Very comfortable stay on a working farm - all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Best homemade ice cream helped ! Will be returning with our grand daughter for her birthday - she will love feeding the animals. Highly recommended.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying there. Sitting out on the patio with a peacock for company is brilliant.

It is still clean, tidy and well equipped. The good wifi connection was a extra bonus this year, as we could keep in contact with the family as the phone reception is poor. We are booking another visit next year.
