Groceries can be delivered to your cottage, just shop online at the supermarket and have them deliver to your cottage after 4pm on your day of arrival. Tesco and Sainsbury are nearby. Farringtons Farm Shop, which sells locally produced organic food is only four miles from your cottage and provides a wonderful showcase of locally produced food with additional shops and a petting farm for children.
There is a garden area to the rear of each property (apart from Barleycorn) from where you can admire the views and relax. Wooden garden chairs and a table are provided.
The Piggery in the courtyard houses the laundry, sink, washing machine, tumble dryer and clothes airer. Guests have use of the iron and ironing board in The Piggery. There is no charge for the use of these facilities. Guests have the use of additional fridge/freezer space in The Piggery. The rental charge also includes the cost of 100% cotton bed linen together with a large bath towel and a small hand towel per person.
We have a high chair, bed guard, stair gate or travel cot which guests are welcome to use. These should be booked in advance to ensure they are available. There is no charge but guests are asked to bring their own bed linen for the cot.
There is ample parking for vehicles in the courtyard, adjacent to the front and rear of the cottages.
It is possible to enjoy the events of the farming calendar as the work goes on around the farm. However for those who wish to relax in the peace of the countryside, rest assured that you will not be disturbed, as most of the heavy work takes place at a different location.
There is a no smoking policy in all the cottages. However it is possible to smoke outside the building provided cigarettes are safely extinguished. Unfortunately we are unable to welcome dogs. We do not allow the use of candles inside any of the properties and this includes tealights.
