About us:
“We started the accommodation after we remodeled the Lodge. It was too big for just us and the scenery is too special not to share it with others. We just felt that the accommodation blended with the farm business perfectly as lots of our guests were fascinated by the wonderful lifestyle and how we do things here on the Chathams.”
