Description from owner
Description
The Old Brooder with lovingly restored Shepherd's Hut provides comfortable, simple and good value, stylish farm stay accommodation in five bedrooms for up to 22 guests. There are two private bedrooms (sleeping 2 in each), a restored Shepherd's Hut (sleeping 2), and two large bedrooms (sleeping 8 in each). The kitchen is well equipped to enable you to cook a feast and sit together at two long tables (or on the terrace at pub tables with a BBQ in the summer), and you can relax in the cosy upstairs sitting room on comfy sofas. Furnishings are quirky and definitely different - a mix of conventional beds and joiner-made oak bunk beds with thick comfortable mattresses, church pews for kitchen seats, local elm table and benches, maps and artwork on the walls, Moroccan goatskin lamps, Mexican wall tiles and Spanish floor tiles, 200 year old stained glass in the upstairs loo. It is centrally heated throughout. And we provide adult road bikes for guests aged over 16, with table tennis, table football, croquet and games for the garden..

Response from the owner So glad you had such a happy hen weekend and the very different wine-tasting in the woods was a success (it is gorgeous up there), brunch on the sunny terrace and cycling to the local pub.
