There is nothing better than life on a rual retreat. Loved spending time with the horses and helpng with their care. Bear the dog was our shadow and of couse the cats and bunnies were a bonus and fun to look after.During the day we were able to do so much exploring in the numerous towns and cycle trails. Meg was very welcoming on our arrival and easy to get along with. Thanks for choosing us Meg.
