The Finer Details...

The Milking Parlour is a beautiful conversion that sleeps 6+1 (pull-out bed can accommodate a child only), featuring an enclosed private garden with stunning view across the valley and a sheltered hot tub. This property's garden adjoins it's neighbour, The Cow Shed so larger bookings can rent both spaces with access into either garden via a gate; this gives families/gatherings the freedom to move between gardens and double the opportunity for a bubble in the tub! The Parlour can accommodate up to 6 (+1) with 2 of the 3 rooms offering either king-size or single beds, depending on the requirements of your guests. We can also host up to 2 furry friends on request. Entering the property after parking in your private bays you'll find the main entrance; on your left the cosy living space with a log burner and access into the garden (and that all important sheltered hot tub), and on your right the spacious kitchen/diner. The entire property enjoys excellent insulation and underfloor heating, keeping those toes toasty regardless of the cold outside. Our sheltered hot tub seats 6 and faces out over the valley where stunning views of the sunset can be enjoyed whilst soaking up the bubbles. The garden is fully fenced which is perfect for children and pooches to enjoy. All bedrooms are located upstairs; a large king size room with ample storage and two additional king sized rooms, one with it's own shower en-suite. The en-suite and our smaller, cosier room offer the option of king/single beds, just let us know what configuration you'd like when booking. We can also accommodate an additional guest (child) on a comfortable pull out bed in the master bedroom.

Our Farm

Hello and welcome to Shady Hall Farm! We (the owners Allan and Karen) live on site and love to share our little slice of rural paradise with our guests.

We have a 75 acre site where Allan grew up; helping with milking the cows on his father's farm.

We returned to Shady Hall to restore and live in the farmhouse, slowly renovating the surrounding buildings which were originally used for milking etc.

We now share our farm with 3 self-catering barns and are proudly participating in the Countryside Stewardship Scheme; helping to protect and improve our local environment.

Although you won't find the usual farmyard animals here at Shady (bar grazing sheep in the colder months), you will see a wealth of wonderful countryside critters such as rabbits, hares, owls, foxes, badgers, butterflies, bees, bats, birds of all sizes, and even, on occasion, wild deer!

Your stay

  • Follow the Countryside Code

  • Bring wellies/reliably waterproof boots (it gets MUDDY!)

  • Use the marked footpaths and remember if in doubt, ask! We are always happy to give directions.

  • Do not climb over gates/fences 

  • We have some fields we are happy for you to use at your leisure, please check in the house manual before/during your stay for directions

  • Always clean up after yourselves and aim to leave the natural environment the same as you found it

  • Never leave rubbish outside the properties as this attracts wildlife 

  • Keep dogs under close control

  • Please supervise children at all times and do not allow them to wander in the farmyard/climb on machinery

  • Respect your neighbours by observing our quiet hours (10:30pm-7:00am) The site is shared with the owners and other guests in close proximity and sound travels.

  • Drones, fireworks, paper lanterns, confetti/glitter, candles are NOT permitted at any time either inside or outside the properties.
