poolhouse
WELCOME PACK
A poolside retreat
The Pool House was designed as a quiet escape in the heart of the farm. Tucked away on our organic grounds, it is a light-filled, mezzanine space where you can wake up to views of the water and the trees. Whether you’re here for a wedding at the orchard or a quiet weekend away, it’s an opportunity to be fully immersed in farm life.
The house is yours to enjoy, but if you need a hand with the wood burner or have a question about the farm, we are just a call away. Lucy (main contact): 07779 282016

Quiet hours: The farm is a very peaceful place. We kindly ask that you be mindful of the neighbours and keep noise levels low in the evenings.
Pets: We are happy to host one well-behaved dog with prior approval. We ask that they’re kept off the furniture and beds, and please be aware that the garden can get quite muddy in the winter.
