About
Coes Farm is a family-run, 500-year-old estate in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the High Weald, East Sussex.
The 50-acre farm includes formal gardens, lake, wild woodland, sheep, chickens, geese, an organic cider orchard, and 5 acres of organic vines. Our facilities include an indoor pool with hot tub, games room and tennis court.
We moved to Coes Farm as a family in 2020 so that we could plant an organic vineyard and make natural wines.
We all work on the farm together and love having guests to stay in our accommodation. As a small step towards self-sufficiency we grow a lot of our own produce in our kitchen garden and we have a tiny honesty shop on site where you can buy wild garlic salt and home-made jams & chutneys.
We were keen to ensure the estate was as eco-friendly as possible, so we put in a geothermal ground source system and Solar PV panels, and planted 5000 native-species trees on the land. We have also added 150 cider apple trees to the existing orchard.
The vineyard and orchard are in organic conversion and we use biodynamic preparations on the land. Our winemakers, Daniel & Nicola Ham at Offbeat ensure our wines are made naturally with no added yeast, unfiltered and with no added sulphites.
Our holiday accommodation on site includes:
- The Granary – a 1-bedroomed cottage
- The Orangery – a studio with bedroom kitchen and patio area
- Pigeon Hole & The Sett – two fully-equipped shepherd’s huts.
Guests have access to the indoor swimming pool with hot tub and the tennis court.
