Beautiful house, setting & garden. Helpful & friendly owners. Comfortable private rooms. Good, generous breakfast.

A little remote, which also has its advantages, & on a gravel road.

"Relaxing time on a remote working farm"

10.0

Karen and Bruce were superb hosts and made our short stay very enjoyable and instantly relaxing. Karen and the setting exude calmness. My wife and I went for a walk and a swim in the river, we met the farm pets and we just relaxed around the house. The Louisa suite was superb and exactly as in the pictures with s super comfy bed. This is a working farm with an interesting family history dating back to it’s origins. Can’t recommend it highly enough. Thank you for a perfect stay!

"Karen was a lovely host and we had a very peaceful and relaxing time on the farm with wonderful hospitality."

10.0

My husband and I loved the peaceful garden and having the opportunity to feed the farm pets. We spent almost all of our stay on site and found our room to be a clean and bright oasis. Bruce showed us the farm and answered all of our questions about the sheep.

Nothing.
