A wonderful place to stay! Set amongst beautiful scenery and views from the cottage.Set on a working farm, lambing was in full swing!So much wildlife on offer, we loved watching the nesting birds and the chickens were so amazing.Clean comfortable accommodation!Thank you June for your welcome and the generous hamper you left us, the homemade cake was scrumptious! I really don’t know how you had time to bake it!I do hope you get some rest once lambing has finished!If you want peace and quiet, walks from the door and the feeling of being immersed in nature this is the place to be!
