This was our fourth visit to Ford cottage which speaks for itself, it was like visiting friends again as Phil and Geraldine are so welcoming and attentive. This was the best time to visit with our family as the 4th of April turned out to be the start of lambing season for the farm and Phil kindly allowed everyone to watch this wonderful spectacle, Read morethere were all the highs and lows to witness with lots of lambs born but the odd ones were stillborn and some were orphaned but it was fascinating to see how Phil had them adopted by other ewes. The house is ideal for our party, Im a wheelchair user and take a ramp to enable access but cannot use it indoors as the doors and corridors are a little narrow but as a family we cope. It is a lovely tranquil area close to the Ford and a small caravan site lots of wild birds, with hens and ducks on the farm as well as pigs. I have mentioned the games room in a previous review which is invaluable for the kids, needless to say this wont be our last visit as long as the dates suit. Hide
