Weekend Trip to Laurel Bank Farm

We loved our stay here! Jo and Dave are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. On request, they can even provide you with fresh eggs, which were so good! The restrooms are brand new and very clean! Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side and we couldn’t explore the surroundings or meet their beautiful horses as much as we would have liked. Still, we absolutely recommend this place and would love to come back!
