We wanted a quiet getaway to relax and enjoy and we got it. The open fire was great, the bed was so comfy and the surroundings peaceful, the hot tub a great bonus too. The fresh eggs from the chickens were also really nice. We went down into the field to see the teddy bear sheep and they were so friendly and cute. The owners were on hand and very quick to respond if we needed anything. Definitely recommend and we will be returning for another visit.
