This is a superb setting for Luton airport customers. You are literally in the last bed before the runway. This means it isn't quiet when the planes fly over, but it is superbly comfortable and the hosts go the extra mile with small but winning touches including the ready when you are breakfast for those travelling at odd times. Great stay, but bring your ear plus if you want to pretend you are not staying near the airport.

Really disappointed with our stay. Previous stayed over a year ago and it was wonderful had all the animal and the owners were lovely. Weren’t told that the owners had changed over and all the animals had all gone. Had a very upset daughter. Nothing near by and never saw the owners. Wouldn’t come back Also no sink to wash up.

What a wonderfully idyllic place to spend a night. I only wish it was the week before when we had unseasonably warm temperatures so I could wile away the evening in the private patio area looking out over the pond with water feature installed. Nice security with the automated gate along with the digital lock for entry. I had everything I needed for my overnight stay as well as waking up to everything required for a lovely continental breakfast. The place was nice and rural and yet still pretty close to civilization. The only slight drawback was that the property was in the middle of the flight path for jets coming out of Luton Airport but it really didn't present any problem when it came to getting rest.

The property is in a unique location within easy driving distance from Luton and several small local towns (the country roads are narrow and occasionally challenging). The rooms were clean and a good size. However the location is under the flight path in to Luton airport and the planes start flying over around 6am.

Great property that was convenient for Luton Airport. Done out lovely and breakfast offered was a special touch. Only took us 10 minutes to get to the airport! Whilst we didn’t expect the property to be quiet as it was so near the airport, we didn’t quite expect to be in the exact landing flight path for the planes which was incredibly noisy. Even with earplugs it was loud. Quite relentless when it’s every 5 minutes. Real shame as property and location is wonderful!

Lovely room, great furnishings, bathroom to die for, pleasant outlook (or would be if the pond were fuller). Perhaps accentuate the positive by saying "close to airport" in advert, as aircraft noise was a bit of a shock. Minor problem with bathroom door and emergency no. only left message - we managed to sort in time.

Overnight stay with a difference
Lovely short stay and the animals are such a nice extra! Room was warm and clean and the croissants in the morning were a nice touch. Super close to the airport (you can actually see the runway!) but there are earplugs provided. We had a great stay.

This place is gorgeous. I literally live everything about it. But whilst its idilic its also horrific when trying to sleep. I cant sleep with ear plugs and the planes are just awful. Its so gorgeous aside from the planes. Hence the review

I had a lovely, relaxing stay. Fresh, hot croissants were brought to my room in the morning and I was given a tour of the farm to meet all the animals. Each suite has a private patio looking out to the duck pond, horse’s field and Luton airport runway. I enjoyed watching the animals and planes come in. I definitely recommend and will be going back for another “staycation” as it’s less than an hour from me.

I have a very mix view about this hotel. Positive The Farm is very beautiful Our room was spacious with microwave, water, and other items. Charging point for electric vehicles Negative Contacted the owner a few days before the stay told me to text him didn’t get back until day of the stay. No key card or anyone to check us into the room although our plans to arrive change which I kept the owner notified No where is it stated that the farm under flight plan constant noise airplanes taking after was a distraction even with ear plugs this should of been noted on the description. Lastly which really sored the trip was to have two large dogs been set up on me while I came back from the shops. The experience was not nice at all to think that these dogs would bite me and no one from the main building done anything for a few minutes. Just Outright disgusting and made to feel not welcome by nearly being Even after the patronising apologise that I should know that the dogs weren’t aggressive just made the stay even more upsetting. It’s really telling as big black man I am the only reviewer to have had this experience of having two barking dogs been set upon because they thought I was a stranger or even worse trying to burglar their home. It’s 2021 still have to deal racist stuff like this is unbelievable.

If you are looking for a nice relaxing country break then this is your answer! My husband and I was greeted by a lovely member of the team, who also provided a tour of the farm animals. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The room was very clean and the personal touches they include to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our room also had a patio with relaxing furniture facing a pond. This was very relaxing and was definitely what we needed away from the hussle and bussle of London. Around the farm we was also treated with friendly smiling faces and a couple of waggy tails :) I’d hight recommend as you won’t be disappointed! These owners clearly love what they are doing and it shows. We look forward to stay again. Thank you Bailey’s Farm

Great place - great fun
This is a great place to stay- very interesting collection of animals on the farm including camels and Emus. Yes you did read that right The only thing that must be mentioned is that it right at the end of the runway and planes fly directly over the farm at 500 feet. Personally I loved it as I’m a bit of a plane spotter !! They do provide earplugs in the bedroom just in case it gets to you but I actually had a good notes sleep Very thoughtful to have bread, cereals, milk etc in the room so you can make your own breakfast Try to avoid eating at the local pub unless you have a sandwich

Brilliant Farm stay!
We had such a lovely stay at Baileys Farm! We stayed for two nights in Claire’s corner room. The room was spacious, lovely and clean, with plenty of room for myself, my husband and our two little boys. Alan and Michelle were really good hosts, but our star was Gaby who gave us a lovely tour of the farm and went that extra mile to accommodate my two animal loving little boys - including feeding the camels, the horses and even collecting our own fresh eggs from the chickens! My highlight was the warm croissants delivered to our room for breakfast! Also a perfect 30 minute drive from the Harry Potter Warner bros tour in nearby Watford. Thanks for a great stay! We will be back! ❤️

Pretty and comfortable B&B in the country.
The property was lovely, our apartment was well appointed and spacious and parking was plentiful and convenient. Fresh croissants at breakfast were a lovely treat and coupled with the ample supply of bread, yoghurt and cereal, breakfast was delicious. Staff did give us the opportunity to meet the animals, which unfortunately we were not able to do, but we were surrounded by ducks, geese and peacocks and the Meer cats and owls (housed close to the apartments) were delightful to watch. We did notice the aircraft noise obviously, but they didn't keep us awake and we did not need to use the complimentary ear plugs. Our only suggested improvements would be: - Turn on the heating before guest arrival. Our suite was very cold and took several hours to warm up; we had to wear coats and sit under a blanket until we left for dinner at 7.p.m. - Tumble dry the towels. (and perhaps invest in bath sheets?) The towels were quite small and very rough on the skin. At luxury accommodations like this, fluffy, soft towels are more appropriate. - Address the random wires in the wall. The lovely decor was slightly lessened by two random cables coming out of the wall/ceiling going nowhere. It was clearly not a safety issue, but just looked a bit odd, considering the high standard to which the apartment had been finished. Overall, a lovely stay in a picturesque setting with friendly staff and adorable animals.

The view from the bedroom was very welcoming having a pond with geese and horses in the background . Animals , including alpacas and peacocks but the beautiful owl in the owners office completely unfazed by the three lovely dogs around was superb . Kids would love it here

Business Trip Bonus!
This was only meant for a business trip as I was visiting another site nearby and stumbled across this place, but had a wonderful stay. Mindy greeted us late at night and showed us to our lovely accomodation, breakfast had baked croissants delivered, room was very clean and tidy and the animals was such a bonus! Intending to come back now!

Great place lovely people but if you want a quiet break not the place with low flying planes as on flight path to Luton. Such a shame lovely place and animals walking around. Also a wardrobe or hooks on bathroom doors would be useful.
