Come and take a break away from the everyday and stay in our delightful Yurt. Situated in the picturesque cider orchard in front of the pond, the Yurt is the perfect place for a romantic, cosy, eco-escape from it all.

Staying in the Yurt is a great way to enjoy the full beauty of our organic farm and its wildlife. Close to the pond you will see frogs, fish, ducks, moorhens and our resident heron, and if you are really lucky the flash of a kingfisher. 

However, if you want to do more than simply enjoy the peace and tranquility, the surrounding area has plenty of attractions and things to do and visit.

Please contact us to check availability on 01594 860244 or EMAIL

Guest feedback

"From the minute we pulled onto the drive from the road our stay was perfect. We were greeted on the driveway by a group of wild boar ( dream come true) who were taking advantage of the fallen fruit. After slowly passing by we pulled into the parking bay for the yurt (clearly marked) and walked towards the yurt......what can I say other than WOW the yurt was very comfortably furnished ( handmade king-size bed, table and chairs, log burning fire and two other chairs ) then we looked at the kitchen area and found it more than adequately stocked with everything we needed (utensils,pots and pans, cups and glasses plus a 2 ring gas hob).

"we simply loved the place and the yurt, it was one of the most amazing and peaceful places we have ever been in England. We shall definitely come again next Summer"

  • Training in the Use & Maintenance of the Austrian Scythe

    17th August 2018 at Ragmans Lane Farm

    10.30am-5.00pm

    This one day course is designed to introduce the attendee to using and looking after an Austrian scythe. The course is suitable for a range of experience levels, from complete beginners to those who have been using a scythe but feel that it could be working better for them.

    The structure of the day will be as follows:

    • Introduction and familiarisation
    • Setting up an Austrian scythe
    • Movement and technique
    • Mowing practice
    • Sharpening in the field
    • Maintenance and peening the blade

    The scythe is a highly efficient tool and is regarded as the appropriate technology for a wide variety of situations, much wider than many would think, from meadows and reedbeds to allotments and lawns, in professional and amateur contexts. In addition to its efficiency, versatility, outstanding green credentials and the health benefits for both body and mind, the scythe is an extremely cost effective tool. Once set up with basic kit no further outlay is required, and maintenance is simple and enjoyable.

    The cost of the training is £60 per person. Most trainees prefer to purchase an Austrian scythe in advance to set up and learn on during the course. However, I have a limited number of training scythes which can be borrowed, but this must be by prior arrangement, and an additional hire cost of £20 will apply.

    I train because I'm passionate about everyone getting a good initial experience with scything. I am a follower of permaculture, and work in environmental conservation. As regional co-ordinator for the Scythe Association of Britain and Ireland, a voluntary role, I promote and encourage scything in my area of the UK. I have had the benefit of being trained and supported by some of the most highly regarded scythers in the UK scything community.
