About Us

Our names are Wendy & Roger Bolter and we would like to welcome you to Sheepleys. We will do all we can to make your stay both relaxing, enjoyable, and memorable!

Although the house looks like a fairly traditional farmhouse, it was in fact only built about 30 years ago. It was part of Sheepleys Farm until August 2001, when we bought it together with the stable block and paddocks.

We have quite a menagerie here! The dogs (Italian Spinone) are called Rossi and Pia, and the fluffy ginger cat you might see skulking around is called Simba. We also have two "Part Time" cats, Jamie and Elliott who divide their time between us and the farm.

There are various sizes of Goldfish, Koi Carp and Tench in the pond, and the birds in the aviary seem to be multiplying all the time - at present we have Diamond Doves, Cockatiels, Finches, Java Sparrows, Pekin Robins and Quail.

Our three horses, Megan and Ronnie and Obi munch the grass in the paddock with our "flock" of five sheep! Three are very fat Exmoor Horns and are called 'Sixer', 'Spot' and' Minty'. We also have a black faced Suffolk called 'Nelson' as he has only one eye, and a small black Welsh Mountain sheep called 'Golly'!

In the morning you may be awoken by a strange noise. Don't worry - It's merely our two donkeys, Sugar and Spice, getting impatient for their breakfast!

Lastly, we also have Nine chickens, so the eggs you have for breakfast might well have been laid the day before by one of our 'girlies'!
