Lekido was exactly the weekend getaway we were looking for. The cabin is so cosy and comfortable, in a lovely countryside location. We really enjoyed helping out with the farm animals and Ian and Nikki couldn't have been more accommodating. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. We're looking forward to visiting again in better weather.

We had an amazing stay at Lekido. Ian and Nicky were both lovely and on hand if any issues (we didn’t have any). The log burner was perfect for a cosy weekend in January. Being right on the farm with the animals was so lovely and helping Nicky and Ian feed and care for the animals was really special. Would highly recommend a stay here!

Just the most wonderful place!! We were very lucky to have spent Christmas at this beautiful cosy cabin with its log fire, peaceful location and lovely setting. Watching the ducks, geese, chickens, sheep and goats from the window was an absolute delight. Feeding the animals with Ian was definitely a highlight - you can really feel the passion & dedication the family put into all their hard work. It was the perfect getaway, made even better by fantastic hosts. Thank you for such a relaxing and memorable stay - we will definitely be back!!!
