A working organic farm near Martley, Worcestershire. In our family for generations.
We have been farming organically since 1998. As one of only three certified organic hop growers in the United Kingdom, we are deeply committed to working in harmony with nature. Our family history on this land spans generations, and we steward it using progressive, regenerative farming methods to build soil organic carbon and restore natural ecosystems.
The farm is a vibrant, active agricultural business. We breed pedigree Hereford cattle with a lineage extending back to the 1800s, alongside easycare sheep. We also tend traditional cider orchards, Worcestershire damsons, and maintain wide wildflower meadow corridors that provide nesting habitats for native wildlife. Scientific assessments show our land holds 34% more biodiversity than conventional farms.
The meadow is yours alone — a hidden corner of Worcestershire where you can relax with friends, walk the countryside, and cook over an open fire.
We only ever take one booking at a time. No strangers sharing the fire pit, no awkward hellos in the morning. We believe that the best private retreats for groups require absolute privacy. When you book Hopnest with your friends or family, the entire tipi meadow and river frontage are exclusively yours. There are no other guests, allowing you to enjoy your escape in total comfort and safety.
I've lived on this farm my whole life. I want guests who love the countryside and want to be part of it, even just for a few days. I'm always nearby if you need anything, and always happy to leave you alone if you don't. Whether you are planning a reunion, a milestone birthday, or just a long-overdue trip with friends, I am on hand to help with activities, firewood, and anything else you need.
Gather your group and enjoy exclusive hire of our riverside retreat.
