Over the coming years, we're gradually transforming parts of the land into wildlife-friendly meadows, peaceful outdoor spaces and natural habitats for birds, bees and other wildlife. As the farm develops, we'll also be introducing Roots & Restore – a collection of nature-based wellness experiences designed to help guests slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. These experiences will be available to book separately, giving returning guests even more ways to enjoy Hagg Hill Farm in the future. Other things to note 🌿 Life at Hagg Hill Farm Hagg Hill Farm is our home, and during your stay you may spot Sarah out mowing, strimming, planting, pruning or simply looking after the land. Caring for several acres is a year-round job, and there's rarely a day when there's nothing to do! The farm is gradually moving away from perfectly manicured lawns towards a more natural, wildlife-friendly landscape. Our long-term vision is to create wildflower meadows, encourage native planting and provide habitats for birds, bees and other wildlife while creating beautiful spaces for guests to enjoy. As with any countryside property, you may occasionally hear lawn mowers, strimmers, chainsaws or other maintenance equipment, particularly during the growing season. Wherever possible, noisy work is avoided before 9:00 am, but these are all part of the natural rhythm of caring for the land. Thank you for supporting a small independent business and being part of Hagg Hill Farm's journey.
