Fresh produce...

Just beyond the boundary of the accommodation and gardens, the small holding provides us with the majority of our fresh homegrown produce. (we only use natural fertilizers and pest control: and yes, you can taste the difference!)

As well as tending the various fruit and vegetable allotments, we also have various livestock including chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigs and a goat. Through our own 'little ones', we've found that children really enjoy helping out at the various animals feeding times: picking berries to make a pudding or planting some vegetables in the childrens allotment.

Collecting the eggs in the morning or even just doing a spot of watering are also firm favourites: It's something we really encourage, and your children are free to get involved if you so wish. Consider it an easy way to add to your child's entertainment while you relax or train.
