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 at a small charge. 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).

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.
