We would be pleased to have you share our piece of paradise, we are a local family with children who live on the property in the original family home. You’ll barely see us as the two dwellings are separated by gardens and fencing and you will have your own entrance and car parking. You may catch a glimpse of us as we feed the chickens or tend to the gardens, but other than that it will be on an occasion we will cross paths, however if we are nearby feel free to ask if you would like some local tips and advice.
