Summary: We stayed for five nights at this absolutely beautiful place, and it was everything we hoped for and more. Surrounded by rolling hills, lush greenery, and the gentle sounds of nature — sheep grazing, cows mooing — it was the perfect private getaway. One of the highlights was Bellamy, the stunning and gentle horse we were able to feed and stroke – such a joy!Our hostess, Harriet, was truly exceptional — warm, kind, and incredibly helpful. She went above and beyond to make our stay special. When we needed anything, she was right there, always with a smile. One of the most memorable moments was when she took us out on her quad bike to feed the sheep and cows, patiently answering all our questions and making us feel so welcome.It was an absolute pleasure staying at this magical location. We’ll definitely be back!
