Farmhouse Facilities
Our Cottage sleeps six adults, although ideally, we encourage families to come so that children can get their hands muddy and feed the goats and chickens in a safe, fun environment! Do remember the Farm itself is family run, so there are other young children for your little ones to play with.
Alternatively, it is also the perfect secluded get-away for couples who enjoy hill-walking or who have romance on their minds!
