Unplug from the digital world and embrace the serenity of this retreat. Without WiFi or a TV, you’ll have the opportunity to reconnect with nature. Explore beautiful bike rides and scenic walks that are right on your door step. Pets are more than welcome in our pet-friendly retreat. However, we are a working farm, so ask that all dogs must be kept under control and kept on a lead where livestock are near. After a day of exploring, return to the cosy confines of the shepherd’s hut where the comforting warmth of a wood burning stove awaits. Cap off your day by visiting the local pubs, they offer a warm and inviting atmosphere with a delicious cuisine.
