Dyson Farming Leisure Cottages

About us

Dyson Farming Leisure offers a collection of self-catering holiday cottages set on and around working farmland across Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, West Berkshire and the Cotswolds. Each has been thoughtfully restored from a redundant farm building, from traditional barns to a historic stone Horse Gin, creating unique countryside stays that combine modern comfort and authentic rural character.

Our holiday cottages are ideal for couples, families, groups of friends and anyone looking for dog-friendly accommodation in the countryside.

Our story

Dyson Farming Leisure grew out of the land itself. Long before we welcomed our first guest, this was working farm country. And that’s still what you’ll find when you stay with us.
Staying with us means experiencing life on a real working farm, with views across rolling golden fields, nearly 40km of hedgerows and, at The Grange, even Dyson Farming’s strawberry glasshouse just across the road. Every stay has its own character, shaped by the building and the land it sits on, and looked after by a small team who know every property personally.

What we offer

Real cottages in real locations

Our cottages are made for muddy boots after a countryside walk, family meals around the table and evenings spent unwinding, rather than being styled simply for social media.

Views that change with the seasons

Every cottage sits within a landscape where no two visits are the same. Wake up to fields of wheat, flowering oilseed rape, towering maize or perfectly aligned rows of potatoes. Look a little further to see grazing cattle, thriving hedgerows, woodland and habitats for red-listed farmland birds, all playing their part in the regenerative farming system that shapes the landscape around you.

Looked after by people, not a platform

Every stay is managed by a small, local team. If something needs fixing or explaining, you’ll speak to someone who knows the property inside and out.

What is it like staying on a working farm?
Staying on a working farm means experiencing the countryside as it really is. Farming continues throughout the year – that means tractors in the fields, livestock grazing nearby, crops growing and wildlife thriving in carefully managed habitats. You’ll experience a genuine connection to the landscape rather than a staged visitor attraction.
Why choose a working farm holiday?
A stay on a working farm offers something different from a holiday park or city-centre hotel. Wake up to changing landscapes, experience the story of the farming seasons and enjoy peaceful countryside where nature and food production work side-by-side. Whether you're looking for a family holiday, a romantic escape or a chance to reconnect with nature, a farm stay offers an authentic way to experience the English countryside.

Where you'll find us

You’ll find our self-catering cottages across our four distinctive areas of England:

Lincolnshire wide skies, quiet lanes, rolling farmland and centuries of history, right on the doorstep.

Oxfordshire and West Berkshire downland views and historic market towns within easy reach of the region’s biggest events.

The Cotswolds honey-stone villages and slower, softer countryside with cities of culture close by.
