My partner and I stayed here over Easter Weekend. Protea Cottage was a wonderful base for us while we explored the Upper North. Polly and Geoff are very warm and welcoming hosts with a trio of adorable dogs that - if you let them - will visit regularly for a snuggle (they're very well behaved and will wait patiently outside for you to notice them). Polly gave us plenty of tips on what's good and how to best get around. The farm itself is very serene and you are free to wander around. We took a walk around the first day and were escorted by Ted (the oldest dog) who very kindly showed us the route across the lily pond and through to where the little family of horses live (thanks Ted!). Very much recommend this accommodation to anyone who needs a peaceful escape to the countryside. Thanks Polly and Geoff!
