There is just one 3 bedroom cottage for your family, you will be the only guests on our 14 acre farm and will have exclusive access to the farm and our friendly farm animals. Guests are welcome to hand feed the friendly goats, sheep, lambs (in season), chickens in their own time. They are big fans of carrots and apples, so be sure to bring them with you. Fresh eggs are delicious, the more scraps you give to the chickens the nicer the eggs! Lena our cow, is friendly and you will find her roaming the farm, along with Fred and Ralph our two alpacas.
