The cottage on the farm is an escape from the everyday.
Ready to escape the hustle and bustle of the city? The Cottage on the Farm provides the perfect getaway. This newly renovated shabby chic cottage features a walk out patio with a comfy conversation set and fire table. Your nearest neighbours are of the four-legged variety and will probably drop by for a quick visit. Caution! Millie, the black angus heifer, considers herself to be quite the hairstylist—she specializes in cowlicks. In addition to cows, the farm also is home to sheep, goats, pigs, chickens, ducks, a couple of horses and a donkey. And, of course, we have a bunch of dogs. And, please, the cottage is a dog free zone so don’t let them convince you it isn’t!
Inside the cottage, you’ll be able kick back and relax by enjoying your favorite streaming services on the smart tv or play a board game or do a jigsaw puzzle. The heat pump affords a comfortable climate, automatically heating or cooling as the temperature dictates. You can whip up a meal or snack in the efficient kitchen fitted out with a Breville microwave/air fryer/toaster oven, induction hot plate, and electric grill as well as dishes, glasses, pots and pans. You’ll find some farm eggs in the fridge as a welcome gift.
The one bedroom cottage sleeps 4 people in total. There is a queen size bed in the bedroom and a queen size bed in the pull out couch. The space is also equipped with a bathroom with a shower and a stand up clothes washer and dryer.
