Company information

Steve and I are retired Dairy Farmers. We love to travel and spend time with family and friends. We're here to make your trip as special as we possibly can. Meeting new people is heart warming and being able to provide a unique and comfortable experience for you is even more so. We do what we do because we genuinely enjoy it. We can be as involved as our guests want, happily stepping back to give you your privacy as well as interacting over a cuppa and some local knowledge if required. Nothing is too much trouble.
