Quirky little farm stay, its very cute. We stayed as a couple in the teepee. Its what you expect for a farm stay and glamping experience. Also did feeding the animals.

Nothing, all was good!

Great quirky and wholesome environment for our family holiday. The staff were really responsive, and our kids loved feeding the animals each morning.

If you're after a luxurious, pristine, sanitised hotel, this place isn't for you. For us it was exactly what we were after, but you need to do your research so you know what you're in for!

1.0

The fact it was quirky

The guy there was grumpy and constantly moaned about how tired he was and being kept up past 9pm was awful as had to feed animals at 8:15, went on and on then charged us per half hour past 9pm then hung round our room for ages at night which was weird
