About this property

A three bedroom, two bathroom that sleeps 6 guests in 3 bedrooms

The Homestead is one of seventeen holiday cottages at Town Farm, on the edge of the Chilterns. We are a working arable farm, with some sheep over the surrounding hills, we are lucky to have views over to Ivinghoe Beacon on one side, and Aylesbury Vale on the other. All the cottages each have their own unique charm, and we also run a campsite during the summer months. The `Pick Your Own` opens in June and guests can take a picnic and stock up on fruit and vegetables - this is a five minute drive away. It is only a ten minute drive to Tring Railway Station, shops and facilities, or a ten minute walk to Ivinghoe village, with pub, shop and tea room. London Euston is a 40 minute train ride from Tring Station.

The Homestead is a three bedroom cottage which was converted from a barn in 2007. It is laid out over two floors, with one ground floor bedroom and bathroom, and two bedrooms upstairs, including a double and two twins.

As you come in through the front door, you enter the spacious kitchen, which is fully equipped with cooker, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer. The kitchen sink has a view over the garden, and the Vale beyond, and there is also a kitchen table with three chairs. There is also a dining area in the sitting room.

The sitting room has a dining table with six chairs, and two large three seater sofas. The flat screen television has Freeview and there is also a DVD player.

There is a ground floor bedroom with twin beds, a chest of drawers and a view over the garden. There is also a ground floor bathroom with a bathtub with shower over.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, a double and a twin, both with chest of drawers and wardrobe. There is also an upstairs shower room, with shower, toilet and sink.

The property has access to a tennis court available to hire, games room and a children`s play area on the farm.

Please note that the rental includes an allowance of GBP30 per week, for electricity. Any extra is charged as used. This allows us to be able to remain environmentally green as possible.

Parking for two cars is available at the front of the property. Up to two pets are welcome in the property, please let us know on booking. Wi-fi is included in the rental.

We request a refundable GBP100 damage deposit for stays of up to 27 days, and one week`s rental for stays of over 28 days. Please see our terms and conditions for further details.

Good location and environment
The only thing I would suggest is more kitchen cleaning equipment such as a brilo pad, glass stove cleaner etc. Otherwise an enjoyable time.

clean modern and spacious
we were generally very pleased with the accommodation and would recommend it, apart from the fact that the cooker is rather ancient and does need to be replaced. The view from the garden is very scenic . The play area for the children is very good our young grandsons loved it . The nearby villages are very picturesque and the pubs are rustic and friendly and offer good food. We would certainly consider returning.

About the host

Hosted by Town Farm Cottages, Ivinghoe

Host profile image
I originally come from Cape Town, South Africa, and my home is now on the farm in Ivinghoe. My husband's family have owned Town Farm since the 1930's, it is an arable farm, with some sheep farming. Our brother in law also has a "Pick your own" just down the road, with everything from Asparagus in Spring, strawberries, and a long list of fresh vegetables throughout the summer into Autumn. We now have 17 cottages on site, which we started converting from barns in 1995. Many of our guests have enjoyed staying with us from all parts of the world and appreciate the beautiful countryside around us and there is always plenty to do.

Why they chose this property

All our properties are comfortably furnished and offer all the convenience of your own home, all with fully equipped kitchens, some with dishwasher, washing machine and tumble dryer. Linen and towels are also provided, together with an information pack in the property, with a list of local activities and things to do.

What makes this property unique

We love the area because you can be in the middle of the countryside one minute and hopping on the train for a 50 minute ride to London the next. The Chiltern Hills offer a wide variety of activities, from National Trust properties, walking through the bluebell woodlands, driving through the picturesque "Midsomer" villages, to visiting Tring Zoological museum, swooping down the real snow in Milton Keynes Snozone, or playing Top Golf in Watford. All within 30/40 minutes of the farm.

We are also close to the Grand Union Canal which stretches from London to Birmingham and which offers leisurely walks and boat hire. We are also only around an hour from Stratford on Avon, a little further to Oxford and Cambridge, and is a good basis for sightseeing.
