rear of cottage

Rear of cottage:

At the rear of the cottage, the french windows open out onto a patio area with table and chairs for guests' use and a variety of potted plants. The steeply raised bank at the rear of the cottage leads to the paddock which is currently home to our goats.

   

View to Cannock Chase:

This is an image of one of the two sets of steps leading up to the rear of the cottage with Cannock Chase adjacent. It provides access to the paddock where the goats live.

If you are lucky you may see deer in the garden. This one wandered in during daylight in January just after a heavy snow fall.

Front of Cottage:

Another view of the front of the cottage, showing Cannock Chase behind. There is ample secure parking either to the left of the cottage or in front of it. The front of the cottage is clad in natural cedar wood with mahogany windows. Where possible natural environmentally friendly materials have been used in the construction of the cottage.

This is a more recent picture of our goats in the raised paddock at the back of the cottage.

Some of our hens in their large enclosure. They are fed on organic seed and scraps from our kitchen, plus they spend most of their day digging up worms and roots etc from their pen. We have delicious natural eggs from them. Children enjoy helping us collect the eggs.

 

Sorry - the fox has helped him/herself to these...........

 

More will arrive soon.

Amber - born 25th October 2009 - has been with us since 20th December 2009 and is currently 3rd in the pecking order, although she likes to think she's top dog! She play fights all day with Jovi. This was a picture taken on 16th August 2010 - now a feisty "teenager"! Just look at the mischief in those eyes..........
