Feltham's Farm sits on 22 acres of certified organic land in the Blackmore Vale, near Templecombe in Somerset, and offers two self-catering stays on a working farm run by award-winning cheesemakers Marcus Fergusson and Penny Nagle. The Organic Cabin is a beautifully converted building with polished concrete floors, underfloor heating, two double bedrooms and floor-to-ceiling bifold doors that open out onto a wild garden of verbena, yarrow and marigolds. The Organic Cottage is a more traditional two-bedroom country retreat with a wood-fired stove, plenty of free firewood and a cosy, characterful feel. Both sleep four adults, are fully equipped and look onto a shared barn courtyard with a fire pit and outdoor dining. The old orchard has a tree house and slide, and there's a trampoline and hammocks for summer stays. Together they make an ideal base for two families wanting to be nearby but in separate accommodation. Staying here means staying on a proper working farm. Guests can watch the cheese being made on most weekday mornings, help feed the animals, and buy lamb, pork, eggs, seasonal salad, jams and of course the farm's own award-winning cheeses direct from the door. The farm runs on solar panels and ground source heat pumps, and everything from the linen to the local cider they provide reflects the same ethos that runs through everything Marcus and Penny do. The West Country is right on the doorstep - Bristol and the Jurassic Coast are within an hour and Templecombe station puts London just two hours away.

What do you produce?

Award-winning organic cheeses made on the farm in Somerset's Blackmore Vale. The range includes Renegade Monk, a soft blue washed in organic ale, Rebel Nun, Gert Lush, La Fresca Margarita and Lucky Marcel, which won Supreme Champion at the World Cheese Awards 2024. All made using milk from a single local herd and certified organic by the Soil Association.
