What does ‘a working farm’ mean to me and my holiday?

We are a working farm, which means that normal farming life will continue around the barns throughout the year. Certain times of the year are busier than others, but it usually won’t affect the enjoyment of your stay. All our windows are fitted with Stadip Silence Glass and all of the apartments are well insulated with phenolic (noise cancelling) insulation. Farm traffic does not have any visibility into any of the apartments.

Tractors and lorries will access the yard throughout the year, but on the whole we are busier during grain and potato harvest between August and October. Our grain driers may be operating all day and night during harvest which is common practice across all cereal farms. If you would like to talk to us about this before placing a booking, please don’t hesitate to call and we can explain in more detail.
