Nursery Rhyme Barns - Accommodation

Situated near the farmhouse, but with their own private gardens and parking, The Nursery Rhyme Barns are the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of town or city life.
The first of our barn conversions, Bo Peep Cottage opened on 30 July 2005, with our second due to be completed for the summer of 2008/9.

In order to cater for the needs of families with small children, both barns have stair gates, fire and cooker guards, cots, miniature beds, changing stations, baby monitors, night lights, baby baths and toys, highchairs and booster seats, childrens’ cutlery and age-graded books, toys, games and jigsaws. We also have further travel cots and bassinets available on request.

As both barns are specifically for the use of families with children under 11 we ask that guests agree to our no smoking policy. You are however welcome to smoke in the gardens.

Humpty Dumpty Cottage
Humpty Dumpty Cottage will be designed to sleep a family of 2 adults and up to 4 children. We are aiming to make Humpty Dumpty the ultimate in luxury and space. Its large vaulted ceilinged Master bedroom will have uninterrupted views over the countryside from its beautiful arched window, and it will have its own nursery.

There will be a family bathroom, and separate wet room, childrens’ bedroom, spacious lounge and wonderfully big kitchen diner with doors opening on to a decked garden eating area. It will also have its own private toddler-proof children’s playground, so you will be able to relax in the knowledge that your children are safe and happy. Watch this space for further details!

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