The space
This country feel home is located on 34 acres of wooded land. So there is plenty of space to enjoy nature. Go for a walk through the trees on gentle slopes or if you are up for it, wander down to the winter creek and climb the cliffs and check out the cave on the hill.

You will have access to the entire house. As it is situated on a working farm, we may be on site to do work in the sheds, orchard or out in the fields but we can discuss your preferences with you before or during your stay. If you want to have a farm experience, then you are welcome to join us in some farm activities such as feeding the chickens and sheep and collecting eggs. If you prefer an uninterrupted stay, then we will aim to keep out of sight if we need to undertake any animal care.
