We loved the rustic charm of the converted Shearer's Quarters. The record player, outdoor bath, fresh eggs and home baked cookies were surprise bonuses. We also loved reading about the history in a book by previous owner, about the farm being used for horse trekking.

Lovely wee house for weekend away. Absolutely stunning scenery. The farm animals are loud in the morning so recommend something for your ears if that's not your thing. Loved our stay!
