I enjoyed my stay at the property. I loved the walks in the forests. I loved learning about cob building. I learnt a few details about gardening. Philomena is a phenomenal host. Stuart, her husband made amazing meals. I had booked 2 nights but ended up extending for 2 more nights! I totally recommend!

Simple but comfortable and well decorated place perfect for a peaceful retreat. Possibility to cook on site in each of the two well-appointed cottages. No electricity but solar for the light, the hot shower and charging the electronic devices. Great welcome from the hosts (Philomena and Dickson),
