B & B
“I threw open the window and leaned out into the fresh morning air. The warmth of the sun is awakening over the horizon, the birds are singing in the nearby trees, and in the farmyard below, a small figure emerges from the barn and gives a big goodmorning  wave and  smiles . The pace and pressures of everyday life seems worlds away. I looked down over this tranquil country scene with a smile as I think – yes: this is my rural escape!”

If this is the way you like to start your day, than our Rural Retreat B&B experience is definitely for you. Prepare to relax and rejuvenate as you escape from your busy life to enjoy the peace & tranquillity of our 175 acre farm retreat. As you weave your way through restful landscapes and pull up to our farmstay B&B, you will be warmly greeted by your rural hosts Roger & Vicky Morrison.

You will then settle into your room either at the Family Farmhouse or the Woodland Cabin (available June 2009) to enjoy all the creature comforts of a well-kept century farm. Enjoy the relaxation of chatting to your host, for they can be a unique source of country lore and visitor information rolled into one. Roger’s inside knowledge explains such diverse rituals of farm & rural life such as crop rotation, herd management, Strawberry Summer Festival or Fall Fair Days. (click here for our farm history) Vicky is eager to share the nourishing and nurturing rituals of the Harvest Spa, Gaia’s Gardens, our Community Shared Garden and the art of Garden Gourmet. They can help you plan a day puttering around the neighbouring villages, map out the prettiest route to the best attractions or point out a wonderful walk that begins right at the door.

Bring a healthy appetite, as country cooking is a first-class treat in itself.  Using the highest quality foods available that sustain both the individual and the environment  means using whole, fresh, natural, seasonal food—organic whenever possible from our gardens and local farmers. With wholesome food freshly prepared for you,  the breakfast cuisine is a meal to live for and is a wonderful “energetic”  way to start your day…
