Help
We are looking for easy going people that enjoy family life with an interest in animals. We breed race horses so we would be keen for people to have a love for animals which will allow you to gain experience and enjoy your surroundings more.
We also have a small young herd of Charolais cattle.
Our walled garden - we would love an enthusiastic person with a vision that may be able to help restore a 19th century glasshouse that has old varieties of roses and vines.
We have an 18 month old little girl who loves the outdoors so a love for children would be essential.
