Working Farm

What does ‘Working Farm’ mean?

Real livestock, seasonal rhythms, and honest countryside noise — not a theme park. We manage stocking and grazing so guests see farm life authentically.

We booked The Peacock for our anniversary and the hot tub under the stars sealed it. Quiet fields, proper dark skies, and the breakfast hamper was unreal — still talking about the sourdough.

Authentic working farm without the tourist trap feel. We watched lambs in the next field most mornings, then retreated to the deck with coffee. Fox tent felt private even though we could see the valley.

Breakfast hamper and farm produce
Farm breakfast hamper — sourdough, eggs, and whatever the hedgerow is offering.

The Hare is smaller but every inch is considered. The reading nook was my sanctuary after muddy walks; ensuite shower pressure ten out of ten. Will return in spring for lambing.

Wood-fired tub took a little tending but worth it — steam rising while the sun dropped behind the hill. Farm breakfast alone would bring us back; the bacon tasted like it had a story.

Finally a glamping spot that feels grown-up. Linen, copper details, and nothing staged. Hosts were helpful without hovering. We left calmer than we arrived — rare for a city couple.

Peacock hut was romantic but practical — stove easy to run, hot tub water crystal clear. Kids (teens) loved the honesty shop walk and the sheep chatter at dusk. Booking again for mum’s birthday.

Fox safari tent without roughing it — king bed, proper ensuite, deck for sunrise yoga. A fox actually crossed the meadow at dawn; we nearly missed checkout staring at the mist.

Beyond the hut

The land, the table, and the rhythm of the year — everything that makes Hollowfield more than a night away.

  • 0.2 KM FROM HUT

    Beyond the hut / Hiking / Ridge trails

    Ridge walk · Yorkshire Vales

    Leave the gate and take the old ridge line north where dry-stone walls frame the valley. In clear light, the route opens to layered views across the Vales and a long quiet return through hedgerow shade.

  • 3.4 KM FROM HUT

    Beyond the hut / Dining / Village table

    The Durham Ox

    A classic post-walk stop with seasonal plates, local ales, and a dining room that feels settled and unhurried. Book early for weekend evenings, then stroll back under dark-sky lanes to the farm.

    Lambing mornings

    During lambing season, mornings begin with soft calls from the lower pasture and slow farm rounds before breakfast. Guests can watch from marked fence lines, guided by timings that keep the flock calm.

What the farm is doing right now — and what's coming next.

  • Spring

    Lambing & bluebell woods

    Lambs on the grass, carpets of bluebells, and mornings that smell like rain and soil.

    Long light, hay in the barn, and the occasional wood-fired pizza when the weather plays fair.

  • Autumn

    Harvest moon & golden trails

    Bronze bracken, hedgerow fruit, and walks that crunch underfoot all the way to the pub.

  • Winter

    Star-gazing & wood-smoke Sundays

    Quiet fields, early dark, and the stove doing the heavy lifting while you watch for Orion.
