Hill Farm is a Farmhouse Bed and Breakfast set in the middle of our 450 acre working farm. Hill Farm is friendly and peaceful with beautiful views of the hill behind it and westerly views from the other side. We welcome all guests whether they are on holiday, business, families wanting an "escape", walkers and cyclists, in fact anyone who wants to be in the countryside. We have a flock of breeding ewes (lambing in April), a small herd of suckler cows and corn. We are in the Countryside Stewardship Scheme, an environmental scheme, which means that all the fields have "grass margins", adding to the walks which our visitors can enjoy. The farmhouse has wonderful westerly views, allowing the visitor to see the peaceful Warwickshire countryside at its best as the seasons change throughout the year; the house and garden are very much in the "country style", complete with hollyhocks around the front door! We can offer a truly restful "escape"!
We have stabling available for your horse as well from April to the end of October. We have wonderful rides around the farm, a local "trail" is also available and numerous bridleways. You may also wish to simply use the stabling before competing locally.
please ask for details!!
Hill Farm is set in the south easterly corner of Warwickshire bordering the counties of Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire, close to the village of Priors Hardwick, and is well situated for Banbury, Southam,Stratford on Avon, Daventry, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Rugby.
On your arrrival, enjoy a pot of tea and a slice of home made cake, after which you may want to explore the farm or perhaps stroll down to the towpath of the Oxford Canal: you may be lucky to see hares and skylarks as you wander.

You may of course simply wish to relax in the garden then visit one of the local Village Pubs, including the well renowned restaurant "The Butchers Arms", for your evening meal, returning for a peaceful night's sleep.

THE SHEPHERD'S HUT
("Beautifully Restored - Romantic and Different")
We recently acquired an 1800's Shepherd's Hut from the South Downs, where it has been used for more than 100 years for shepherds tending their sheep in the hills (the wheels allowed the hut to be moved with the sheep as they varied their grazing).
Why not take the opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life by staying in this delightful double accommodation and yet still enjoy the comforts offered by accommodation at Hill Farm. Your chance to really be part of the country. Click here to see more of the Shepherds Hut

The site is rented out at a fixed price which offers electricity, water and insurance. The price is based on renting the site for a week, in order to get ready and clear up afterwards.
