There is space to relax, space to listen, and space to embark on an adventure amidst abundant wildlife.
We have an 89 bed market garden, fermentation room, orchard, bee hives and free range farm onsite, meaning that much of the produce is from Spicers Hidden Vale itself and anything that’s not, is collected directly from nearby farms.
