Farm Experience & Animals

Accommodations & Amenities
Accommodation includes a Deluxe Double Room and a Ground-Floor Apartment, both with a private bathroom and heating. Each room offers a kitchenette with a refrigerator, microwave, oven, stovetop, toaster, and electric kettle, plus a dining area and outdoor furniture. A log burner supplies wood for cold evenings, and the apartment has its own private garden space.
