According to our kids, "This was the best holiday EVER". Karen and Steve were amazing hosts and really went out of their way to make our holiday special. It was a real treat to sleep inside the Tobacco Kiln, which was very comfortable for us. We had the upstairs bed which is perched on the mezzanine (which was where the tobacco was originally dried!), the kids had the downstairs bunk. The kitchen was fully equipped and we chose to get the continental breakfasts which was bread, fresh eggs (straight from the hens!) cereals and milk. There was also tea/coffee etc. We were also asked to pick as many fresh cherry tomatoes as we wanted. They were delicious! Thoughtful touches such as toys for the kids and books make it extra special. The bathroom is attached and very clean. The kiln is set overlooking beautiful pastures with sheep and a striking view of the Grampians.
Learning about the history of the place and about how the farm operates was very interesting. If you get a chance, do have a tour of the farm.
If you love animals, this place is a must with the beautiful and friendly sheep dogs who come to visit you. They are super friendly, but incredibly kind -natured and well-behaved. We were lucky that one of the dogs just had puppies, so we got to hold (and name!) one. It the perfect get away from the city. Fresh air, scenic view, lovely hospitality in a beautiful location.
