Pets

Our Pets

Molly

Molly, the Springer Spaniel, lives at another house on the farm but can often be found playing with Brenda and Jasper. She adores people and will happily roll on her back so that you can give her belly a rub.

Rab

Rab is our young Clydesdale horse. He loves it when people bring him carrots or apples for a treat. He’s a big gentle giant that enjoys being brushed and going for walks around the farm. His favourite friend is Rambo, the Badger Face Welsh Mountain Sheep.

Brenda

Brenda, our beautiful Border Collie, keeps the farm safe by letting us know when there are new people around and enjoys going out to feed the animals every day. She barks at first but once she knows you, she will settle down and be happy to play.

Jasper

Jasper, our farm cat, enjoys playing with his dog sisters and has the important job of keeping any mice or rats away from the houses and farm buildings. He’s a little bit nosy and very affectionate so don’t be surprised if he visits your cottage or rubs up against your legs.
