What suits a group here
The outdoor table in the garden lends itself to long, shared meals, and there is also a dining area with wooden tables. The lawn, pavilion and hammocks let people drift off in twos and threes, and an evening bonfire brings everyone back together. Camping is possible on request, which may suit groups who like the idea of tents under the trees.
Group size, sleeping arrangements and meals all depend on what the hosts can arrange for your dates, so ask rather than assume.
What to put in your enquiry
The more the hosts know, the better they can plan. Include the number of adults and children, your dates and arrival times, whether anyone would like to camp, the meals you hope to share, any dietary needs and the occasion, if there is one. If you would like a cake or a particular dish, ask whether it can be arranged or whether you should bring it yourself.
Send your request from the stay page. The hosts will confirm availability, the price and the terms before anything is booked.
Celebrating considerately
A farm is a home as well as a place to stay, with animals and neighbours nearby. Agree with the hosts about music and late evenings, leave the bonfire in their hands, and make sure Coco and Leo can find a quiet spot if things get lively. Leave the garden as you found it.
Before you go, a group handprint session at the Make Memories wall makes a good photograph to remember the day.
Travelling as a group
Coordinating several people on hill roads takes longer than you expect. Agree a meeting point, aim to arrive in daylight and allow for the slow, winding final stretch. From Butwal or Bhairahawa, Tansen is close enough for a weekend getaway.
