The Straw Lodge
Built by the community for the community, our welcoming eco-building provides an inspiring base for guests to immerse themselves in low-impact, organic farming. We have all your catering needs covered too!
The common room boasts beautiful panoramic views out over our fields, while bunk rooms overlook the pig pens – sometimes guests are lucky enough to wake up to a new litter of piglets!
With accommodation for 30 or room hire for 50 (or a field for 150), we look forward to welcoming school groups, Scouts, Guides, wellness retreats, corporate away days, families and other organised community groups.
Why bring your group to The Straw Lodge?
We are delighted to accommodate guests to the farm, encouraging people to get immersed in nature and enjoy our wonderful landscape.
