Great retreat for mindfulness and being one with nature
We absolutely loved our stay at the sanctuary. Communication with Elin was excellent and all my questions were answered. The sanctuary does an amazing, selfless job, looking after the animals, which would otherwise be put down. Lots of love, care and attention, not only to the animals but to us as guests too. We had complete free range of the farm, and could wonder around on our own. The goats were just adorable - Peter in particular and we will also miss Walter and Button (sheep), not to mention Rammy welcoming us in the morning (ram). Kim was really lovely and included our children when feeding the animals. The views from our barn were just breath taking. We will definitely be visiting again and fully recommend the sanctuary to all. Thank you to everyone that made our stay memorable.
