The Owner Says
This converted Cart lodge at the entrance to Chigborough Farm has recently been renovated. Formerly The Chigborough Lodge Restaurant, this characterful, beamed detached property offers luxurious accommodation in the heart of Chigborough Farm. It has a private undercover verandah outside the property, a spacious living area, well equipped kitchen, double bedroom, bath room and WC. We recommend it sleeps two, but it has a sofa bed for occasional extra guests.
It is a short walk away from The Farm Cafe (open Thurs-Sun) and Fishing lakes, and is just a mile from the popular wedding venue at Vaulty Manor.
