Perhaps this gentleman will enjoy taking care of the animals, horticulture, going on picnics, picking fruit from the onsite orchards, kite flying, arts and crafts, computer courses or cookery? Or perhaps he’ll enjoy strolling to the local village to visit the auction houses, tea rooms and make use of their local conveniences? - This is for you to find out!
Yewdale Farm is a very unique service, which oozes fun and personality! Set within 14 acres of farmland (don’t forget your wellies), their pets include; rabbits, sheep, geese, ducks, dogs and we mustn’t forget the lizard!
