What Our Guests Say
The cabin was cosy, and lovely... neat, clean, and perfect for our needs. The animals on the farm were lovely to see on our way out, and the Jack Russell was gorgeous! We took our puppy and they got on great.

Excellent location quiet and peaceful, a site-seeing tour of the farm by Gordon was most appreciated. Daniel was very helpful. He met us with the keys, and not forgetting Axel, what a character, got on well with our dog Remi.
