RELAXING
at SHATTON HALL FARM
Many
of our guests just want to relax by their cottage, wander in the gardens,
find somewhere to sit, sketch or photograph.
Children
love to run in the fields, paddle in the stream, fly a kite.
Older
children spend time on the tennis court and often try fishing in the
trout lake.
We
have farm trails through our ancient woodland and pastures, where you
might spot heron along the stream, which runs right down through the
farm or buzzards wheeling over head. They nest in the wood.
Coming
home after dark we often find a badger running the up lane ahead.
