Very friendly welcome for our 3 night stay. |Most comfortable accommodation like home from home in comfort and items needed whilst there. |Could have been cleaner behind the beds on the floor. Rather dusty .|Definitely would stay again if we are in the area.

Spend a weeks break on a working farm - novel experience but wasted and an acceptable change to my normal holiday breaks 😀
