This is a rural household on a working beef cattle farm near Holsworthy, North Devon.
The property is a 4 bedroom detached family home with a family kitchen and living room downstairs and bedrooms and a family bathroom upstairs.
The carers are experienced foster carers having supported many young people and families including parent and child placements. They are available to offer short breaks in their family home to people who are looking for a rural yet social retreat.
