The Farmhouse

The Farmhouse

This beautiful, refurbished farmhouse is designed to be a peaceful sanctuary nestled in nature at 42 Acres – one of the UK’s leading wellbeing retreat centres, and home to pioneering rewilding and permaculture projects.

Farmhouse is light, spacious and arranged over 3 floors.

The entrance is surrounded by beautifully-kept ornamental gardens, many of the plants in which are edible. These gardens merge into rewilded meadows which in turn give way to the Mendip hills on the horizon – giving beautiful, far-reaching views.

Your outdoor dining space gives way to the lawn which is home to our signature twin ancient oaks. Beneath them a circle of tree stump stools – a spot that feels grounding and healing.

You enter into a boot room complete with ample coat racks and wellies of many sizes – please feel free to borrow any pair that fits – you shall go to the ball!

The boot room gives onto a large, open plan, double-aspect kitchen / dining room. We have been known to seat 30+ people comfortably for dinner in here. The fixtures and fittings are high quality, the views are beautiful, there is an open fire, and the whole space is designed to be sociable.

Off the dining room is the parlour which features a central table, a coffee machine, a good supply of ethical teas, a mini-fridge, and a downstairs loo. French doors give far-reaching views over our rewilded meadows. These open onto a patio with outdoor dining tables.

Next is a large, triple-aspect group room with huge glass doors, beautiful views, a tiny library and a real fire.  This whole space is designed to give a sense of reconnection to the nature surrounding it. It is peaceful and calming.

The first floor features 4 bedrooms and 3 modern bathrooms:
– 1 triple aspect superking room with ensuite bathroom with beautiful freestanding rolltop bath
– 1 double with ensuite shower room
– 1 king and 1 king/twin with shared Jack ‘n’ Jill ensuite

The second floor features a luxe triple dorm room in the eaves and a separate bathroom.

If you require more space, The Farmhouse is connected to a beautiful 4-bedroom annex – ‘Rettig.’ We do not allow pets at The Farmhouse but we welcome up to 2 well-behaved dogs at Rettig (and at Library Barn & Deer Cottage).

There are 6 separate spaces available on our 173 acres of land. Please take a look at our other listings or get in touch for more details.

For more info, please see the floorplans – they are in the listing photos.

Essentials are provided (eco-friendly toiletries, towels, toilet paper, bed sheets, hairdryer).

1 of the 5 bedrooms in the Farmhouse can be configured either as a King or a Twin. If you would like this set up as a twin, please request this in the booking notes at time of booking. As standard, this room is configured as a King.
