What our guests have to say!
This is just heaven in earth.
Great welcome, beautiful quiet place , no road noise. Peace.
The food is fantastic especially the freshly baked sourdough.
Rained heavily when we stayed, the shepards hut was as cosy as could be. Lovely.
Barn is so close and has all mod cons.
Best of all are the very knowledgeable, hard working hosts, Mary and Robert.
