from the moment I arrived I felt welcome; Mary's husband Robert gave us such a warm greeting and this was my introduction to an eco-friendly, interesting, warm and hospitable household. They both did everything possible to make our holiday most enjoyable. We cooked for ourselves each evening in the very well equipped barn kitchen and slept in the cosiest bed with fresh crisp linen (was there ever a shepherd treated so well). Mary's gardens and wild meadow fields are a delight of colour with nature's abundance. I'd love to return!
