From the owner

The Creamery is a beautifully converted barn located on our family farm in the rolling Hertfordshire countryside. With a woodburning stove, exposed beams and sunny terrace, the Creamery is a fantastic place to stay all year round. Whether you like walking, cycling, visiting the many local attractions or historical towns (such as Cambridge, St Albans, Hertford, Duxford, Harry Potter Studio etc) or want a base close to London but away from the hustle and bustle this is the place for you.

The Creamery is a stunning 2 bedroom property with a large family bathroom. Each bedroom has a double bed and a single bed can be added to the larger bedroom on request to sleep up to 5 guests. Children and 1 small pet are welcome.

The Creamery is located less than a mile from 2 pubs, farm shop and a cafe and only 15 minutes from Stevenage where you can catch the train directly into London (20 mins). It is set in a courtyard with two other properties - The Parlour and The Dairy, which are also available for short breaks.

    Thank you for your review Peter - the curtain is now back as promised (it was away for cleaning), and we intend to oil the bed once we have a day that the Creamery is unoccupied. We are very glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise, and hope you come back and visit some time! Many thanks, Emma
