Owner comment

'We’ve lived in this little bit of paradise for over 25 years! We’ll miss the magnificent views, the sunny sitting places around the gardens throughout the day, the duck pond, the copse full of daffodils each spring and the wisteria in bloom. We’ve loved running Hart Farm where we’ve had the privilege of watching our alpacas, mini donkeys, mini goats and sheep put back the smiles on the faces of young people struggling to cope with a range of life challenges. What a rewarding hobby it has been! An opportunity exists to take over the Hart farm concept. We’ll miss it all but as we get older, it’s sadly time to open the next chapter of our lives.'
