Did a shirt break at The Lamb, which is the smaller of the two attached cottages on the track up to the farm. The facilities are good and the hot tub tucked around the back of the cottage was a great bonus. It has a large garden and a gate to access the garden of the adjoined cottage which would be handy if you stayed as a larger group and needed the accommodation provided by both.

We had the most wonderful stay at the tree tent! Pippa was ever so accommodating and helped my boyfriend (now fiancee) to set up the perfect proposal! From the moment your drive through the gates you will be in awe from the beauty and sense of tranquility. The tree tent was a great place to stay and we would highly recommend it. The kitchen is fully equipped, the shower is a great experience and the fire is perfect - don't forget marshmallows! You also get a great view of the sunset from the field just outside the tree tent. We could not fault it. We had everything we needed and more. We ate

What a lovely find! Tucked away down a long farm drive, with amazing views over the valleys (and Worthy Farm for the Glastonbury fans! ). Pippa was the perfect host, and the Lamb cottage was fabulous. Amazing pool, that we used every day, and our own hot tub was a real luxury! Hopefully return some day to try the safari tent

What an amazing venue for our wedding! The view from the fields is stunning, and was a big talking point with all my guests, the cottages were gorgeous and a great place to spend time before and after the wedding with our family and close friends. Our younger relatives loved the pool, and my friends staying in the safari tent were very pleased! Pippa was really helpful, and easy to get in contact with. The fields were very large and meant we could have three marquees, tag archery, morris dancers, parking, campers, not to mention the lovely yurts Pennard supply, all with room to spare. Would highly
