It is a working farm rather than a manicured estate, and the accommodation follows that lead: rustic, plain, and comfortable rather than polished. Two guest house rooms each split into a pair of bedrooms, fitted with twin singles or a king bed and an en-suite shower, toilet and basin; down duvets and tea and coffee facilities come standard. The Cottage is the property's stand-out, a chalet with lake views and parquet floors, holding two bedrooms and two bathrooms with both a bath and shower. Its kitchen runs to a microwave, fridge and oven, alongside separate seating and dining areas, making it suited to longer, self-catered stays. Horse trails lead out across the farm and into the foothills, the main way to cover ground here. You can hear little beyond wind and hooves on the tracks.
