Animals | we have two furry friends living with us, please do not feed them as they are greedy little guys and we don’t want to encourage begging. But please give them lots of cuddles as they are very friendly (if you want to). We also have chickens, ducks, goats and cats which we welcome you to say hello to, although we clean them regular they may not always be smelling so fresh.
