All of the jobs on the farm are carried out by Paul, his father and one farm worker, Tim.

The award-winning sheep flock at The Lee are North Country Cheviots, a hardy breed developed many generations ago in this very area. Like the Aynsley family themselves, the sheep are very much a part of the Northumbrian countryside!

We also have a herd of 210 suckler cows, who graze the open fields throughout the spring, summer and autumn months and who are housed throughout the winter.

Guests are allowed to wander wherever they wish throughout the farm - But please remember to shut the gates! And we are always happy to answer any questions you may have about the farm and farming.

During lambing time (beginning mid. March) there are always a few extra mouths to feed in the form of pet lambs, and guests are more than welcome to grab a bottle and help out!

The farm terriers are always on hand to provide amusement and there antics are often referred to as, "Better than the telly"!! And then there is Domino, the miniature pony who stands a whopping 31 inches high - despite the diminutive size, he is ALWAYS ready for treats and will make friends with you in an instant if you offer some food.

We strive to make your holiday stay with us at The Lee to be as enjoyable and memorable as we possibly can. Don't forget to take a look at what our previous guests have said about their stay in the guestbook.
