What guests say: “A really beautiful and unforgettable experience! Jaq and Simon have carved out a gorgeous space in an incredible woodland, and they provided everything you need to make the most of it. They were so generous and helped with every detail. Our two young kids absolutely adored it and have talked about missing the hot tub, the camper van, and the woods since we left. We’ll be back soon!”

Really chilled experience, and a great night’s sleep in our bell tent; it rained heavily but did not affect us. Friendly staff on hand, great facilities which were clean and well maintained. Anyone who considers booking a stay at Home Farm should. I feel more relaxed after a night there than after several nights in a hotel.”
