    I have just spent a week (Monday to friday) at this wonderful farm. The owners and all the staff were lovely, attentive and friendly. The facilities are spot on and I haven't enjoyed myself so much away in a long time, relaxing, lots of things to do locally as well as walks around and about the farm, horses to cuddle, guinea pigs to cuddle in the cuddle barn, very reasonable honesty shop, bike hire and the stone baked pizza was delicious. Me and my husband took our 9 year old, who loved the space, the animals and the outdoors. The tents are well maintained and the fresh chicken eggs are to die for. Tent facilities are very good, do take a blanket in the winter but we were there just now in August 2022 so we were not cold, though it can be chilly in the morning. The Fox pub in the little village down the road is a wonderful place to eat and do take up the experience of grooming the horses and going to Bevistan Farm sheep milking (and lamb feeding and cuddles!) with Bev and Steve. All in all the experience was wonderful. Hannah and Will who own the farm are approachable, helpful and run a wonderful place. Thank you from the Yesson Family xx
