Overview

During term times, school groups visit: some of our regulars have been coming for nearly 30 years. We are the perfect base for all ages, on a farm, but surrounded by a variety of habitats, historic places and opportunities for adventures. Our education officers work with teachers to ensure that learning needs are met, and the children love staying here.

Friends and families enjoy the benefits of staying on a farm and having lots of space for children to play and often return year after year. Self-catering is an option, and there are pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Children can sign up to animal feeding with our farmers and we can recommend great activities around the New Forest.

We cater for groups of all types at the weekends and in school holidays either on a fully catered or self-catering basis. An Italian language school comes each summer for a taste of English rural life (with a side trip to London!). University students have access to a wide range of habitats for environmental studies. Clubs find us a useful and inexpensive base for their members to pursue interests as diverse as ornithology, rambling or motor vehicles. And we regularly host Brownies and Cubs.

Companies enjoy team building activities and challenges on the river and in the woods. An Italian language school comes each summer for a taste of English rural life (with a side trip to London!).
