Champions for outdoor adventures and having plenty of unplugged fun…

No matter what the time of year bring waterproofs and wellies, hopefully in the summer you won’t need them but they are essential the rest of the time! Layers are the best plan so your Kid Off Grid is never too hot or too cold. Having clothing options with long sleeves and long trousers even in hot weather is a good idea because the grass grows long here, and the nature is wild – so there are brambles, and nettles. Lastly – don’t forget a hat and sunscreen, and it’s useful to pack bite/sting cream and antihistamines too.

Our landscape is managed but not manicured, so you won’t find tarmac’d paths with handrails, or neatly mown lawns. The beauty of our place is that kids can run free for a few days, under your supervision of course – in the knowledge that tracks are uneven, slopes may be slippery, there are brambles and nettles, ponds and puddles, mud and fallen wood all of which are important habitats for wildlife and are part of our conservation work.

No, we don’t have a holiday club. We’re all about encouraging our young visitors to explore the landscape and engage with it in their own way – we promise it’ll happen, with permission to explore, the freedom fires their imaginations and they create their own games. If you need a little structure then you’ll find plenty of self-guided activity sheets in the shop for your kids to help themselves to.

If you want to venture beyond the farm then there’s plenty to do in the area from horse riding to ebike hire, paddleboarding, kayaking and sailing. We’ll send you our digital guide once you’ve booked with links to all of our nearby attractions.

Once you’ve finalised your booking we’ll send you our digital guide to download to your phone. It contains everything you need to know about your stay and includes menus. You simply email us with your order in advance of your stay and we’ll have it ready! Prices are on the guide and are payable at the end of your stay when you checkout.

You just let us know either by email before you arrive, or tell us once you’re on site and we’ll get it ready for you, the hire charge for any of the skills kits is £5, payable on site at the end of your stay.
