The thing that is always amazing about being on a farm is the sound of silence. You realise something is different the constant hum of city life is gone and the peace and quiet is something you can really feel. That’s when you notice other, more calming sounds the hens and their little chicks cheep-cheeping around the garden, the goats and sheep, the guinea pigs, and the many different calls from the birds lining the branches of the trees.Sample a true taste of country life, join in feeding the animals with the children, walk hand-in-hand through the fields, watch the wildlife, learn about real people’s lives on a working farm.Our thatched, self-catering, cottage is spacious and sleeps seven. It is clean, cosy and warm with the added attraction of an open fire and a private lapa. There is plenty to see and do on the farm.We offer you a comfortable and homely base with many attractions a short drive away, but you can of course come here and do absolutely nothing. We don’t mind. Just imagine the peace and tranquility, with a log fire and a night full of stars.
