How accessible is South Farm?

Although we are set in the countryside our venue is fully accessible with paving and pathways around the whole venue and everything on ground floor level. The entrance door into the main farmhouse and French windows out onto the terrace have small thresholds to get over but we have ramps which can be put out on arrival – just let us know that these are required at your Planning Meeting. We also have a rest room with disabled access in the Horse Barn. Accommodation-wise our most accessibly friendly bedroom on site is the Tack Room, this is located near to the Tudor Barn and has a walk in shower and hand rail next to the toilet. At Fen Bridge Farm, our sister B&B down the road, there is fully accessible disabled accommodation for two. Our wedding venue near Royston is also easily accessible from nearby areas by road or rail.

Is there accommodation on site for our guests?

Yes, our small wedding venue in Cambridgeshire can sleep 24 guests in total on-site. We have five main bedrooms, two of which can sleep four. We then have our collection of five Showman’s and Romany Wagons which can each sleep two. In addition we have two camp beds and two travel cots for younger guests. We also have Fen Bridge Farm Bed & Breakfast, 1.4 miles down the road towards Bassingbourn, which is automatically reserved for your wedding and has three double rooms (nb there are two periods each year – the late May Bank Holiday and over Christmas & New Year – when Fen Bridge Farm will be closed and the accommodation will be unavailable). We also allow people to camp – in a tent, caravan or campervan (we have two electric hook ups in the camping area and dedicated bathroom facilities for guest who camp) – there is plenty of room on site!
