If you go down to the woods today…

A winding walk through fields and woodland, a secret spot by the old ivy-covered kennels, a table laid with a farm-sourced picnic ready when you arrive, and everything you could possibly need to while away an entire afternoon without seeing a single soul. Back just in time for dinner.

A private table in the woods is waiting this summer. Ask us all about it.

A Week on the Farm | 14 June 2026

Geraniums for custard and wood for fire pit marshmallows. Bidding the hungry gap adieu, replaced at long last by first signs of summer abundance. And potting up…always potting up. Cold showers on days so warm, a mud bath doesn’t quite cut it. Garden broth; two days in the making from pan to pass.

The Farm Table: Dinner in the Orchard | 29 July 2026

When the garden’s bounty is in full summer flow and the evenings are warm, the only sensible thing to do is set a table somewhere green and gather.

Join us for a summer evening beneath the orchard trees: a welcome drink sourced from the garden, a tour of the farm, and a long-table feast cooked over flame.

Tickets are on sale now. Come and help us eat summer.

Outside all day, grass-stained by lunch, on first name terms with the farm animals by Tuesday, asleep before eight without anyone having to ask. Fowlescombe in the summer holidays is made for little ones, for bringing the dog along, for anyone who needs a few days of blissfully uncomplicated happiness.

For summer days that tend to end early because everyone is properly, completely worn out in the very best way.

Much of what you see at Fowlescombe was built from stone quarried right here. Mark, our stonemason, is still at it. Same quarry, same methods, same old ways building new walls. He describes working it as a bit of a wrist shatterer. Six hundred years of stonemasons would probably agree.

The flowers in your suite when you arrived were still in the ground this morning. Grown here, cut here, arranged in Shelley’s barn (a secret place that has quickly become a highlight of every garden tour), and yours to take with you when you leave.

They travel surprisingly well…

A Week on the Farm | 7 June 2026

Broad beans, in an unassuming before and an exceptional after. Today’s hedgerow and herb bed finds, set to meet tonight’s garden broth. Feed between forage, and hooky stick stretches in a race against the tiny window for elderflower harvesting. The last of the sea kale and the first of the chioggia beetroot. Award wins that mean the world, quite literally, for a place trying to change it for the better. Apples from the orchard, elderflower from the lane and summer savoury from the beds, all doing their bit for a very good cause, as Elly and Zac swapped pasture for polo in aid of Hospitality Action.

June is doing what June sometimes does. But rain this week means grass that grows deeper and stronger, soil that holds itself, reserves that’ll see us through a dry summer. Nothing is wasted here, even a grey week.

Does that stop us longing for June days that look more this? Absolutely not.

Field Notes | 4 June 2026

Perennials: Meet Shelley, head gardener here at Fowlescombe. She knows her perennials as the ‘stalwarts’. It’s a word that hardly screams exciting. But things that come back without being asked - no replanting, no soil disturbance, no fuss or fanfare - just constant ground cover and a kitchen that knows what’s on the way? That’s anything but boring.

“The highest compliment I can pay Fowlescombe Farm is that staying there feels less like being in a hotel and more like staying with relatives - exceptionally stylish relatives, with impeccable taste, beautiful surroundings and outstanding food. It remains a rare place that combines genuine warmth with luxury, and we are already looking forward to returning again.”

This is everything we hoped Fowlescombe would feel like, put into words by a guest we can’t wait to welcome back.
