 at weekends and long weekends we are pleased to offer our buildings out to families and groups for a self-catering break.

They are perfect for families or groups, set in the grounds of an organic farm and nature reserve, and only 11 miles from the coast at Lyme Regis. This is a great place for a self-catering stay if you enjoy the outdoors. You are welcome to wander around our farm and enjoy the space.

You can enjoy…

  • Accommodation that is warm, clean and comfortable
  • 132 acres of space to enjoy
  • Woodlands and meadows
  • Cob ovens for making pizza
  • Farm animals to meet
  • A mile of riverbank, ponds and streams
  • Pushchair and wheelchair access to most areas at the heart of the farm
  • Playing field including a zip wire and climbing frame
  • Specialist facilities for people with disabilities including a Gold Standard Changing Place.
  • Firepits for a camp fire outside your accommodation

        We will provide you with some firewood when you arrive.

You will be supporting a charity…

A self catering stay at Magdalen is a wonderful break and also a charitable act. All of the money raised from self catering stays supports the work of the Magdalen Environmental Trust. 

Another way you can help is to leave the place clean and tidy. We thank you for helping us make sure it is ready for the charity’s beneficiary children or families to come and enjoy after you leave. 

Sorry, for this reason, we can’t accommodate stag or hen parties, or pets.

Arriving at Magdalen farm is a breath of fresh air, because both my children and I know that they won’t be judged, they’ll be able to succeed at the activities and this precious holiday will be fun

I feel like you have a winning formula here for us: relaxed, friendly, accepting we can do things at our own pace/on our terms, varied, wholesome (activities and food!) and in contact with nature!

This has just been the highlight of our year, thank you and we already cannot wait for next year

It was great to get a chance to meet other parents and talk knowing your children are safe

This is a very special place where dreams are made. There is nowhere else where staff and the other families understand my children’s needs like Magdalen. We would be lost without this truly amazing facility
