I stayed with Carolyn for a week in late February and had a fab time! Spent most of my working hours weeding and got shown around the farm and helped out during milking a few times too. Absolutely stunning views, and the company - both animal and human - is excellent. I can’t recommend Carolyn’s workaway enough!
