We returned home yesterday after an amazing long weekend. Ali and Miles really did go above and beyond to ensure our stay was fabulous. The children (and adults!) Loved all the facilities, Miles took the children on a tractor ride, they were delighted. We loved feeding all the farm animals, it was so theraputic. All the dogs and cats were gorgeous too. The views were stunning and the cottage is quirky and so comfortable, there were nine of us and still plenty of room. As soon as I returned home I booked another weekend away for next September. Last but not least, my daughters partner popped the question and got down on one knee. It was on the balcony of the cottage with stunning scenery behind them. Perfect weekend
