Some of the family stayed at Swallows Nest and some in a touring caravan. The staff from start to finish were excellent providing a warm and friendly reception,helpful cleaning staff and brilliant customer service. The farmer was really sweet with the children at animal feeding time. We loved being with the animals, enjoyed a drink in the bar and everyone thought the hot tub was perfect. It’s not the cheapest place to stay but did seem really special.
