There's the Acton Scott Farm website..

http://www.actonscott.com/

and for Henley Cottage...

It looks expensive during the high session at around £800 - £900 a week. But there is a camp site.

Thanks for posting the link! Think I might give it a miss tho' - I enjoyed the series but prefer my home comforts!

I'm lucky in that we live about 30 mins from Acton Scott. Its been a working farm for years and I visited it when I was at school(quite a long time ago:o:D) as did my children - all in the days before the tv show.
Its in an area well worth a visit or a holiday and quite close to Ludlow which is a beautiful town with a castle.
Be nice to think of lots of OSers visiting the area!:T

Ruth Goodham is doing a course at the Weald and Down Museum on May 5th on Victorian Cleaning. I would love to go but it's a little too far to travel!

But it is my birthday on the 1st of May, so maybe I'll flutter my eyelashes at hubby...

Well, one can always wish.
