We had the most amazing week at Duckings rest - everything was perfect and the family that run Peels Farm are so friendly and approachable. If nothing else make sure you get some of the home made bread and scones - 100% next level

We loved our stay! Peaceful, tranquil and beautiful stay. Pics dont do justice to the high standard the property is done up to - just enjoying the windows out to the cows and hills are lovely. Very accommodating hosts who promptly brought over more towels when we asked. Cant wait to visit again.
