We also had enough free time to enjoy the beautiful countryside around to make the most of our holiday. I can't wait to go back and see all the plans… read more

Laila sadly left us this morning and was such a great help. A really willing worker and joy to have around. She got involved with four trees that had come down over winter and was great with the chain saw and getting it all cleared. We look forwards to her return which we hope will be soon.
