Amazing stay! Pure relaxation!
Amazing stay!!!!! The views were amazing!!! Had a lovely farm tour, and the kids got to get up close to the animals!! Hot tub was great, looking up at the stars at night, pure relaxation. So quiet, and so many things for the kids to do! Thankyou again Audrey and Tim for a lovely stay, we will be… Read more “Amazing stay! Pure relaxation!”
Gorgeous, private, special place.
We spent an amazing 5 days with our 3 children 1, 6, and 9 on the farm. Tim and Audrey are the loveliest, most welcoming people. Audrey came over late one night when I struggled to keep our log burner going 🙂 and Tim showed the children all around the farm, how all the machines worked. He let them sit on all of the tractors and even taste fresh milk from the cows. Paul was fantastic and let us feed baby calves! We played on the rope swing and built dens! This really was such a gorgeous, private, special place. Not forgetting collecting fresh eggs every morning! If you have children who are always glued to their ipads/tv’s/phones.. I would highly recommend visiting this amazing family farm. Endless fun, bbq’s, late nights in the hot tub. We will remember the memories we made forever and already can’t wait to return! Thankyou Tim & Audrey for the love, care and dedication you put into making us feel so welcome. Adele… Read more “Gorgeous, private, special place.”
What an absolutely fantastic stay
What an absolutely fantastic stay we had at the Village Farm Getaway! The canvas cottage was so beautifully made and so cosy that we didn’t want to leave it to go outside, even on a beautiful day. Everything was so well designed and thought through; no detail was missed, even down to finding a pot of milk in the fridge for tea and delicious flapjacks waiting for us upon our arrival. Tim and Audrey were wonderful hosts who made us feel so welcome and even gave us a tour of their family-run farm which was so interesting. We enjoyed our stay so much that we cannot wait to come back and after showing our friends and family the photos that we took, they want to visit for themselves. We couldn’t recommend this amazing Glamping experience… Read more “What an absolutely fantastic stay”
I recommend this…..without hesitation!
What a fantastic two days. The location is ideal, the view from the balcony stunning, the safari tent is so thoughtfully equipped, and everything was done to ensure our stay was as good as we’d hoped. The farm tour was so interesting and we never felt in the way. From us collecting the eggs in the morning from the hens, to us seeing the milking process first hand, everything was perfect. I recommend this to anyone without… Read more “I recommend this…..without hesitation!”
Glamping at its best!

Return visit for us
Such a very special break. Very friendly owners Tim & Audrey. The welcome cake was a lovely touch. We loved the farm tour, feeding the calves, collecting the eggs, meeting the new Alpacas. Fantastic hot tub which was well used. This was a return visit for us and we will definitely be back. Clare, David &… Read more “Return visit for us”

Just to say a BIG thank you to Tim and Audrey and Peter, Michael and Matt. They are great hosts and nothing is too much trouble. My friends and I had an absolute great time staying in Barleyleas.

