farm stay

friendly staff accommodation equipment farm trail

The family runs this amazing farm. the staff is friendly and helpful. They address your needs, yet maintain privacy. it is a short ten-minute drive to town. the accommodation has everything needed and offers views of the animals and farm trail.

i noticed limited signage to inform visitors of available activities. the food options were restricted to a feast and a roast . this made it inconvenient because there was no food available in the evenings given the remote location.

Service

The staff responds clearly and promptly to requests. there is an attentive and kind atmosphere. communication was concise and timely. The team addressed any questions immediately.

Fantastic Safari Tent Experience!

comfortable beds welsh wool private bathroom

The safari tent included comfortable beds, gorgeous Welsh wool throws, and electric blankets. I really enjoyed the indoor and outdoor sofas. A wood burner and a private bathroom with plenty of hot water added to my convenience.

The safari tent was a bit of a walk to the wash house.

The Sunday lunch offered meat cooked on an open fire. It came with cauliflower cheese, roasted vegetables, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Warm bread and dipping oils were provided as a starter.

The outside bar area provides a great atmosphere. I found the seating area by the barn to be quite lovely. A 'secret campfire' in the woods has marshmallows and cookies for smores!!!
