Knapps Farm at Stratton-on-the-Fosse





We booked in to Knapps Farm on a Bed and Breakfast basis as it would have been too much to travel back to Kent after Dom Daniel's funeral. It was fantastic.
It is on the market now and the lady who runs it has always lived within a 5 mile radius of the place and she has never stayed anywhere where they needed to shut the curtains. Avril and her husband Pete want to move to Cornwall, to be near the grandchildren, but it is going to be a huge change. They have chickens, ducks, geese and cows and it is in a peaceful beautiful spot. I'd love to live there! Their B and B has a high star quality rating and well deserved it is too - the place is spotless, comfortable, friendly and with an excellent breakfast.

Avril and Peter have 5 cats, all lovely, but the most impressive is the grand 19yr old gentleman. In the last year, this geriatric 19yr old cat has caught no less than 8 rabbits. That is seriously impressive!
