Luxury farmhouse accommodation at The Ridgeway Barns

Gather with family and friends. Explore the historic Ridgeway and North Wessex Downs. Self-cater or celebrate in style. Relax in the beautiful garden or snuggle up in front of a cosy fire. The Ridgeway Barns is the perfect place for gathering, celebrating, and exploring the local area and Cotswolds. The main farmhouse sleeps 12, with two further self-contained annexes available for larger groups or individual bookings.

Formerly the heart of this working farm, the farmhouse was completely renovated in 2021, upgrading the spacious property while retaining many of the original features. On the first floor you will find six luxurious bedrooms, tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard. There are three large king size en-suite rooms, a large twin, a smaller twin and lovely single room. In addition we have a pop-up bed, trundle bed (suitable up to 5 yrs old) and two travel cots available.

Downstairs there is a large farmhouse kitchen-diner extending into a conservatory, a cosy TV snug, and two formal reception rooms; perfect for dinner parties or relaxation. There are also two self-contained annexes: The Old Stables (our luxury honeymoon suite, sleeps 2), and the Pumphouse (twin/king). The various spaces allow you to gather with friends and family, or find a quiet corner to relax.

Outside the large garden and terrace benefit from stunning views over the rolling chalklands of the North Wessex Downs. Enjoy alfresco dining, cooking over the gas BBQ, or enjoy the night away roasting marshmallows around the firepit.

Please see our accommodation brochure for full details of the rooms.

Midweek stays start at £108 per night (Pumphouse), £135 per night (Old Stables). Weekend stays start at £260 for 2 nights (Pumphouse), or £325 for 2 nights (Old Stables). Discounts are available for stays of 4 nights or more.

Booking and check in

Do you have a minimum stay? We typically have a two-night minimum stay, or three nights on bank holiday weekends. One-night stays are possible in the annexes midweek. For stays of 4 nights or more we can offer a discount on the nightly price.

Can I check in/check out any day of the week? In general we try to remain flexible for your requirements. The only restricted days are no check in on a Sunday or bank holiday Mondays, or check out on a Saturday.

What time is check in & check out? Our normal check in time is 4 pm, and check out at 10 am. Check in is via a key safe ~ you will be provided with the code ahead of your stay.

Do you offer early check-in or late check out? Please speak to us if you would like an early check in or late check out ~ the more notice you give us the better. Where possible we will allow an early check in from 3 pm or a late check out to 11 am ~ but when we have back-to-back bookings this may not be possible. If you would like to arrive any earlier or depart later then additional charges apply. For weekend bookings you will often find the cost of booking Sunday night is great value, and means you can stay as long as you like on Sunday.

Each annex has a kitchenette suitable for preparing simple meals for two. Please see our accommodation brochure for further details.

Candles are permitted in the farmhouse, but we ask that you ensure they are kept within a heat resistant container such as a hurricane lantern or jar ~ please take care not to spill the wax! Unfortunately we do not allow fireworks due to the risk to the farm and animals. See our T&Cs for full details (available on request).

Can we arrange horse riding at the farm? The horses on the farm are privately owned and are not insured or licenced to provide lessons, so unfortunately we are unable to provide lessons on the farm. However, we can provide recommendations for some local riding schools who may be able to help.

Children and pets

Do you have a travel cot, highchair and children’s cutlery? Yes, we have a trundle bed (suitable for children up to 5 years old), two travel cots, two high chairs and a good selection of kids cutlery and crockery.

Do you allow pets? Up to three dogs are very welcome downstairs in the farmhouse, or one in the Pumphouse, when accompanied by well-behaved owners! Extra charges apply. Please see our T&Cs for full details (available on request).
