I love animals and people, and BOTH groups are treated as VIP guests. On arrival, human guests are provided with hot or cold drinks and home made short breads, and dogs are welcomed with a treat and a freshly filled water bowl. If they are used to living inside and are toilet trained, they can live inside with their owners. If owners want to go out for dinner or to a national park, I look after them free of chage. We have hosted a variety of pets including dogs, cats and even guinea pigs!Our dog Ben, loves having his own canine guests, and having had over 60 doggie guests of all breeds, sizes and personalities, he has befriended them all, and been nicknamed 'Uncle Ben' by a number of human guests.

Beautiful apartment and idyllic, peaceful surroundings. We had a great time recharging our batteries, and the cats had a great time, too. Thanks again for your hospitality and we hope to come again.

Having been a teacher, I enjoy interacting with children of all ages. I also babysit them free of charge if parents want to go out for dinner. I love building their confidence with animals, as we groom the horses and donkey together and take them for walks on lead ropes. They can hold one of the hens, help collect the eggs, feed the tame magpies, play with Ben, our dog, and do drawing with me (I was also an art teacher). We have a number of Theme Gardens which some of our young guests have helped to create and leave their mark. They are so proud of their efforts. Older children enjoy the large pool table and playing on the organ. My husband is group leader for Scouts, and we both have Working with Children Cards.
