A note from the site themselves...

The farm had been in our family for three generations. Tim grew up here and can remember going out with his older brother and sister, playing out all day in the fields and woodlands, building camps and fishing in the streams, only returning home when they were hungry. I grew up with my two brothers on a neighbouring council farm and enjoyed the same idyllic childhood.

This is what we are trying to bring to our guests. When kids arrive with not a hair out of place, and when they leave, they have tousled hair, dirt on their faces, mud on their clothes and are carefully packing their favourite stick they found in the wood into the back of the car. That's a job well done for us.

We are proud to practice regenerative farming to improve the soil, which will be better for our planet and encourage more wildlife. You can already see many animals, including rabbits, foxes, badgers, birds of prey and frogs. We've planted over a thousand trees, just doing our bit to help the environment and provide plenty of natural habitats.

We enjoy sharing our little bit of paradise with our guests, and many have become friends over the years.

Hope to see you soon,

Anne and Tim
