Moors Farm
Bed & Breakfast

House & History

Moors Farmhouse dates from about 1685 and originally consisted of four simple rooms, some of which may have housed livestock. After the Napoleonic wars significant improvements had been made to the road to London which enabled local farms to supply a burgeoning city with cheese, thus increasing their herds and their incomes. Moors Farm illustrates this era well with the cheese-room additions and the brick regency facing on the south front. June's family settled here at the outbreak of WW2 and have been farming it ever since. Much of the surrounding area belongs to the Duchy of Cornwall and borders an ancient deer park pre-dating the first Duke.
