Darina neeson reviewed: Peg loom weaving a seat pad

"I loved every minute of this course from meeting the alpacas to the weaving of the fleece. Hayley was so welcoming and generous with her time and she explained everything well and made everything so easy to follow. The setting was fabulous, warm and cosy and the hospitality was great with homemade Welsh cakes, soup and cake in the afternoon - honestly couldn’t recommend the whole experience more…. I felt like I had been transported at weaving heaven. So much more than the amazing weaving experience."

Adele Maundrell reviewed: Peg loom weaving a seat pad

"Fantastic and a very positive experience. I came away with a seat pad that actually looks good! I have never felt so relaxed learning a new skill. The location is peaceful, well maintained and comfortable. Flapjack with white chocolate and cranberry on arrival was delicious. Lunch I chose the pumpkin soup also delicious. Hayley put me at ease as soon as I arrived and we just chatted as I learnt. Definitely recommend if you want to learn a new skill and not feel stressed. "

Smallholding Secrets responded:

"So pleased to hear you enjoyed, and thrilled that you found it relaxing as that really is our aim for the day. I hope you go on to make many more items with our own fleece. Thank you for taking the time to leave lovely feedback. "

"Sounds cliche, but simply the best, perfect food, surroundings and tuition. Plenty of different fleeces to work with, everything explained and shown, nothing rushed, hoping for weaving courses to start, could not fault 5 star plus, thank you for the excellent tuition and materials plus the homemade lunch and cakes."
