We want our guests to enjoy the peace and quiet of the farm and consider the farmhouse a sanctuary from the outside world, therefore we do not have televisions in the bedrooms. We offer free WIFI although please be aware, due to our location, the signal can be weak and not suitable for streaming video.

Yes, you are very welcome to explore the farm but please note we are a working farm with livestock so close all gates behind you. Please don't pick food from the gardens without one of our gardeners present.

A team member will be there when you are due to check in and check out. Most days there is someone on site between 9am-7pm. When there is not a team member at the farm, there is a contact number for emergencies.

Due to the planning of our events we are typically only able to accept bookings for dates within the next 3-6 months. If the date you are looking for is out of this time period and stating unavailable do check back for further updates. We are unable to accept bookings with less than 48 hours notice.

Unfortunately, as the farmhouse is a listed building with a steep wooden staircase to the bedrooms, it is not accessible for wheelchair users. This applies to both The Farmhouse and Gardener's Cottage.  There is also a steep, uneven track that leads down to the main farm, from our car park. If you have any accessibility requirements, please call our team to discuss.

You can find a list of local taxi companies HERE. We recommend booking taxis in advance as they can get booked up quite quickly.

If you’re unable to stay with us at River Cottage HQ, you can stay with one of our other lovely nearby accommodation providers, you can find them HERE
