Oliver was absolutely amazing to communicate and liaise with. He was very welcoming and happily helped us settle in and was very patient with helping our younger children milk the cow. The area was clean and very inviting. Would definitely recommend and would love to stay again one day!!

We loved camping at this farm. The animals are super friendly and we had the opportunity to feed them, milked the cow and it was a lovely, well-maintained and spacious spot. Oliver and his whole family are great hosts. Highly recommended.
