Self catering - Nursery Rhyme Barns

Four years ago we began restoring our 17th century listed barns to provide self catering facilities with a twist! Designed specifically for families with young children, Bo Peep Cottage opened its front door to welcome guests on 30 July 2005, and we are hoping to finish Humpty Dumpty Cottage ready for Easter of 2009.

If you have small children, but prefer total independence and privacy when on holiday, then the Nursery Rhyme Barns are for you. If you just fancy more space with your own exclusive play area, deck and barbeque, but don’t fancy cooking all the time, then Bo Peep is also for you! And if you want to bring grandparents, Bo Peep is the perfect holiday too, as they will have their own ensuite facilities upstairs, with your family accommodation on the ground floor.

All the specialist baby equipment and facilities you could ever need are provided, at no extra charge. This means you can travel light, not arrive totally exhausted, and collapse and unwind, while your children discover all the wonderful new toys they can play with in the week ahead! Your toddler-proof private garden with its deck, outdoor furniture, barbecue and children’s play equipment means you can relax outside too and sit back and enjoy the tranquillity of the countryside.

If you’re feeling lazy, you can order nursery teas for your children, and later when they’re tucked up in bed, we can deliver a meal for you to relax and enjoy, outside under the stars, or at your kitchen table.

In the mornings you can join in with animal feeding and explore our play areas. If you have older children, they can help put the animals to bed and give our orphan lambs a bedtime bottle in the Spring.

Don’t worry about housework, a daily chambermaiding service is included in the price of your holiday, and for a little extra we will even do your washing and ironing too.

All of Higher Lank Farm is NO SMOKING and so child friendly
