1 review “Fantastic!!!”
Wow what a holiday. Amanda and Andy were the best hosts and totally went out of their way to make our holiday brilliant. The tractor rides, collecting the eggs, feeding the animals and walking the goats to bed were the highlight for my 2 young boys. We actually stayed the "retreat" and found the property to be very clean and spacious, it actually looked just like the picture! I couldn't fault anything just absolutely fantastic from booking to leaving. Thank you so much.

“Wonderful family weekend”
We stayed at The Stables property as the Retreat was booked when we needed it . It is a lovely modern restored barn . Amanda sent out information as soon as it was booked and supplied cot and bed rail . The accomodation was clean and really lovely .
Amanda and her husband were perfect ! Really friendly and welcoming . The highlight has got to be visiting and feeding the animals (chicks,geese,hens , goats , pony and the beautiful sheep family ) and the great tractor ride we were given . Our two year old loved it as did my husband and his parents . We also walked down to their lake where we saw a family of goslings and some eggs not yet hatched .
We will definately return . Great self catering accomodation that has that something special .
