Other things to note We are happy to host ONE pet including small/medium size dog. In exceptional circumstances we will consider an additional pet for a supplementary fee. In addition we offer a dog walking service (charges apply). Pets must be kept on lead in the shared areas of the farm and we ask that pets are kept off the furniture and linens. On fine days the chickens and ducks will be roaming and we have a friendly cat and cockerpoo. There are 3 bee hives located on the farm.
