, Whipsnade zoo and much more. The cottage is well furnished with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms are lovely and roomy with plenty of storage space. Bed linen, towels & shower gel was provided and the tea, coffee & cookies and starter washing up kit was a lovely touch. There is a small fenced garden with a picnic table attached to the property and considering Town farm is also a camping site the cottage seemed very private & quiet. My only comment is the water pressure in the showers is very low, so as a lady with long hair washing it took longer than usual.



A great find!

We were not at Town Farm for a holiday - building work meant we had to move out of our home for some weeks - however we certainly felt like we were on holiday! We stayed in Grooms. It had everything we needed for a family and the bedrooms were spacious. The garden overlooked the countryside and we spent many an evening enjoying the view over a cold beer. It’s in a beautiful location - lots of walks and good pubs nearby for food. A perfect venue for exploring The Chilterns.

We had a lovely comfortable stay at Grooms Cottage. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Grooms Cottage has a beautiful outlook from the back and Town Farm is conveniently situated. A short walk into the village of Ivinghoe where there are some friendly local pubs. We had a wonderful stay here with our grown up family who are spread far and wide. This was a convenient meeting place for us all and greatly suited our needs.

We enjoyed our stay here- a 3 generation Christmas celebration. There was plenty of room and also a good supply of pots, pans, crockery and cutlery which is not always the case in holiday cottages. Our only disappointment was the lack of Christmas decorations! Fortunately one of our daughters was able to bring a tree with lights and baubles. A good time was had by all!

Our family of 5 with the addition of two hairy Basset Hounds and a Staf had a delightful 5 week stay in this lovely cottage.
The cottage was well equipped and clean., very comfortable and warm. The vistas and suironding area are beautiful and peaceful. It was a charming and relaxing stay.
The attention we received from the hosts were second to none.
We will definitely be back.

Just returned to Ireland after a fantastic week in Town Farm, it's a great location, close to Luton Airport, Whipsnade Zoo is just 5 mins away, walks, trekking, shops, villages all around us, on a beautiful farm looking out on lush fields. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything you needed for your stay. Although there's about 16 cottages and a campsite it's very quiet and peaceful. The campsite seems to be very well ran as it gets very busy at weekends but at night you don't hear a thing, would I go back.......in a heartbeat

This is a spacious, well-equipped barn conversion in an AONB - the view from the garden at the back is outstanding. Excellent customer service from the family who own Town Farm - very helpful and friendly. Thoroughly recommended.

The cottage was clean and welcoming when we arrived. The tarts, milk and tea/ coffee were very welcome, but it would have been more useful to have salt and pepper, a kitchen spray, washing up brush and cheese grater. The location is excellent and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Apart form the items mentioned above the cottage has everything you need - it is not luxurious but is comfortable and practical.I would happily return for another holiday.

I stayed at Grooms Cottage within Town Farm for 2 months and have no complaints about the accommodation or the level of assistance and support from the "Town Farm Team" which was friendly and efficient as ever - I have stayed at Town Farm 15/20 times previously and this is always the case.

The location is ideal, peaceful but close enough to any amenities required.
