Adults-only farm stay in Gainsborough
Farm Stay Experience
Brampton Dales Farm is a working farm that offers guests the chance to interact with resident animals including sheep, cows, horses, chickens, and a turkey. The property is adults-only, with private rooms that open onto a courtyard and garden. Guests receive a welcome from the host, who provides a tour of the farm and introduces the animals, such as Ronnie and Reggie the sheep.
Accommodations
Rooms are decorated in a vintage 1950s style with handmade crochet blankets, embroidered linens, and traditional crockery. Each room has a private entrance, a flat-screen TV, and a view of the orchard or countryside. The bed is described by guests as exceptionally comfortable, and the en-suite bathroom includes free toiletries.
Breakfast and Dining
A cooked-to-order full English breakfast is served each morning, using local ingredients and eggs from the farm's own chickens. The host bakes fresh bread daily, served with homemade preserves and butter. Breakfast is eaten in a separate dining room with white linen tablecloths and hand-embroidered napkins.
Location and Nearby Attractions
The farm is located 24 km from Lincoln University and 47 km from Humberside Airport. Nearby attractions include Lincoln Medieval Bishops' Palace, Clumber Park, and Blyton Park Driving Center. The nearest village with a pub (The Fox and Hounds) is a 10-minute walk away.
Farm Animals and Activities
Guests can join the host for a tour of the farm to see horses, Shetland ponies, and free-range chickens. The resident turkey, known as "Big Bird," often taps on windows, and the cockerel provides an early morning alarm. Two Herdwick sheep, Ronnie and Reggie, frequently wander near the breakfast room.
