If there’s any place where you can experience farm life, be it from the sidelines or helping out, it’s at magical Rathe House. No lavish luxuries here and yet it felt like a true treat. The barn (2p) is cozy and kept comfortably warm and the vast grounds belonging to Brian’s estate are amazing. Finish off the day in front of the fire in the common room and hot whiskey if you are lucky and some wonderful stories. And all the dogs got along fine. Brian, thanks for having us.
