For many years my job and life has revolved around looking after visitors, as well as working with my husband on our farm. Our farm is run to the principles of Regenerative Agriculture, we own our farm and intend to leave it in better shape than when we started farming. The farm is a haven for wildlife, many species of grasses and wildflowers. guests will see cattle and sheep grazing, as well as free range pigs and ponies. So the years go by, we now have grandchildren. So as well as bed and breakfast, we have 3 Self catering Cottages, Shepherd’s Huts, Glamping and almost wild Camping Mike runs the farming side and creates bespoke green oak furnishings to commission. We work hard to ensure our guests relax. But we also spend time testing out and researching all the delightful pubs and restaurants locally. Walking the walks and footpaths, Cycling the quiet lanes so that we can keep our guests up to date with all that's so special about this corner of Cumbria , and beyond. We are happy here, I hope you will be too.
