We all had a wonderful time. Our toddlers loved feeding the chickens and the campfire and its surrounding. The other highlight for them was also the local friendly bird life. There was plenty of room to cater for the various ages of our party. My only thing we found was no tea towels so it was a trip to the shops to get some. A suggestion if possible would be baby gates at the top and bottom of the stairs. We did get inventive and lucky ours were to busy to figure out how to get past our obstacle. But we would most definitely recommend this as a holiday place. Thank you for this wonderful place.
