New for 2024 – The Woodland Sanctuary

The Woodland Sanctuary is truly a magical space to exchange your vows in. It is located at the very beginning of the woodland walk, a very short walking distance from cottages. It has been designed with a level access and is wheelchair and pram friendly. The Sanctuary is encased by the river with a large oak arbour at one end and the entire sanctuary sits under a canopy of mature trees. Around the outskirts and pathways through out the Sanctuary the ground hosts a variety of wild woodland flowers, ferns, wild garlic and bluebells.

Brochures are available on request and appointments can be booked though the contact us page. We highly recommend arranging a tour of the grounds and facilities to see what we can offer and tailor make a day for you.

Family birthday weekend - Fantastic place to stay. Beautiful views, gorgeous spacious cottages and very modern and clean. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Absolutely perfect. Very well equipped with everything you need. Would definitely recommend.

Sarah, Cardiff

My family has stayed here many times including two visits this year. The cottages are very nice and have everything you need. They are user friendly and you don't feel continuous panic if you have young children there! The grounds and setting are completely stunning. My family and I lay in the garden outside our cottage and listened to the sound of the birds wings whirring through the air as they sped around the buildings. We are talking seriously peaceful!

Craig, London

I organised this get away for my husbands 40th with our family and friends. What a wonderful weekend we all had! The farm is a kiddies paradise. They just loved the freedom with lots to do. This always makes a parents break away heaven. The cottages are clean and comfy - a home from home. Beaches are nice and close too. We will be back.

Janine, Surrey

Great family fun - We had a great family trip with 14 of us sharing three adjacent cottages to celebrate a family birthday. Whilst we were only there for two nights, the facilities on site were great and kept the three children entertained and busy.
