Activities - Riverbank Farm

Self-Drive Land Rover

If you’ve booked A property between April and October*, we have included a Classic Defender so you can drive around your estate in old school country style? A classic Land Rover Defender 110 is provided for your use whilst at Riverbank Farm (subject to availability). Self-drive off road around the boundaries of the fields of Riverbank Farm, for fun, or maybe for a picnic, or consider berry picking (in October). We have Land Rover Defenders that can carry up to 11 passengers plus the driver.

*November to March it's often a bit too wet for the off-road bit as it causes too much damage to the green lanes. Road Hire is still possible on request.

Hot Tub

Unwind in your own private hot tub, the perfect way to end a day of exploring. Warm, inviting, and exclusively yours throughout your stay, it’s an ideal spot to soak under the stars, relax with a glass of something special, and make your getaway feel truly luxurious.

The Dog House

Dingle Dell is doggie friendly for up to 3 dogs, they even get their own lounge in “The Dog House.” This is a log cabin games room with a large sofa where you can all relax together, especially useful if doggies need a little drying off time after some adventures in the farm stream.
