The Tudor Barn
A magnificent 16th century barn sleeps up to 24+ in a one-group booking
Magnificent but not stiflingly posh … so said a previous guest. The Tudor Barn with adjoining cartlodge provides large group, farm stay self-catering accommodation - space to be together and space to be apart. It is huge - a flexible, space for gathering peacefully, celebrating, feasting, dancing, playing games around the woodburner in winter and in summer barbecuing, playing tennis or croquet in the herb garden, or borrowing our 45 bikes to explore the area.

Feasting & gatherings
The large well-equipped kitchen has 21st century facilities - and we’ll unpack your supermarket delivery, give you tips on the best local food and drink and if you’d rather not cook yourselves, we’ll put you in touch with a local chef.
Feast in the barn at oak banquet tables for 14-50 guests. On summer evenings, enjoy the barbecue and croquet in the herb garden with picnic tables. By arrangement invite more guests for a special gathering.
Relax on comfy sofas around the woodburner in winter - or in summer, in the garden with rugs and picnic benches.
Dress up in Tudor costume
Enjoy dressing up - we have 50+ ‘Tudor’ costumes (and a dressing up chest for children) and plenty of period tableware to enjoy a Tudor evening. You can feast Tudor style off wooden platters and drink wine or ale from goblets.
Try local venison or pheasant, home-grown pork or delicious vegetarian options from our garden. We have menu suggestions for you to cook yourselves or we can recommend local chefs.
Try our Tudor quizzes and music - and dance to madrigals or songs of the tavern!
Or, do your own themed evening - Harry Potter goes down well here ...
