The cottages and log cabin lie at the heart of our 450 acre family farm and we aim to create a home from home for our guests. Whilst staying with us you will be able to experience life on a working farm, walk the tracks and footpaths passing through our fields and fish in our private lakes, which are stocked with Carp, Tench, Roach and Perch. We also provide a large play area for children to enjoy themselves within view of the cottages. All of our properties offer free wireless internet access allowing all of our visitors to keep in touch with friends and family at no extra cost.
The thriving village of Long Buckby is 2 miles away and offers a large range of services including a bank, 2 supermarkets, a family run butchers shop, chemist and a gift shop selling locally produced crafts. There is also a mainline railway station with hourly direct services to London and Birmingham. We are only 10 miles from Northampton and 15 minutes from the M1 and M6, offering easy access to the Midlands and putting all of its charm and history within easy reach.
Larkrise is our exciting new development offering a unique
visitor experience. It is a timber built Scandinavian log cabin which has three
bedrooms and sleeps up to 6 people. It is set in the farm's orchard and has been
built with a heavy emphasis on ecologically sound building principles. The cabin
has it's own garden complete with apple and pear trees, a herb nursery for
guests to use for cooking and an enclosed play area making it ideal for families
wishing to have friends and relatives visit during their stay.
The large open plan living and dining area has a high vaulted ceiling and double
doors which lead out onto the covered veranda. The living room is equipped with
a Freesat high definition TV, Blu Ray player and CD player so if you or your
children wish to bring your favourite films or CD's with you, you are welcome to.
The master bedroom of Larkrise has a double bed with it's own en-suite shower
room, we can also provide a cot if you are bringing a baby with you. The other
two bedrooms are set up as twin rooms and have lovely views over open fields.
These bedrooms share the main shower room which has level access into the shower
for visitors with limited mobility. The kitchen has been equipped with
everything you could wish for during your stay and includes a gas hob with an
electric oven. We have also added free wireless internet access to the cabin.
Larkrise is heated by a state of the art air source heat pump which combined
with a heat recovery system provides full heating in the winter and air
conditioning in the summer throughout the cabin, providing you with a very cosy
stay. We have been amazed by the ability of this system which combined with the
exceptional levels of insulation have helped contribute to our "excellent"
rating for new buildings.
Outside Larkrise there is an outdoor barbecue and ample parking for you and any
visitors you may have whilst staying with us. Our minimum stay is 3 nights and
booking weeks normally run from Saturday to Saturday but if your arrival or
departure falls on a different day we will do our best to accommodate you. The
cabin is available from 4pm on the day of arrival and we ask that you vacate by
10am on the day of departure.
The Granary is a two bedroom cottage sleeping five. It
provides two storey accommodation and was converted, as the name suggests, from
the original farm granary. It is a beautiful cottage with original exposed beams
and sandstone walls two feet thick!
The en-suite master bedroom has a double bed and the second bedroom has three
full sized single beds, two of which are set up as bunks. Downstairs there is a
large separate wet room providing level access for ease of entry. The cottage has
a fully equipped kitchen and oil fired central heating along with a large lounge
and dining area. There is a patio at the rear of the property, which is perfect
for enjoying a glass of wine in the evening or having a barbecue on warm summer
days. A cot is provided for parents with young children along with a high chair
and stair gate. A sofa bed can also be arranged in the living room to provide
temporary overnight facilities for friends or family.
Parking is provided for two cars but if you wish to have friends and family to
visit whilst staying with us we can provide ample additional parking. The
childrens play area at the front of the cottage provides plenty of room for
football and cricket matches and we have several farm walks offering beautiful
views and a chance to see what is happening on the rest of the farm.
Our all inclusive price includes heating, lighting, linen and towels and we
provide wireless internet access to the cottage. There is no extra charge for

nights and we run our booking weeks from Saturday to Saturday, but if your

However, if you wish to leave bags etc at the farmhouse before this time you can
do. We ask that the cottage is vacated by 10am on the day of your departure so
that we have time to prepare it for our next guests.
The Coach House is a cosy single storey cottage sleeping five
people in two bedrooms. Like The Granary this cottage is a barn conversion and
was once used to house the coach and carts on the farm. The single storey layout
of this cottage makes it ideal for families with young children and people with
limited mobility.
The living room of The Coach House has a high vaulted ceiling with exposed
beams, a large chandelier and double doors leading out on to the patio at the
front of the cottage. In addition to oil fired central heating there is a large
wood burning stove which creates a cosy feel during the winter months and we
provide as much wood as you wish to use whilst staying with us. The en-suite
master bedroom has a double bed and features exposed sandstone walls. The second
bedroom has three full sized single beds (not set up as bunks) and an en-suite
wet room. For parents with young children we also provide a traditional wooden
cot and highchair. The patio has a built in barbecue for warm summer evenings
and seating from which to watch the animals and enjoy wonderful sunsets.
Parking is provided for two cars but if you wish to have friends and family
visit whilst staying with us we can provide ample additional parking. The
cottage overlooks the large childrens play area which is equipped with swings
and a climbing frame with slide.
There are no hidden extras, our prices include all heating (and any logs for the
wood burning stove), lighting, linen and towels and we have added wireless
internet access to the cottage. We don't charge extra for this so there are no
nasty surprises upon arrival. Our minimum let is for three nights and we run our
booking weeks from Saturday to Saturday, but if your arrival or departure date
falls on a different day we will do our best to accommodate you. The cottage is
available on the day of arrival from 4pm. However, if you wish to leave bags etc
at the farmhouse before this time you can do. We ask that the cottage is vacated
by 10am on the day of your departure so that we have time to prepare it for our
next guests.
