Our beautiful 18th century farmhouse is the perfect holiday home for a large group of friends or the entire family including the dog – a real luxury stay.
A farmhouse holiday home perfect for large groups. With six bedrooms, the farmhouse can comfortably house large groups for a family break or a group weekend getaway, ensuring everyone has their own private space. This makes it perfect for family reunions, group holidays, or special occasions like weddings.
With a large garden, a woodland on site, plenty of countryside walks, you can experience amazing views and the sounds of the country side – a perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.
While retaining its rustic charm and historical features, the farmhouse also has modern amenities. Guests can enjoy the best of both worlds – the beauty of traditional architecture and the comfort of contemporary facilities like fully equipped kitchens, gorgeous bathrooms and Wi-Fi.
Set at the end of a long driveaway, the farmhouse at Polehanger is an ideal choice for those seeking a more exclusive and secluded farmhouse holiday break, allowing for uninterrupted quality time with family or friends.
In addition to the various walks on footpaths and the woodland, there’s a lovely big garden, as well as a tennis court and table tennis table. And loads to do in the local area if you can tear yourself away from our luxury accommodation.
In winter, its cosy by the fireplace, or in summer you can enjoy endless afternoons playing in the garden and evenings watching the sun set.
Our luxury farmhouse and gardens have hosted many a fabulous wedding, and we think we’re the perfect party venue – not only for your nuptials, but also business accommodation, a pamper weekend or just a farmhouse holiday.

If you’re after a country escape from the city – look no further. Winter or summer, our luxury farmhouse won’t disappoint.
Imagine, you arrive late on a Friday afternoon in May. The sun is shining and there’s plenty of time to unpack, relax and meet in the garden for a few afternoon drinks.
Perhaps you will do a cocktail making class that evening and learn to shake (or stir) your favourite tipple. Its all possible in our luxury house for hire.
After a lovely lie in (or a run along our network of footpaths) for the more active, catch up for a delicious breakfast in our large dining room, or in the beautiful gardens at Polehanger. You might want to make it a pamper weekend and enlist the help of our masseuse – or our beautician for a facial, manicure or pedicure. The more active among you may hit the tennis court or play some badminton/croquet/table tennis. Or you may just want to soak up the sun and put the world to rights with your besties.
An afternoon of painting can be organised - or perhaps make yourself a beautiful flower crown with our florist team. Its always a giggle and the perfect complement to your country stay.
If you want a night out, look no further than Hitchin – a great local town with an abundance of bars and restaurants. Book a table and a taxi and it will make for a great night out. If you want to stay closer to home in our farmhouse country stay, why not bring in a private chef to whip you up a delicious meal? They’ll do all the cooking – and the washing up!

“We had an absolutely smashing time staying at The Farmhouse to celebrate my mothers 80th birthday!
The kingsize rooms were all a five star standard, the whole place beautifully decorated, clean, fresh and inviting.
There was more than enough room for 9 of us to mill around and socialise, and it was a huge help that we could bring our Australian Shepherd dog to stay too.”

“We visited the Farmhouse at Polehanger for a 70th birthday weekend. With so many different age groups it had plenty to entertain us all. The children played on the tennis courts all day and used the fire pit at night to roast marshmallows! There was plenty of room for us all and the dining room was a great place for us to have our birthday meal. Thank you to Andrew and Charlotte for being great hosts. I would definitely recommend staying here and we all can’t wait to return.”

“What a great place. Charlotte was wonderful at contacting us before we arrived and was reachable during and after our stay. It was lovely arriving in a warm, clean house with comfy beds made and lots of bits to make our stay relaxing and enjoyable (logs for the fire, tea, coffee, sugar that sort of thing)
The house itself is fantastic, we were 8 adults and 2 children and it fit us all with lots of room to spare. I’d highly recommend staying”
