A FARM owner was shocked when a London couple holidaying on her land in South East Cornwall asked her to remove a flock of sheep from the field �?as they were being too noisy.

Julie Tamblyn runs holiday accommodation on Botelet Farm near Herodsfoot with her brother and parents.

The farm also has two Mongolian yurts in the surrounding fields which are let out to guests, including the couple from the capital.

Julie was surprised when the man asked her to move the animals because his partner couldn't sleep.

She said: "When I go to a city I expect to hear traffic and planes, they are sounds of the city. This is where the sheep live and it is a sound of the countryside."

The 250-acre farm has been owned by the Tamblyn family for four generations.

About 100 sheep live in the field where the couple stayed, and on the farm's website it clearly states the field is grazed by sheep.

The yurts offer an alternative to traditional accommodation and are designed to give visitors a first hand taste of the countryside under canvas.
