Sympathetically converted to incorporate features of the traditional agricultural buildings, each barn is set up with a cosy, communal feel to reflect how we live and work here on the farm. With individual style, much of what you see is handmade, reclaimed or an original feature of the farm, making the whole experience unique.

In the Brick Barn and Long Barn we retained the sense of space by keeping the living area to full height, so the upstairs is presented as a mezzanine. Downstairs has – as is traditional – a soft brick floor, though with underfloor heating and a cosy living space (sofa beds included) around the wood burner. Upstairs flooring is laid with recycled oak floor boards with underfloor heating. Both have ladders up to kids sleeping lofts.

The Grain Loft, Hay Loft and Old Stables: each barn has a double room, a twin/double, and 4 bunk style beds that have been designed with youngsters in mind. Attention to detail is perhaps best illustrated by the shutters; handmade by family, they fit beautifully, look good and work well. Bedside tables are blocks of Douglas Fir from the New Forest, more usually used for propping up yachts in the local boat yards. Bathroom mirrors are recycled crittle windows from the wartime airfield on Beaulieu Heath. Their sills were part of an old sunken barge found emerging from the Solent mudflat! Old Stables is accessible.

Guests have free rein of the property: collect eggs, harvest fruit and veg from the orchard and tunnels, feed the lambs - plenty to get involved with! Outside of winter the lambing barn can be set up for group dining. The barns have a large shared garden, great for outdoor games and activities, also multiple outdoor seating areas set up with big tables, benches and barbecues. Fully equipped with facilities: laundry, games room, extra loo and shower block, this is a great base for groups and families.

Warborne is the perfect base for exploring the New Forest and Solent, just 5 minutes from each. Also a short bike ride/drive into Lymington town.
