The Cottage and Lodge are located on a working farm, now in the care of the third generation of our family and has been farmed by the Bentleys since 1937.
The cottage is actually the original 19th century gatehouse of the manor house located where the lodge now stands. Bricks from the manor house were used to build the current farmhouse.
The farm combines around 70 head of cattle and approximately 150 acres of arable land. Crops grown include wheat, barley, oats and oil seed rape. We would be happy to give you a guided tour of the farm.
