The whole experience is so comfortable and peaceful with everything you could wish for within reach. The piggies have grown a bit but then they are a year older! They still came running towards us with squeals of glee which sets the day off with a big smile. The people on the farm are really friendly, nothing is too much trouble, it's such a pleasure to stay here. Perfect for Sasha, my German Shepherd, lots of interesting and fun walks and beaches to visit. If the weather prohibits beach visits, the large garden and farm tracks are so handy. We highly recommend The Farmers Arms. Amazing Sunday roast with a special bowl of lamb, beef and turkey for Sasha which was a huge winner for both her and me! Thank you so much for having us.