We hope to be back… Read more “We can’t stop talking about our experience!”
A genuinely peaceful retreat….. Magic!
What an absolutely unique and wonderful place to stay. Audrey and Tim have cleverly catered for all desires – luxury safari tents that are beautifully, immaculately furnished with welcoming and thoughtful touches; plus all the necessities (fantastic log burner, fully equipped kitchen, lovely bathroom with heating, hot tub with amazing view, comfy beds with electric blanket for those more chilly nights, power etc) in a stunning rural setting at the heart of their dairy farm. A genuinely peaceful retreat with the option to get your wellies on and properly enjoy and learn about the farm. We fed calves, collected eggs every day, rode on tractors, built straw bale dens, played on rope swings and so much more. We didn’t leave the farm in 4 days and still had plenty to do. Whether you are after a romantic retreat, reunion with friends or family holiday, Village Farm caters for all. This is a very special place with extremely warm and genuine hospitality.… Read more “A genuinely peaceful retreat….. Magic!”
All the little details were so lovely.
Me, my husband and our 3 children spent 2 nights at Village farm in March 2018. We were a little worried as the weather had been terrible but there was no need to have been. When we arrived the log burner had already been lit so the tent was lovely and warm, there were beautiful fresh flowers on the table and very tasty home made rock cakes for us. Audrey gave us a very warm welcome and brought me a card and a bottle of prosecco for my birthday which was really thoughtful. There were teddy bears, hot water bottles and story books in the children’s room and I was pleased to see an electric blanket in our bed. All the little details were so lovely. The children enjoyed getting the fresh eggs from the hen house in the morning then going back and having them for breakfast and they loved Tim’s farm tour, they especially enjoyed going for a ride on the truck and my husband loved driving a tractor. It was very interesting looking round and learning about the farm and nothing was too much trouble for Tim. We also had a little walk to a lovely pub… Read more “All the little details were so lovely.”
Children did not want to leave!
We really enjoyed our stay last month and were very happy with the high specs of the interior of the glamping lodge. It was all very luxurious. Your attention to detail was noticed and much appreciated. The children had a wonderful time and did not want to leave. We hope to visit again in the not too distant future. Thank you for the warm friendly… Read more “Children did not want to leave!”
Exceeded our expectations in every way!
We have just returned from a fantastic short break at Village Farm Getaway, which exceeded our expectations in every way! The Safari tents are cosy, comfortable and wonderfully well-equipped, the surroundings are stunning, and Audrey and Tim are so friendly and helpful and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. The Farm tour was so informative and interesting for both kids and adults and included several surprises! The children loved feeding the calves, collecting fresh eggs every morning and spent hours in the play barn and the adults enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the countryside, and relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day! We would 100% recommend Village Farm Getaway and will definitely be… Read more “Exceeded our expectations in every way!”

It was great being able to experience the farm as well – a perfect weekend… Read more “A perfect weekend away!”
The children loved all the animals.
We have had a fantastic stay, Tim & Audrey were lovely from the moment we got there to the moment we left. The children loved all of the animals, riding on the back of the tractor, the rope swing in the barn and even seeing a calf being born !! The tent was lovely, everything had been thought of, even down to homemade brownies and flapjacks upon arrival. Sitting round the fire pit with the children toasting marshmallows, then playing football until it got dark, memories have been made. Thankyou for having us.

