The Farm
Stibb Hollow Farm is a small holding of around 5 acres. It is a combination of gardens, open field and a couple of small strips of woodland. The large cabin garden is enclosed and secured with a mix of stock fencing and post and rail. It also offers access to your very own, private use, dog walking field.
We have sheep, sometimes lambs, two dogs and two cats. Lambing happens anytime from February to April and its lovely to see the lambs running around in the field. The sheep field is right next to the cabin garden so you can get up close to them. They are pretty friendly and will often come and have a nose at the fence. Both the dogs, Buster and Nelly love a game of football and have been known to spend hours outside playing with visitors or just hanging around waiting for the BBQ to get going. Biscuit the ginger cat and Kit Kat the tortoiseshell, both like to wander around the cabin looking for an ear scratch.
The old lambing shed next to the cabin garden has some extra chairs and offers storage for your bikes. Our small strip of woodland is located just off the farm track, which runs up to the property from the road and has a rope swing and a wooden bench for you to use.
Absolutely amazing - blissful setting and a cosy cabin with an outdoor fire to cook over and talk around with a glass of wine, wood fired hot tub, delightful animals (especially the chickens, Biscuit the cat and Nelly the puppy!) and amazing views for stargazing at night. The hosts were nice but unobtrusive, giving us extra duck eggs (yum!) and making themselves available without us feeling pressured at all. Having no TV was a lovely change, as it gave us a chance to play board games, chat around the fire and just spend time together in the beautiful surroundings. Also lots to do in the area, so it was possible to mix trips out with copious relaxation. There were lovely little touches like a cream tea in the fridge on arrival, the eggs and handmade soap, and we can’t wait to go back for more relaxation next year.

Beautiful cabin looking over the landscape and sheep. We enjoyed our morning visits from the chickens and ducks. The wood heated hot tub at night was very special. All the amenities and comforts one could wish for whilst feeling at one with nature.

As brilliant as our trip last year. Nicci and Matt really looked after us and the cabin was brilliant.
