Guests can also enjoy some of the country’s finest organic food – sourced straight from the farm, naturally – plus market garden tours and suppers at The Wild Rabbit. You’ll stay in the beautifully restored Daylesford cottages, complete with log fires, cashmere blankets and botanical bath products, with plenty of opportunities to explore the 2,500 acre farm on your doorstep.