It exceeded our expectations!
We had an amazing stay at Village Farm Getaway ! The Glamping tent was more than adequate, a lovely cake on the table on arrival was a nice touch (delicious too) comfy beds, great hot shower, having the hot tub was perfect & the views are just fabulous. We had a wonderful tour of the farm, fed the calves, all our questions were answered about the running of it and we asked many ! Collected eggs from the hen house for breakfast every morning. There is also a barn with rope swing which is great for kids and adults alike! Plenty of lovely walks and some nice Pubs nearby that do delicious food. All in all it exceeded our expectations. We cannot thank Tim, Audrey, Paul and Sophie enough for their hospitality. Get booking everyone, you will not be disappointed… Read more “It exceeded our expectations!”
A perfect, relaxing 2 night stay
Had a perfect relaxing 2 night stay with 4 friends in Barleyleas. The surroundings were perfect and we felt very much at home with some lovely personalised touches and plenty of essentials provided. The chickens provided our eggs for breakfast each morning and we enjoyed spending time in the hot tub. Would definitely recommend for any… Read more “A perfect, relaxing 2 night stay”
A fantastic stay……
We had such a fantastic stay at village farm getaway, Audrey and Tim could not have done more to make us feel welcome! The tent was amazing and kitted out with everything we could possibly need – even down to marshmallows to toast on the camp fire! Waking up on a chilly morning and lighting the log burner was just dreamy! We had two very enthusiastic 4 year old would-be farmers with us, and Tim was so kind and accommodating to them, showing them all round the farm and explaining everything he does. I hope we will be back again… Read more “A fantastic stay……”
The best equipped glamping…..great value for money….
We have just returned for a fabulous 3 nights at the Village farm. It was by far the best equipped glamping we have ever stayed in. Every little detail was thought of – Proper beds, towels for the hot tub, well equipped kitchen, firewood, log burner, hot tub and BBQ fire pit. There were even Marshmallows ready for toasting. The safari tent is very comfortable and also has excellent toilet and shower facilities (the best I’ve ever encountered glamping) The location is great, quiet and views of open fields, cows and sheep, a short walk to the nearest pub, yet only a 10 minute drive to Thurmaston retail park. The hosts Audrey and Tim were friendly and very helpful, Tim gave my husband and nephews a tour of the farm, and they also played on a rope swing in the barn. They had a great time learning about the… Read more “The best equipped glamping…..great value for money….”
As returning guests, we had a lovely time yet again.
As returning guests to The Village Farm Getaway we had a lovely time yet again. We can’t think of a holiday more perfect with 3 children under the age of 7 than here. It’s so peaceful with beautiful views and so much for the children to do, such as collecting fresh eggs from the chickens in the morning, spending hours in the hay barn and on the rope swing, seeing the cows, horses and pigs, roasting marshmallows round the fire pit, barbecues and playing on the field until the sun goes down. Of course when the kids are tucked up in bed what more can you ask for than to get in the hot tub under the stars with a glass of prosecco? Audrey and Tim were yet again so accommodating, nothing was to much trouble for them. It’s just a perfect place and so many more memories have been made with our little family at The Village Farm… Read more “As returning guests, we had a lovely time yet again.”
A private and exclusive stay
The hosts are just incredible. Tim and Audrey could not do enough to help make the stay more enjoyable, and the time they took out of their day to show us around and make us feel welcome was so appreciated by our whole family (including two children aged 4 and 1). And it wasn’t just limited to Tim and Audrey, their whole team were so welcoming and kind with their time. A special shout out to “Farmer Sophie” who was helping out on the farm while we were there – we had a very inspired four year old all week thanks to her amazing work (and bravery on the rope swing!) The accommodation was fantastic – all the little details were perfect. Privacy in our tent, the high quality and high spec of the tent itself, Luxurious bedding, all the kitchen utensils we could ever need, firewood provided, even the electric blanket in the main bed. The hot tub was the cherry on top and much needed after a full day exploring Our eldest daughter actually turned four during the stay and Audrey made her a gorgeous birthday cake which she is still talking about now… We can’t wait to… Read more “A private and exclusive stay”

Tents were spotless, well equipped and very homely
We had a wonderful stay at Village Farm Gateway, the glamping safari tents were spotless, well equipped and very homely. The location is beautiful and perfect for a break in the countryside. What makes the Village Farm Getaway so special is that it is a working farm and Tim and Audrey are such excellent hosts and were so generous with their time showing us all the workings of the farm and having a tour, our children loved it. I would thoroughly… Read more “Tents were spotless, well equipped and very homely”
Weather was never an issue!
We had a wonderful few days in our tent last week. The views, accommodation and welcome were perfect on every level from the flapjacks to the unmissable farm tour with Tim! We would highly recommend staying to explore the local surroundings after having a lovely day in Belvoir Castle and Oakham Castle whilst we were there. Highlights for us were camp fires, lovely hosts, amazing views and fabulous tent so weather was never an… Read more “Weather was never an issue!”
“The best glamping site so far.”
We enjoyed our stay very much. Having visited a number of Glamping sites we all think this was the best so far. From the warm welcome to having a gas hob and fridge in the tent – such luxury! Then having electrics for charging the mobile (which we needed for the Google navigation!!) The hot tub was great. The hay (play) barn brought back memories of my time spent playing on a friends farm as a child – the kids loved it! We visited a number of the local pubs for meals which were all good. Highly recommended. Thankyou all for such a warm… Read more ““The best glamping site so far.””
Perfect three nights!
My wife and I had a perfect three nights in Barleyleas, we did very little apart from cooking our food in the woodburner, warming our toes round the fire, sipping bubbly in the hot tub whilst watching the stars. Had a couple of small walks to a couple of small pubs and an interesting tour of the farm. Very peaceful. Think you’ve smashed it Audrey. Thanks to you… Read more “Perfect three nights!”
One of the best staycation weekends away we have ever had.
Where do we start! This was probably one of the best staycation weekends away we have ever had. Audrey and everyone on the farm made us feel so welcome as soon as we arrived. There were so many little personal touches and the accommodation was pure glamping luxury. We were treated as part of the family and allowed to explore the farm, milk cows, feed calves, swinging on rope swings and even watched a baby calf being born! We regressed to childhood bliss in the day and spent the evenings in the amazing hot tub, cooking over the fire pit and in the amazing log burner inside the tent. We were overwhelmed by the friendly welcome and fantastic experiences we had during our holiday. We will 100% be back and have told all our friends and family about your wonderful place. This would be even more amazing with children… a complete child’s paradise! Thank you so much… Read more “One of the best staycation weekends away we have ever had.”
What a lovely retreat!
What a lovely retreat in the beautiful setting of the Leicestershire countryside. There is everything provided to make your stay very enjoyable. We went to the Armourgeddon military museum which was interesting and went to market Harborough.The local restaurant Black Boy pub served great food . The safari tents were toasty warm with the log burner and extra special treat of an electric blanket. We were that warm at one point we had to open the front of the tent to let some cool air in from the rolling countryside. Thanks again Audrey and family! We will definitely be back to sit in the private jacuzzi with stunning… Read more “What a lovely retreat!”
Can’t praise enough!
Tim and Audrey made us feel very welcome from the homemade chocolate brownie on arrival, to offering activities which were age appropriate for the kids. This is a place to totally relax and unwind. The safari tent is furnished to a high standard and includes everything you could possibly need during your stay. The hot tub and fire pit are added bonuses and made for enjoyable evenings toasting marshmallows watching the sunset. We will definitely be… Read more “Can’t praise enough!”

