The Farmhouse
Sleeps 6 / 3 Beds / 1 Bathroom
The perfect rural escape in Longleat's parkland
Longleat Estate is beautifully framed by a surrounding crescent-shaped ridge. The Farmhouse is nestled on its east side, surrounded by idyllic and tranquil wild fields.
It represents a stunning opportunity to escape from the hustle and bustle of busy everyday life for a beautiful moment of stillness. Sit comfortably and seize the binoculars; you’re likely to encounter many members of the Estate’s enigmatic native species here; such as deer, rabbits, and birds of prey.
Enjoy sunny days and golden evenings under the pergola or in the luxurious hot tub as you take in the peaceful landscape surrounding you. With an outdoor kitchen, barbeque and pizza oven, you can cook and dine al fresco, before settling in front of the fire pit for a toasted marshmallow dessert.

The property's history
The Farmhouse is a Grade II listed stone cottage near the summit of Park Hill, the highest point of Longleat Park. It dates back to the late 17th century and initially served as a farmhouse for workers tending the corn farm on Park Hill, supplying cereal crops that fed the household at Longleat as well as the horses, dogs, pigs, poultry and game birds kept there.
By the 1870s the cottage was no longer used as a traditional farmhouse, housing a succession of Longleat gamekeepers until 1940. Since this time, it has been home to a variety of others connected to the estate, including a staff member from the RAF depot in the Longleat woods at Crabtree, a furniture conservator employed by Longleat House, and a park ranger.
