A couple of very friendly Pine Martens come and visit their guests most nights looking for their favourite treat of bread and jam or honey (they love anything sweet).

As you can see by these pictures they also quite like getting their photographs taken! They have become very used to people on the site and one even ate cornflakes from a guests hands, they look very cute but have very sharp teeth.
