Our stay was genuinely lovely. The cottage was charming, cosyand had stunning views that made waking up every morning a treat. The warm welcome from the staff made us feel really at home right away. We did venture out a bit, but honestly, we could've happily stayed on site, enjoying the peaceful surroundings and the comfort of the cottage. The lambing experience was unforgettable - so special! We're already planning our next visit. It really felt like coming home for a few days.
