Shepherd's Hut: Dora / Marjorie / June 

The T Barn is a collection of farm projects set in the middle of Barnsley, a quintessentially Cotswold village. After spending the first few years on the farm splitting time between working in food & events in London, helping milk the cows and raising their sons, Eloise started to look for opportunities to put her own stamp on farm life. The barn, once so integral to farm life, had become storage space for farm equipment and seemed the obvious place to start. 

Now the evolution of farm diversification begins, shepherds huts, asado barbecue farm suppers, weddings and parties, floristry workshops,  and we are always open to suggestions….

The farm is a beautiful spot and one that we are committed to sharing with others, the land rolls outwards across the valley providing lush pastures for the cows. Original stone barns, stables, pig stys, shepherds huts and an old bakehouse show the evolution of farming over the centuries. 

The T Barn

The site is spacious - around four acres for just ten pitches - and comprises pasture edged by woodland. We welcome tents, campervans and caravans and are happy for you to make a campfire (you will find stone ‘grates’ around the site).

Pitch occupation is limited to 5 people, one vehicle and one large tent (awnings and small ancillary tents not included).

Please book additional pitches if your party exceeds any of these maximums.

We have lots of space so allow you to choose your spot - we’re sure you’ll find somewhere just right.

The site is spacious - around four acres for just ten pitches - and comprises pasture edged by woodland. We welcome tents, campervans and caravans and are happy for you to make a campfire (you will find stone ‘grates’ around the site).

We have converted a horsebox into two high quality composting toilets and two hot water shower cubicles. It has step-free access. On the area of hard-standing, there are also electricity points and open-air stainless steel sinks with worktops. There are recycling facilities near the entrance.

As we are also a working sheep farm we’re afraid we’re unable to welcome dogs.
