An excellent, very well equipped and spotlessly clean cottage. Judith the host is welcoming and friendly. The games room is excellent and the alpacas and donkeys in the fields are friendly. There are lovely walks from the farm itself and more adventurous ones nearby. I thoroughly recommend The Garth.
