Inside the cottages

Each cottage sleeps four people in two bedrooms and has a kitchen-diner, sitting room, bathroom and separate WC. There are wooden and tiled floors throughout with underfloor heating. French doors lead out from the kitchen and sitting-room into the secure, private gardens.

The kitchen-diner has been well equipped to make your self-catering stay as comfortable as possible including a dishwasher, microwave and washing machine, as well as a good range of cooking equipment. Plastic crockery, cutlery and high-chairs available for young children.

Each cottage has two bedrooms, one king-size/twin and one twin. A travel cot or bedguard is available on request. All linen is 100% cotton.

The bathrooms each have a basin, toilet, bath and shower and there is also a separate WC and basin. Towels are provided.

The sitting rooms are equipped with a flat-screen television and DVD player (bring your own DVDs), alongside bluetooth speakers. Each sitting room has a log burner to make them extra cosy in the colder weather.  There is also a variety of books and games for adults and children.

Wi-fi is available throughout via a 4G network and now has a good speed for the rural location. 

The sitting rooms are extremely light with French windows leading onto the gardens.

You can find more detailed information and floor plans for the cottages on our full cottages information sheet. 

Outside the cottages

Both cottages have a fully fenced, private garden with patio, lawn and flower beds. Wooden patio furniture and BBQs are provided and outdoor toys for children under 5 are available on request. At the end of the gardens, there  is a bicycle storage shed with a freezer.

Guests are welcome to explore the surrounding 14 acres of meadow with river frontage and we can provide you with details of walks from the farm as well as further afield.

For most of the year, horses or cows graze on one of the meadows. There are also chickens on North Farm – do ask if you would like to meet them or get a chance to feed them.

There are two artists who work on site – please see the Artists at North Farm page for further details.

On your arrival, we will give you more information about the farm as well as showing you the areas that it is safe to explore with young children.

We are dog-friendly and one well-behaved dog is allowed in Barn Owl cottage - more details are below.

Kids at North Farm 

North Farm is a great place for kids to come on holiday. Children can play safely in the enclosed gardens and there is lots to see and so around the farm including chickens, barn owls, cows and calves for some of the year and artists at work.

As you will see from our reviews, the cottages and gardens are set-up to make your holiday as fun and easy as possible for the kids whilst also providing a luxurious holiday for the adults too.

Children are really welcome to help feed the  chickens and explore the farm. Maps are provided in the cottages showing the farm boundaries and explaining where is safe to explore.

To make travelling easier for you, we can provide lots of equipment for your children free of charge. You can view a list of all the items available here.

Dogs at North Farm

We are really pleased to welcome dogs to North Farm, either to stay at Barn Owl cottage or in the Shepherds Hut. Dogs love to explore the meadow and there are lots of walks that lead directly from the farm.

We accept one well-behaved dog per stay and ask our guests to agree to our Dog Contract to preserve the fabric of the accommodation and also for the comfort of other guests staying on the farm.

We ask guests to pay a £25 additional fee for any dog staying in Barn Owl Cottage and an additional £75 deposit returnable at the end of your stay.
