If you spot something during your stay, please share it in our 'spotters book'. The pictures around the house are all taken by us around the farm and show some of the amazing wildlife on the doorstep. You'll be able to do lots of stargazing too as there's no light pollution so lie back and enjoy the view. Our farm has recently been featured on BBC1 in 'Extraordinary Portraits', available to view on iplayer (episode 6). We're child and dog friendly (max 2 dogs) but no puppies under 1 year old please. As we're a working farm dogs must be kept under control, with no pets left inside alone at any time. You're renting the house and garden area including the pool. There is lots of car parking space in the yard at the front of the house. We ask that guests do not enter the barns as it is a working farm and the nearby red brick buildings are old or part of the farm. Guests should be aware that there will be sights and smells usually found on a farm. We're committed to being as environmentally friendly as possible. The pool and house are heated with renewable energy. On our farm we've planted over 10,000 trees, in addition to a native species orchard and a butterfly wood. Next year we hope to be part of a solar project locally which would see a renewable energy installation at the farm powering lots of homes, doing our bit to help the UK to address climate change. It is possible to rent this property alongside our other holiday property 'The Deer Den', which shares the private lane though is several hundred metres away from The Grange (sleeps 8, also on Airbnb). Please request a high chair or travel cot when booking if you need one. As we're a working farm and you'll be responsible for making fires, we ask that all guests sign a disclaimer before they come. We'll provide you with plenty of logs and kindling for your stay. No stag or hen parties please. Guest access There's plenty of parking in the large parking area in front of the house.
