Dip in and out of farm life as you please, meeting the animals and even collecting fresh eggs. Your children’s eyes will look on in wonderment as they feed the resident donkeys, goats and chickens, whilst your dogs will have the time of their lives goofing around in the fields and sniffing out new scents.

Start your day with breakfast in the spacious kitchen. Breakfast packs are available from the farm and the kitchen with breakfast area has lots of space to spread out. Just around the corner from the kitchen is the dining room, and further on you will enter the lounge. A cosy space with Smart TV and wood burner fire, it is a great place for the family to gather together whilst the dogs enjoy some well-deserved belly scratches. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (one double and one twin) and a family bathroom.

Offering plenty of activities onsite, the whole family can be kept easily entertained.

Kates Cottage was everything we were hoping for as a countryside retreat from urban living, a wood-burner each evening to keep us toasty warm, and beautiful countryside to explore all around. We arrived with our big bouncy Irish Setter who was given the freedom to run free in the allocated secure field. If you love animals, there are lots to get toRead more know at the Mill, time it right and you might meet baby donkeys or baby goats. too adorable! The hosts are warmly welcoming, I highly recommend.

If you want to stay in a peaceful location away from it all then here's the place for you. Hilary & Chris are great and are more than happy to recommend places as much as they are to want you to get involved with the animals if you want too (and why not). Delightful cosy cottage with a log burning fire & the best tasting fresh free range eggs from Read morethe chickens you see when you also visit the miniature donkeys. A great little hamlet tucked out of the way in the countryside but 15 mins from town. Hide

Kate's cottage was the perfect getaway for a family with 2 young boys. Chris and Hilary, the hosts, were lovely and welcoming and happy to help with anything. We love rural, farm type locations and this one ticked all our boxes. Hilary was kind enough to introduce the kids to all the animals. The cottage is lovely, the outdoor seating area was a reRead moreal sun trap and the kids play area was enjoyed by the kids. Easy access for many days out, all in all a lovely stay. Hide
