Our three cottages, and Farmhouse (sleeping 14), Orchard Cottage (sleeping 8), Barn Cottage (sleeping 6) and The Old Stables (sleeping 6) comprise tastefully converted farm buildings offering all the modern conveniences that you would expect located within the boundaries of a 650 acre working farm and benefiting from a glorious indoor heated pool and sauna. All of the cottages have been converted using natural materials, including traditional cob and oak with natural slate roofs.
