Our cottages are renovated farm-workers’ cottages, located on a working organic sheep farm, so guests should expect some of the quirks that come with the environment. If you would like to find out more about our sheep, cows or newly-planted orchard, we will be more than happy to chat.
In July and August, bookings run from Saturday to Saturday and the period of stay is weekly.
