Morel Farm Bakehouse

It’s simply lovely, especially if you like old buildings with a touch of quirk – the original bread oven just inside the front door and the pig sties, perfectly restored, outside. It’s a very cosy space but also quite spacious, with a sitting room downstairs warmed by a wood-burner and with a dining area underneath the window. Upstairs is the sweet bedroom and an en suite bathroom, nicely done with clever lighting.

The kitchen is fully equipped for proper cooking – no microwave – and the tiles are decorated with little goats and other farm animals. Outside you’ll find the walled garden which you’re welcome to sit in with a book, or take a picnic to among the wildflowers and tall grasses. You also have your own little seating area at the back of the cottage overlooking fields.

Visit the barn with the original pressoir in it: the large stone was hauled around by a donkey as the space was too small for a horse. Living history.
