ABOUT US
We are a family driven by the principle of custodianship. We think of ourselves as custodians of this place and the farming skills passed down to us by previous generations. We strive to share these skills and our place with our guests in a way that makes both life here and these skills sustainable for the long term.
OUR IMPACT
We preserve and protect several UNESCO-designated cultural heritage sites, including stone wall building and upland sheep farming. Additionally, we use the earnings from our tourism products to support archaeological research conducted on site.
