BoerenBed New Barn Farm

A lovely technology detox weekend away in a beautiful setting. The hosts, Hannah & Will were lovely and welcoming giving us a full run down of the place and how everything works. The rooms were clean, spacious and had everything we needed for the weekend. The kids were super excited about the bunk beds and staying in the farm with no electricity. My son learned how to build a fire and became an expert at this by night 2. First night we'd pre-ordered a lamb tagine... Wowsers, this was fantastic. Compliments to Hannah for a lovely heart warming delicious meal. We also pre-ordered some breakfast pastries that were lovely. Pizza night was lovely. It became the central hub for everyone staying to get together and socialise. The quality of the produce was excellent and flavoursome. The kids really enjoyed pizza night and made friends. We rented guinea pigs too, which the kids loved and took care of for the weekend. There is lovely little honesty shop on the farm with your essentials but also some homemade treats. The kids loved the brownies. We had a lovely walk and rented the bikes to tour the local area, which was great. It's worth visiting the charity village. It has a lovely charity shop with antiques and lots of books to buy. We also stopped for some famous Riverdale Dairy ice cream, which was yummy. The farm has chickens and the kids even managed to get 2 eggs, which we poached for breakfast. There are some pigs, which we fed some scraps too as well. Overall, this was a lovely weekend away from our normal hectic and busy lives and we were able to recharge and connect over walks, log fires and board game as a family.

I have just spent a week (Monday to friday) at this wonderful farm. The owners and all the staff were lovely, attentive and friendly. The facilities are spot on and I haven't enjoyed myself so much away in a long time, relaxing, lots of things to do locally as well as walks around and about the farm, horses to cuddle, guinea pigs to cuddle in the cuddle barn, very reasonable honesty shop, bike hire and the stone baked pizza was delicious. Me and my husband took our 9 year old, who loved the space, the animals and the outdoors. The tents are well maintained and the fresh chicken eggs are to die for. Tent facilities are very good, do take a blanket in the winter but we were there just now in August 2022 so we were not cold, though it can be chilly in the morning. The Fox pub in the little village down the road is a wonderful place to eat and do take up the experience of grooming the horses and going to Bevistan Farm sheep milking (and lamb feeding and cuddles!) with Bev and Steve. All in all the experience was wonderful. Hannah and Will who own the farm are approachable, helpful and run a wonderful place. Thank you from the Yesson Family xx
