Farmhouse

Four-bedroom farmhouse in the countryside. All of the four double bedrooms are en suite with luxury shower and bath. Farm kitchen with barbecue, tables and chairs outside. Great for groups of friends. The supermarket is half an hour by car and you can take a train from the village into the city. Escape from normal life for a few days as we have … NO INTERNET and you can only use mobile phones at the bottom of the garden!

For my holiday, I prefer choosing a place with a good life. a place where there is a garden with the flowers that smell good, not private to internet. With TV and Two bedrooms. espacially, the place must be calm not much noise.

For a luxury holiday, I'd choose the city flat, but in some cases, I'd choose the farmhouse, if I want to be alone and have a relationship with the peaceful environment, far away from any distractions.

I would like to choose a calm and green place on holidays to relax my mind and keep engaged with family. Because children want time that is impossible in-office days in a week.

I'll choose to go to farmhouse for a holiday because the reason is I'm citizen and many people were spending their time on the city by doing work included me. And another reason is I like to spend my time at a quiet place like a green garden. That's why my favourite place that I want to go is absolutely farmhouse like many people chose.
