We were after a calm break away to celebrate our 40ths and to relax and it was the perfect place to do so. The hosts Michael and Lee are so welcoming, both really friendly without being in anyway intrusive. They helped my husband plan a little surprise for me which was so lovely and kind of them. The pod is immaculately clean, lovely comfortable beds and plenty of space. The views are all fields and it's so calming. Being in the hot tub when it's a clear night is amazing the stars are so clear - set the tub lights to red. We attended as a family of 4, a 2year old an 8year old. We all loved being so close to the animals, I was slightly worried that it may be a little smelly due to them being so close but I can confirm that it wasn't at all. The children wanted to feed the sheep and chickens and they were so excited when "farmer Michael" gladly gave them food to do so. We were able to get fresh layed eggs too which were delicious. The location is close enough to get into the local town for shops in 5/6 mins but far away that it's quiet and relaxing if that's what your after. It's also quite near to Alton Towers and Trentam Monkey Forrest if your after a base. Alot of the sheep are currently pregnant and we are hoping to return later in the year to see all the lovely little lambs playing in the fields. If I was pushed to say anything which could improved it would literally only be to add something to hang the towels in the bathroom as this was a little struggle when all 4of us got out of the hot tub and to have access to a highchair. We managed just fine, but as the stools don't have backs it was a worry with our 2yrs old. I guess you could take one with but that's not ideal when having to pack prams, cases etc. Thanks again for a beautiful stay Michael and Lee
