About this property

Blue Faced Leicester & Romney

The Ramshackle Arcs are Fernhill’s version of a Shepherd’s Hut. These are available to book individually or as add-on accommodation for larger groups. We have three unique Arcs available all named after the sheep varieties on the farm.

The Blue Faced Leicester & Romney Arcs both sleeps up to four - eight. It comprises of 4 queen single mattress bunks. This Arc is beautifully hand crafted from timber milled here on the farm. Insulated by wool, these arcs are warm and cosy even in the winter months.

Under sheets, pillows, and pillowcases are provided, you will need to bring your own duvet/sleeping bag & towel (towels stipulated online are referring to hand towels).

A picnic bench, BBQ & Fire pit is available with the Arc, logs and coals can be purchased from our Farm Shop. If you would like some Fernhill Farm meat, we have BBQ & Breakfast packs (inc veggie options) available as well meat to support your catering needs. Order online (must be booked in advance).

Kitchen facilities with seating options are available at an additional cost, please advise if you require.

Please note: you will be asked to confirm that your booking adheres to Government rules and that your group will follow the Fernhill Farm Terms and Conditions. We will also require names and contact details so we can comply with Track & Trace.
Located on the top of the Mendip Hills in Somerset, at the heart of this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) we can be found on the main road (B3134) that links Burrington Coombe with the small city of Wells. Just over 5 miles from Cheddar, 20 miles from Bath and Bristol, and 7 miles from Bristol International airport we offer real hilltop countryside within easy reach. Re-established as an eco-farm we manage this site holistically with livestock and visitors throughout the farming and event calendar year.

The farm is 160 acres comprising mainly grasslands with 10 acres of woodland, orchard and kitchen garden. 3000 ewes, 40 cattle, together with woodland pigs are our means to sell quality produce commercially to specialist and local market outlets and offer our visitors zero food and fibre miles with complete transparency and traceability.

Eco Venue with Accommodation: All the original stone building are Grade II Listed and our Horseshoe Barns are currently the main social space here offering a complete versatile venue with accommodation. Converted from the original cow sheds in the authentic horseshoe footprint, this stone barn has been in operation since 2008 and provides a year round safe space, perfect for gatherings whatever the weather.

Using reclaimed building materials, wool insulation, wood cladding and wooden floors, our central heating system is designed to use home-grown logs and capture solar thermal rays whilst incorporating rain water harvesting to flush toilets that feeds our WET System. Throughout the years we have added solar electricity, additional accommodation units, Saloon and Loft facilities and in 2020 we are excited to be able to expand our eco venue offerings.

Amazing setting, lovely people and equally lovely accommodation.
We stayed with a large group of friends to celebrate a big birthday. The communal spaces were stunning, the accommodation charming, and all in such a quiet and wildlife-friendly location. We loved it!

The perfect venue!
Everything about the venue was perfect, from initial interactions with Jen, her suggestions for suppliers (from lighting, to catering, to cider), to of course the fantastic venue which gave us the opportunity to have a private event in stunning surroundings with great flexibility to make the occasion unique and our own. I cannot express how wonderful the day was, or how many compliments we got on the location.

About the host

Hosted by Host

Host profile image
Andy is the full-time nomadic shepherd here, managing over 5000 sheep all across the Mendip Hills:

A lifetime developing skills and a passion for blade shearing is evident through the years representing England at international sheep shearing competitions, along with recognition from BISCA in their Long Standing Service Award 2018 for his contributions to the shearing industry.
Andy trains, teaches, and promotes multipurpose sheep and their benefits on the land. Welcoming urban faces to our rural landscape helps keep the grey Mendip mist at bay through the long shepherding days.

Long-time partner to Andy and mum to Kyle and Seth, Jen is behind the events business and is now turning her attention to natural fibres:

Products with Provenance is our holistic message to re-educate, recognise true potential and incorporate every aspect of our natural resources and the key goal of our fibre business is to reposition wool in society as a primary product rather than by-product from the sheep meat industry. Our fibre shop supplies fleece, yarns, felts, fabric and ready to wear garments.
