Court Farm

For those craving self-catering solitude in a rural setting, both the ancient stone cottage and the 16th-century farmhouse suite tucked away on Court Farm are the answer. Steeped in history, then redefined with high-design, up-to-the-second styling, the cottage and suite can be booked together, or taken separately. Raucous family gathering on a farm – or remote and luxurious escape à deux… It’s up to you.
