Guest Accommodation – At The Wellbeing Farm, we believe in creating unforgettable weddings and events, all while supporting the local community and preserving the environment. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond what you might expect from an eco-friendly venue. Yes, we run green weddings, but we take things a step further by intentionally not providing on-site guest accommodation, apart from our charming farmhouse, which sleeps four. Why? Because we believe in the power of community. By directing our guests to local accommodations, we ensure that our business has a positive impact on the wider area, supporting local pubs, shops, B&Bs, and taxis.
Our decision to operate this way helped us achieve B Corp status, a certification that recognises businesses with high social and environmental performance standards. This status reflects our values at The Wellbeing Farm. We’re proud to be a sustainable, community-focused venue where every event contributes to the local economy and creates meaningful connections. Let’s dive into what makes this approach so special, and how we’re able to accommodate all your wedding guests comfortably by working with our fantastic neighbours.
Luxury Farmhouse for an Intimate Stay
We love welcoming guests to our luxurious farmhouse, which offers a cosy stay for up to four people. This is an ideal space for the bridal party, close family, or a few friends who want to enjoy an intimate experience. The farmhouse combines rustic charm with modern comfort, giving guests a real taste of countryside luxury. But we know that most weddings and events have a longer guest list, and for that, we’re happy to recommend the wonderful places to stay nearby.
Our farmhouse may be perfect for a small group, but we recognise that it doesn’t meet the needs of every wedding or event. That’s where our connections with local accommodation providers come in. With over 350 rooms available within a 10-mile radius, there are plenty of options for all your guests. And the best part? Choosing to stay locally means your guests experience the charm of the area while supporting independent businesses.
The Benefits of Supporting Local Businesses
We’re passionate about supporting our neighbours, and choosing local accommodation has a ripple effect on the community. When guests book rooms at nearby B&Bs, inns, or hotels, they’re doing more than securing a place to sleep. They’re helping to create jobs, sustain small businesses, and contribute to the local economy.
It doesn’t stop there. Once your guests are settled into their accommodation, they’re likely to venture out to nearby pubs, cafes, and shops. They may book taxis to travel around, further supporting local drivers and creating a memorable experience in the area. By encouraging guests to explore the local scene, we’re helping to build a thriving community where everyone benefits. Sustainability isn’t just about being eco-friendly; it’s also about building strong relationships that uplift everyone involved.
Green and Community-Focused Values
As an eco-conscious venue, we could easily focus on sustainable building materials, energy-saving initiatives, or zero-waste practices (and we do all those too!). But we want to go beyond that by also fostering sustainability on a human level. Our approach prioritises not only the planet but also the people around us.
Our choice to work with local businesses for guest accommodation means that we’re not contributing to excessive building or land use. Instead, we celebrate the local farms, family-run B&Bs, and cosy inns that surround us. Many of these places have their own sustainable practices in place, creating a harmonious blend of eco-friendly efforts across our whole community. When your guests stay locally, they’re experiencing a genuinely green event, one where each choice contributes to the bigger picture.
Safety and Convenience for Guests
Planning a wedding at The Wellbeing Farm comes with another key advantage: guests who stay locally can leave their cars at the farm overnight, knowing they’re safe and secure. This means everyone can fully relax and enjoy the celebration without the worry of needing to drive afterwards. They can then book a short taxi ride back to their accommodation, supporting local drivers and ensuring a comfortable end to the night.
By providing a secure place for cars on-site, we give your guests the flexibility to unwind and make the most of their time here. They can spend the day celebrating and the evening dancing, then take a peaceful journey back to their room at one of our recommended local spots. This approach enhances both the convenience and safety of your event, letting everyone focus on what really matters—celebrating with you!
Explore Our Local Accommodation Options
If you’re planning a wedding or event with us, you might wonder if the surrounding area can really accommodate all your guests. The answer is a resounding yes! While we’re nestled in beautiful countryside, we’re far from being in the middle of nowhere. In fact, there are over 350 rooms available within a 10-mile radius, each with its own unique charm.
Many of the local options are family-run farms that have converted part of their property into B&Bs, offering a friendly and authentic experience for your guests. Staying at one of these places offers your friends and family a unique insight into the local culture and a sense of true countryside hospitality. We love recommending these accommodations, and we’re here to help you find the perfect match for each guest.
For those seeking a little extra luxury, several boutique hotels and charming inns also lie within a short drive of the farm. Each option brings something special, allowing your guests to choose the style of accommodation that suits them best. From picturesque farmhouses to elegant rooms with countryside views, your guests can experience the beauty of the area, and they’re sure to leave with fond memories of the community they supported.
Celebrating Our B Corp Certification
Our commitment to local businesses and community support played a significant role in achieving our B Corp status. This certification reflects our dedication to environmental and social impact. We believe that supporting our community is just as important as protecting the planet. And through every wedding and event, we get to live out these values in a way that benefits everyone around us.
B Corp status isn’t just a label; it’s a statement of our promise to make a positive impact. It’s a commitment to ethical business practices, sustainable choices, and community investment. By choosing to celebrate at The Wellbeing Farm, you’re choosing to be part of this mission. You’re helping us support the local economy, reduce our environmental footprint, and create a wedding experience that’s as meaningful as it is beautiful.
Embrace the Countryside Charm and Community Spirit
Guest Accommodation – Planning your wedding at The Wellbeing Farm isn’t just about finding a stunning venue—it’s about joining a community. It’s about creating a celebration that supports local businesses, uplifts families, and leaves a positive mark on the area. Your wedding can become a memorable part of this community, adding to the rich history and helping to sustain the region.
Each time a guest books a room locally, dines at a nearby pub, or takes a short taxi ride back to their accommodation, they’re contributing to the spirit of this place. They’re taking part in an experience that goes beyond the farm gates and into the heart of our community. And that’s something truly special.
We’re here to make your wedding dreams a reality while honouring the values that matter most. So, if you’re ready to plan a wedding that’s eco-friendly, community-focused, and packed with countryside charm, reach out to us at The Wellbeing Farm. Together, let’s create a celebration that leaves a lasting, positive impact for everyone involved.
