The wood burner makes it perfect. Comfortable chairs and beds. Coordinate duvet and curtains and farm themed kitchen. On arrival the sponge cake was gorgeous and much appreciated . Sarah was very helpful and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed.

The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. There was a tasty homemade cake left by the owner which was eaten with an unhealthy speed! It was on a working sheep farm and it was lovely to watch the sheep from our garden. The garden was very secure and there are some lovely walks locally.

A huge thankyou to Sarah,Mike and the family for taking time out to chat and the cake and scones even though you are constantly on the go with the farm. The area is so peaceful and the perfect place to use as a base to explore the area but relax of an evening time. You couldnât want for more with plenty there if the weather is not the best. Thankyou for everything and we will be back again without doubt. 5 star plus.
