Helen and Jamie couldn’t have been more attentive as hosts. From the first welcoming message to a fond farewell they offered help and advice that made our family get-together (14, including our 6 grandchildren aged 1 to 9 years old) so successfully and enjoyable. Their home is amazing. Beautiful fresh flowers in many of the rooms a lovely touch. For us it worked out that each of our “young” with their “young” effectively had a section of the home to themselves, so they could just settle in and do their own thing without impacting on the rest of the family. Then, we could gather together in their amazing kitchen, or the living room complete with a piano which was enjoyed by the two eldest grandsons teaching the younger ones how to play – properly! What an ideal setup.
The grandchildren enjoyed walks around the garden and surrounding area, feeding the pigmy goats and pigs as well as the chickens – and collecting and eating their fresh eggs! They also enjoyed an early Easter Egg treasure hunt in the back garden (not sure they found all of the eggs!).
Helen and Jamie, with a little help from family, prepared a delicious dinner of smoked salmon and BBQ lamb for us on Saturday evening. So relaxing, and a break away from the aga and dishwasher. The “adults” really appreciated being looked after so attentively and us grandparents enjoyed the night off and the opportunity to catch up with all that has happened in the lives of our young.
We would 100% recommend staying here and being looked after by such amazing hosts. I am sure that we will be back again if we can get our far flung family together again. Helen & Jamie thank you so much.
