Woods Meadow Lodges are situated on our family farm, Church Farm in the Kentish village of Ryarsh. The family has been farming here for over 40 years and it continues to be a working arable farm. After taking over the running of the farm in 2020 Richard and Liesl sought a diversification scheme to support it. Various options were considered but opening luxury holiday lodges was the preference. The scheme took almost three years to come to fruition and we now love to welcome guests to Woods Meadow!
