    We absolutely loved our stay here and the space provided. It's a nice private location - we didn't really notice your on a working farm - with lots of cute towns and things to do nearby. The only thing to be aware of is the property is only part of the building with a couple more cottages adjacent however once inside you don't notice or hear any of the neighbouring properties.
