It was lovely staying on a working farm with the animals nearby, especially the new lambs (sorry cows)and there was a beautiful forest nearby for on the doorstep dog walking. I had a lovely relaxing time.

Karen was on hand if needed anything and it was lovely seeing all the new born lambs the other side of the garden. The farm dogs are super friendly. We had a lovely week and hope to come back.