We had a great stay
We had a great stay at Village Farm Getaway. The tents are amazing, feeling homely and warm, yet still giving the feel of camping. We loved sitting around the log fire burner at night and cooking pain au chocolate for breakfast in the morning. We went out to Rutland water, only 30 minutes drive away, and went paddle boarding and kayaking. Brilliant hosts with a tour around the farm. All round fantastic weekend and well worth a… Read more “We had a great stay”
The best glamping set up
We had a lovely stay at Village Farm, what a fabulous discovery it was! The tent itself had everything you would ever need, it was definitely the best glamping set up I have stayed in. The owners are so friendly and create such a relaxed environment, the children loved getting involved on the farm feeding the calves and ‘helping’ milk the cows. We have already checked out availability to see when we can come back! Thank you… Read more “The best glamping set up”
Where do I start !
Where do I start ! We are a family with 3 boys who love to go on games consoles and honestly do not spend enough time together so this was our way of getting back on track enjoying time together. On arrival we were met by Audrey who greeted us all which was lovely, the Safari tent totally blew us away and the little touches just made us smile from the minute we arrived. The hot tub was lovely and warm ready for guests to enjoy(which we did) Everything for a nice cuppa on arrival and marshmallows to toast ! And the teddy bears for the boys to sleep with too, and from that moment on the Safari tent area was ours to enjoy and Audrey was on hand for any problems. We accepted the kind offer of a farm tour which is so interesting. Our 7 year old wasn’t to keen on it at first , but I have to say we have all said that was the best bit of our whole break ( and the flapjack 😊) The boys and myself met the calves up close and myself and partner both got to drive the tractor which… Read more “Where do I start !”
Looking forward to another visit!
A last minute long weekend away in beautiful countryside and on a great farm. The safari tent was amazing and had everything we needed. The log burner kept us cosy on the cooler evenings and the hot tub was lovely. The hosts Tim and Audrey were fantastic and the farm tour was very informative and interactive, tractor rides, feeding calves and learning about milking. Fresh milk and eggs were delicious as well as the chocolate brownies baked for us and there for when we arrived. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! Will look forward to another visit in the not too distant… Read more “Looking forward to another visit!”
We have just had a
We have just had a wonderful three night break in these fabulous tents for a family trip. My sister and her family were in one tent, and myself and my family were in the other, it was perfect. The two tents are situated in a secluded field with gorgeous views of the countryside, the field is fenced off so the children could just play to their hearts content. Audrey has thought of everything in the tents: comfy beds, lovely bathroom, warm and spacious, with even homemade flapjacks on arrival. Audrey and Tim offer a warm welcome, Tim gave us a really interesting and an insightful tour of the farm, including tractor ride. The children got to collect eggs and feed the calves and we all got to see the milking. The children’s favourite part though was the fun barn, equipped with bales to climb on and make dens in and a rope swing … they were in heaven. Our best bit was getting the kids to bed and relaxing in the hot tub. We visited initially as it was half way between where our two families live, but what we discovered was a great and unique experience. I can’t recommend… Read more “We have just had a”
I can’t recommend this place enough!
Well what can I say other than perfect! We stayed in the Barleyleas which was absolutely lovely. Lots of lovely touches and all the essentials you need. Beautiful bathroom!! The tent or canvas cottage more like, was amazing! Log burner kept us warm and the fairy lights were so romantic. We came for a short weekend to escape the kids and had the most relaxing wonderful time. The hot tub is amazing!!!! Views spectacular and really private. Audrey was on hand for anything we needed.

