Since taking over the property in the Spring of 2006 Stuart and Gabrielle Anderson have been slowly and surely building this little business and developing their small holding and nearby woodland using permaculture as a guide. The cottage recently had a kitchen re-fit and cottage number 2 is on the way. A range of courses is offered and has recently expanded to include soap making and felt making

alongside the existing sausage making and 'chicken pen to pot' courses as well as a range of more specific 'smallholding' type courses- fencing, animal husbandry etc. The woodland trail was completed at the end of the winter with help from our excellent volunteers and this has really opened up the woods for visitors.

Nous avons coupé le bois de chauffage pour l'année prochaine juste à temps ! Nous avons 4 hectares de terrain boisé privé pour que nos vacannciers peuvent balader.
Wir schneiden das Brennholz für das nächste Jahr gerade noch rechtzeitig! Wir haben 4 Hektar privates Waldland, auf dem unsere Urlauber herumlaufen können.
We cut the firewood for next year just in the nick of time! We have 4 hectares of woodland which guests can walk in and heats all the cottages including ours in winter.

It rarely happens here so when it does it’s special!

Ladybird love
Ladybird love

I saw these two in the potager today and thought that nothing says Spring like ladybird love! J'ai vu ces deux-là dans le potager aujourd'hui et j'ai pensé que rien n'annonce le printemps comme l'amour des coccinelles!

Pine marten in our woods
Pine marten in our woods

A story in The Guardian today shows a rare pine marten caught on camera in Yorkshire for first time in 35 years; here's one we caught on our wildlife camera in our woodland last May. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/aug/07/rare-pine-marten-caught-on-camera-in-yorkshire-for-first-time-in-35-years

Our little piglets are getting used to us. Nos petits porcelets s'habituent à nous.

I am getting ready to make a new batch of soap, our own honey and lemon. I give a free sample to guests each week and you can buy bars to take home. I unwrapped soap I made yesterday, mint and tea tree. Je me prépare à faire un nouveau savon avec notre propre miel. Je donne un échantillon gratuit aux vacanciers chaque semaine et vous pouvez acheter des savonnettes. J'ai déballé un que j'ai fait hier, la menthe et 'tea tree'.

Our Story

We took over the property in the Spring of 2006 and have been building up this business and developing our small holding and nearby woodland using permaculture as a guide. There’s a holiday cottage and a barn, both renovated to a high standard. You can do a course during your stay -home-made soap from scratch or sausage making with our home raised meat. Our 11 1/2 acre woodland has a trail that passes by the river Rance and has really opened up the woods for visitors.
