Ellen and Matt were a great help when they stayed! We did a little bit of everything - somethings are not the most exciting on a farm but they got really stuck into everything! They helped us get things done which had been on our list for a year or so - excellent to have them to stay. Easy to get on with and everything was left beautifully clean… read more

What a delightful couple Ellen and Mat are. They are clearly a very intelligent and professional couple with a great sense of humour. They were not at all reluctant to get their hands dirty, they willingly did some pretty menial tasks but it was such a help and made such a difference to us. They are keen to learn, particularly about the horses and… read more
