Lovely barn conversion, extremely friendly and helpful owners. Good working farm with lots of sheep, friendly dogs, 4 ponies and 5 noisy peacocks! There's a great honesty box at the gateway with lovely,freshly laid eggs most days.Set in an extremely peaceful village with a minimum 15 mins drive from anywhere, there is a village shop which is quite Read moreexpensive and has limited produce. Nearest beach is Westward Ho! which our Daughters labrador loved and was around 20 mins drive away and 5 to park. Hide
