An environmentally sustainable, wedding venue, group accommodation venue and conference centre.

Folly Farm comprises a restored 18th century farmhouse and surrounding buildings set within a 250-acre nature reserve complete with wildflower meadows, ancient woodland, an abundance of wildlife and the most breathtaking views across Chew Valley Lake, the Mendip Hills and beyond.

The Farmhouse offers 10 comfortable country-style bedrooms, all leading off from a central atrium, complete with comfy sofas, a real log fire and a glass ceiling, perfect for star gazing. Within The Farmhouse there is also a professional kitchen available for guest use, and the adjacent ‘Old Diary’ dining room is ideal for group dining.

10 self-contained Studio Cottages are located just a stone’s throw from the Farmhouse with stunning views across the valley. Each has a kitchenette, dining area, bathroom and twin or double bed. All rooms have TV, internet and telephones.

Folly Farm is a sustainable venue and offers eco-features including biomass central heating, solar hot water, rainwater harvesting and willow beds for treating waste water. Owned and managed by Avon Wildlife Trust, all profits go to support the work of the trust. So, when you choose to stay, you’ll be making a real difference by supporting ecological and conservation work both at Folly Farm and across the region.
