Audrey was a lovely lady helpful and friendly. We loved seeing the sheep and talking about her experiences with them. We appreciated there was no pet policy. Many thanks for a wonderful stay. Eunice and Ray

Audrey leaves you a beautiful lemon drizzle cake, fresh eggs and milk for when you arrive. The beds are so comfortable. I would highly recommend and would stay again. Thank you for a lovely week.
