What we offer
A proper farmhouse welcome
Every stay at Brindle Farm comes with the small touches that turn a night away into something worth remembering.
Farmhouse Breakfast
Sausages and bacon from the butcher in Botley, eggs from our own Marans hens, slow-baked tomatoes, and warm sourdough — served at the long oak table from 8 o'clock.
Farm Walks & wildlife
Guests are welcome to wander the meadow trail, meet the Gloucester Old Spot pigs, and watch barn owls hunting at dusk over the River Hamble valley.
Easy Parking & Wi-Fi
Private off-road parking right by the door, fast fibre Wi-Fi throughout the farmhouse, and a quiet guest lounge with log burner for cooler evenings.
Dogs Welcome
Two of our rooms are dog-friendly. Bring one well-behaved dog at no extra charge — there's a hose for muddy paws and towel-lined baskets in every room.
Local Days Out
Secure bike storage, packed lunches on request, and a shelf of marked maps for the Itchen Way, South Downs, and New Forest — all within a short drive.
Our story
Forty years of farmhouse hospitality
Brindle Farm has been in the Hartwell family since 1984, when John and Margaret swapped a terrace in Shirley for thirty acres of clay and a sagging stone barn. What began as a smallholding of chickens and a couple of Hereford cows slowly grew into the mixed farm you see today.
In 2009, their daughter Ruth returned from a decade abroad, restored the old dairy, and opened the four guest rooms. The farm still keeps free-range hens, a small herd of Gloucester Old Spot pigs, and a kitchen garden that supplies the breakfast table through the summer.
- Genuine farm life — guests are welcome to help collect the morning eggs.
- Slow mornings — breakfast runs until 9:30, checkout is 11am, no rushing.
- Honest pricing — from £95 per room, including breakfast and parking.
With warm regards, Ruth Hartwell Your host at Brindle Farm
The kind of place you check into for one night and try to extend to three. Ruth's breakfast is worth the journey on its own — and the barn owls over the meadow at dusk are pure magic.
