Melissa And Brian are by no means your average hosts (being a host myself i am loathe to admit that my offering is no where near their level) The accomodation is clean and everything you need for a family vacation. But it was what Melissa and Brian offered in terms of the personal experience that really stood out for us. The kids got to feed the chickens (and collect some eggs) as well feeding and patting the very well behave shetland ponies and even got a chance to forage through the vegetable garden for a carrot and some rhubarb. They were such a salt of the earth and generous couple it made us look to our calandar to find the next weekend we could get away to book in and stay there.
