Ideally situated for visiting different locations. The property is well cared for and comfortable. We were made very welcome by Karen and the farm dogs. Weâve already booked our next break here. Thoroughly recommended.

Karen had contacted us a week before and asked if we would like a tree and decorations and when we arrived it felt cosy and homely with a beautiful Christmas hamper on arrival. Perfect secure garden with beautiful views and peaceful location to get away from it all. The farm dogs are really friendly and just want to say hello everyday, even though located on a working farm itâs quiet and added bonus of a gated driveway. Karen was so welcoming when we arrived and we managed to see her before we left. We will definitely be back.
