A very relaxing victorian farmhouse with mod cons and plenty of cooking equipment. Nicely decorated. Comfy beds. Warm and cosy lounge and snug. Plenty of space indoors and a garden. Added optional bonus of caring for some hens and eating their eggs. Lovely setting and fantastic opportunities for star gazing Good ideas for days out.

Really enjoyed our family holiday, in your home, thank you. The chickens were a great hit. The farmhouse was relaxed, spacious and comfortable, enough room for everyone and it was so quiet outside! As the sun shone, the beaches were an ideal way to spend the day. Heatherslaw Railway and Paxton House were a bonus too.