The family were so incredibly helpful and welcoming from the moment we booked. Clear arrival instructions and communication, a spotless tent (no mean feat!) and a lovely warm welcome of a log fire and homemade brownies. The tour of the farm far exceeded my expectations and the opportunity to collect eggs, play in the barn and all the other fun stuff made this family break one to remember for a very long time!! We will be back again soon for… Read more “Clear arrival instructions and communication….”
A fantastic stay
We stayed in Barleyleas for 3 nights and had a fantastic stay. The nights were cold outside but cosy inside. The days were spent outside exploring the surrounding countryside and being shown around the Farm (highly recommended). Fresh eggs every morning, fresh milk and milkshakes from the vending machines, fabulous. The hot tub was put to good use and we enjoyed a warm relaxing time in there whilst the weather was cool and breezy! The beds were comfortable and warm, the blankets were a nice touch when we sat outside on the veranda to enjoy the fresh air and views. The log burner was great for keeping us warm in the living space. We even used the oven above it to cook pizza (after I had noticed that is was the perfect temperature to do so), there’s plenty of shops within a short drive to pick some up. My wife and daughter went over to see the alpaca’s (Alpaca Sisters) nearby and had a great time, so cute. We hope to return soon, hopefully in the Summer… Read more “A fantastic stay”

Friendly, helpful hosts made a perfect start to a wonderful stay at Village Farm Getaway! Amazingly comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, fantastic shower, and log burner made our stay at Village Farm Getaway an experience we would like to repeat.Everything was tastefully presented and spotlessly clean with chairs on the veranda so we could appreciate the beautiful views. The peace and quiet makes it a lovely location well away from the usual hustle and bustle of life. The cows, Jaffa the farm dog, tractors and chickens immediately put you in the mood for a good time away on a working farm.

We truly can’t recommend it enough….
What a fantastic holiday we have just had at Village Farm Getaway – we truly couldn’t recomend it enough. My husband and I, and our 2 children aged 3 and 6, spent a full week at Barleylease during the Easter holidays. As soon as we arrived, we felt completely at home on the farm being welcomed by Tim and Audrey (who are such a genuinely lovely and kind couple) and then later Paul and everyone else who works on the farm – everyone was so welcoming. The canvas cottage was just perfect and none of wanted to leave at the end of our holiday. Audrey has really thought of absolutely everything in the cottage, we were truly spoilt; from a heated blanket in the bed, books and games for the children (Dobble is a family favourite!), a fully equipped kitchen, marshmallows waiting to be toasted on the fire pit, a bucket to collect fresh eggs each day (which the children loved!) fresh flowers and delicious home made rock cakes for us – not to mention a toasty arrival into the cottage as Audrey had kindly pre lit the fantastic log burner for us. The hot tub was brilliant, too, and… Read more “We truly can’t recommend it enough….”
Excellent accommodation
Excellent accommodation with a lovely view across lush fields. Comfortable beds. Nice extra touches eg welcoming delicious brownies. Tim and Audrey were very friendly and approachable and invited us to join the day to day farm life. Our children were able to collect eggs from the tent’s allocated chicken coop and feed calves. I was able to milk some cows which was extremely interesting. Lots to do nearby. The National Space Centre was a real winner with our young children and the Alpaca visit arranged via Tim was fabulous. We would definitely recommend this holiday and hope to come back some day.

