Lower Shaw Farm is situated near Swindon, one hour on the train from London, and easily accessible by public transport. We offer weekend breaks, events and courses for adults and for families. Please see our website http://www.lowershawfarm.co.uk for details of what is on.
The main farmhouse has bedrooms for visitors, the kitchen, a dining room for small groups, and the Hayloft, our lovely yoga studio. The outbuildings have been converted to more accommodation, meeting rooms, and workshops, and there is a beautiful turf-roofed rustic sauna.
With its large vegetable, herb, and flower gardens, its shrubs and trees, its puddles and ponds, hens and ducks, black and white sheep, friendly pigs, and unspoilt areas for play and exploration, the farm has developed an atmosphere and character of its own. Its outer ramshackle appearance masks an inner order and warmth. It’s sort of wild, welcoming, and very nice!
