Magdalen Farm, Chard, Somerset

Magdalen Farm, Chard, Somerset, sleeps from 6-36. We have two choices of accommodation at Magdalen Farm.

The Courtyard Centre can sleep up to 36 and Magdalen Farmhouse can sleep up to 17. Please note the maximum group size for any self-catered booking is for 36 guests.

Set in the heart of our working organic farm is the Magdalen Courtyard Centre that can accommodate up to 36 people. The centre was converted from old farm buildings around a landscaped courtyard and provides a large dining room, commercial kitchens and additional function room with 8 bedrooms offering a variety of adult-sized bunk beds.

Rebuilt in the 1890’s as the main residence for the farm, Magdalen Farmhouse retains all the old features including Rayburn in the kitchen, wood burner in the lounge, and extensive gardens outside. 6 large bedrooms provide accommodation for 17 people with a large fully equipped farmhouse kitchen, and sitting room with comfortable seating around the wood burner. The house is centrally heated with wood available for the fires. The farmhouse is set around mature gardens with a sunny south facing courtyard and grassed spaces for games (please note that there is a duck pond to one side of the house).

On site we also have a wooden climbing frame with zip wire - this may be used at your own risk and must be overseen by a responsible adult.

The farm is ideally located for touring the south west with access to many footpaths and cycle routes across the stunning countryside. Guests are welcome to wander around our farm and visit our farm animals and kitchen gardens.

The coastal town of Lyme Regis is a 15 minute drive from the farm and opens out onto the dramatic Jurassic Coast with fossil hunting at Charmouth a short drive further.

Within a short distance of the farm is the fabulous house, gardens and grounds of Forde Abbey. The local market towns of Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster and Bridport are all within a short driving distance all with good facilities including supermarkets, leisure facilities and the unique West Country Farmers Markets.

Sorry no stag/hen parties and all groups must adhere to our noise after midnight policy.