We have just spent a lovely and relaxing weekend glamping at the Village Farm. Farmer Tim and Audrey are great hosts, making us feel welcome and including some nice touches- from our names on the welcome board in the tent, a fridge of essentials and lovely homemade flapjack, to a fun ride on the tractor trailer. We hired both tents for a family get together. They are beautifully situated in a private field so that this is possible and works well, whilst creating a feeling of space and yet security for the children. The tents are of a great standard- comfortable beds, a nice kitchen area and a good shower shed out the back. The farm is a great place for children- we got to look after chickens watch the milking and feed the new calves. The barn with a rope swing and hay bales to make dens was also very popular with the little ones! A lovely weekend of quality family time in a lovely environment. We would certainly recommend the experience the the farm… Read more “We have just spent a”
The perfect place to get away from it all
We have just come back from a perfect weekend away at Village Farm. The safari tents are amazing, it is definitely luxurious glamping and they are in the perfect place to get away from it all. Audrey and Tim are wonderful hosts from the birthday cake on our arrival to the tour around the farm. We collected fresh eggs for breakfast and spent evenings in the hot tub. The kitchen is fully equipped, we chose however to get local takeaways. The whole weekend has been brilliant and just the tonic for the last year, we hope to come back in the future.

A wonderful week at Village Farm Getaway
We spent a wonderful week at Village Farm Getaway really getting into the farming experience. Audrey and Tim were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us. We had homemade brownies and flapjacks on arrival and the children collected freshly laid eggs from the chickens every morning. We were lucky enough to see a calf being born! The children loved the hot tub and the “fun barn” where they played on the rope swing in between the straw bales. We would love to go back and enjoy life down on the… Read more “A wonderful week at Village Farm Getaway”
“Breathtaking views and space for kids to run around”
We came to village farm to celebrate a milestone birthday in a unique way and must say we made some lasting memories with our 3 children. Audrey & Tim have shared their farm to give people like us such an amazing experience. They were genuine hosts who couldn’t do enough and all the the little extras were truly touching, I mean where else would you be greeted with the best freshly baked chocolate brownies on arrival with a personalised family welcome plaque?! The canvas safari tents were so well equipped, you couldn’t ask for anything else. We really enjoyed waking up to the sounds of “moo” and “clucking” – with some breathtaking views and fresh open space for kids to run around in – no iPads or phone – pure bliss!! The farm tour was amazing and well recommended, we got to herd the cows, play in stacks of hay, collect eggs and drive a big red tractor & so much more.

Our stay was fantastic!
Our stay was fantastic! Audrey and Tim were wonderful hosts and made us feel so at home on the farm. The tent was lovely, clean and comfortable, and the hot tub was perfect to relax in. My two year old son loved feeding the calves with Paul, collecting eggs from the chickens and watching the cows being milked. He tells anyone who will listen how he sat in a tractor on a tour of a real farm with Sophie! A very happy little boy!

We’ve just returned
We’ve just returned from a fabulous 3 days at the Village Farm Getaway with my husband and two kids (7 and 11). This was ‘getaway in it’s truest sense. The tents are situated in beautiful countryside where the kids spent hours exploring, chasing rabbits and playing hiding and seek. The tents are the perfect blend of luxury and cosy homeliness; with all the benefits of fresh air and toasted marshmallows but all the comfort of a gorgeous bathroom from home and a woodburning stove at night. The kitchen is well equipped so that as well as cooking on the open fire we were able to make use of a hob and oven – this definitely feels like camping without all the hard work. However the highlight of the getaway is its location on this friendly family farm. The welcome is warm and everyone so friendly that you quickly feel at home whether it is gathering morning free range eggs or visiting and feeding the new calves. We live locally within Leicestershire but this break felt every bit a getaway and we can’t wait to go… Read more “We’ve just returned”
