We had a fantastic time at Mount farm and will definitely be returning.
We had a fantastic time at Mount farm and will definitely be returning. We were made to feel very welcome and Marj was fantastic with the children (aged 2, 7 and 10). The children loved petting the animals and playing on the park in their wellies. The cottage was very cosy and the hottub was a brilliant facility. The Emus overlooking the garden made us all giggle! Thanks for a brilliant stay.
