What a gem and right on our doorstep
Just come home after spending a really lovely May BH weekend at Abbotts View, it is only a few miles from home but so picturesque and peaceful we felt like we were miles away. We arrived Saturday mid-morning and despite being very busy with a group about take some of the Alpacas for a walk made us feel very welcome. When we arrived Jo directed us to where our pitch was and then came back with a welcome sheet with lots of info for places to visit and eat with a key fob for the gate so as to allow access when locked, really nice touch for people new to the area. James & Jo the owners made us feel very welcome and took time to talk to us at different times over the weekend. It was a delight to watch the Alpacas they were so amusing we were invited to join a group who were about to feed them. Took some delightful pictures of the Alpacas. Not a problem for son & family to visit on Sunday morning a small donation appreciated as this is a working small holding not a public paying viewing animal farm all visits by the public are pre-booked which is for the walking of Alpacas. There are pygmy goats, pigs, rabbits, sheep but it is definitely the Alpacas taking the main stage. The CL paddock was a good layout and nicely placed for watching the antics of the Alpacas. There were toilets on site which were exceptionally clean. As we are local to the area we stayed on site all weekend as wanted to recharge our batteries with a peaceful relaxing chill, it was that and more, definitely will be on our list to return.
