We had a lovely holiday and Chris and Sue were very welcoming and Sam the Collie was a lovely regular visitor to our door for a fuss. The location is very near to the Gorge and Goughs Cave is extremely interesting and spectacular. Chris very kindly showed us around the farm which was interesting especially the baby owls that hadn’t yet flown the nest in the barn.
