The Old Granary is a stunning converted barn set in a peaceful countryside location, this detached barn is 3/4 mile from Church Farm along a country lane. It has its own private driveway with plenty of parking. The property has a well equipped country style kitchen with an Aga, a dishwasher and a large american style fridge freezer with an ice maker and iced water dispenser, comfortable living room and dining hall to seat all residents. There is one twin room downstairs and two triple rooms upstairs. 

There are two double bedrooms upstairs, one with an en-suite bathroom. There is a shared bathroom upstairs with a bath and shower above. A second downstairs toilet is available near the lobby of the house. This property is perfect for a family get-together who would like to explore the nearby area and its many attractions. It would also make an ideal base for a Hen Party to enjoy the activities in the nearby countryside as well as the vibrant, cultural and beautiful city of Bath. 

Short breaks, weekly lets or longer stays welcomes. Special/late availability offers also available.

Farmcraft (at Church Farm Country Cottages) now offers outdoor workshops on the farm or in the surrounding woodland. These are for families/friends/groups to gain an insight into what life is like on a working sheep farm, and also an introduction in basic bushcraft and survival skills. Having been brought up and raised on a farm, I now wish to share some of her experiences of farm/outdoor life with others.

A ‘Farm Workshop’ is time spent on the farm (with Becky) learning about some of the day-to-day jobs/chores. This could be from feeding sheep, weighing lambs for market, sheep herding, a Farm tour to a neighbouring farm with other farm animals and finishing up with some Farm Olympics.

I also offer sessions in basic bushcraft and survival skills. Activities include fire lighting, den building, basic foraging and making creative artefacts using natural resources (jewellery/bows and arrows/colour dyes etc). This again is great fun, and the adults will get into it just as much as the children

These sessions are suitable for all ages from 3 years upwards. I always adapt them so that activities match the age group. A parent/guardian must always be present during these sessions.

Booking and payment is taken in advance. The price for a family of 4 is £45.00 (-/+ £10 for additional people). Contact Becky (farmcraft2018@gmail.com) for more details.
