    “Bungalow style, spacious accommodation.”

    Lovely country setting on working dairy farm; good base for touring that part of the country by car. **The Owners allow guests to witness milkings as well as walk the farm, so if you haven't had the opportunity to see where milk comes from, this opportunity is highly recommended!!** The owners seemed very pleasant and friendly on the occasion we had a chat. A basic 'Welcome pack' of milk and biscuits was provided; tea, coffee, and sugar were also supplied.
