Arma Ratsatalu

This farm is beautifully located on the seaside in the middle of a national park. A car is recommended/needed to reach the location and move around. We slept alone in a magnificent wooden guest house which has 6 rooms with shared services in the upper level; lounge, electric sauna and kitchen are on the ground floor. It is basic but very clean and the hosts are gracious. The breakfast offered is excellent and the portions are enormous; the 7-grain porridge, cured meat, smoked fish (all farmed locally) were notable. The pastures of the horses surround on 3 sides the guest house and it was beautiful to wake up (alas, at first light; as common in northern Europe there are no blinds) with their magnificent figures silhouetted against the forest encircling us. Of the many activities on offer we took the farm tour because it was the most suitable for our 3-year old daughter. She enjoyed the pony ride and feeding the rabbits and was absolutely entranced by the horses themselves. Prices are very reasonable and we were offered as discount as the farm visit was somewhat foreshortened because of ongoing farm work. One night and one breakfast for two adults and one child, with farm visit of approximately one hour and pony ride of ten minutes cost us 40 euros, whic makes is very good value I hope to come back soon.
