My work: Alpaca farmer/banker
Business
My wife Debbie and I run a 450 strong alpaca farm in rural Northumberland. We've lived in the North East since 2006 and used AirBnB for work and pleasure. On our farm are 6 cottages, 3 of them we have turned into holiday lets. We're house proud and the cottages combine modern living with rural charm. Feedback good and bad is very welcome! We've actioned many of the suggestions that previous guests have been kind enough to give.
