A note from the site themselves...

We live in such a beautiful part of the world and wanted to share it with everyone, so set up our site. A hillside retreat nestled in the rolling hills run by the Jones family (Glyn, Lynne, Reece and Carrie), who have been farming at Great House farm since 1970.

We look to develop the site every year and this year you will be able to see new animals when you visit - our Jabob sheep and our donkeys - Pablo and Barney.
