Dinner, Bed & Breakfast at The Farmhouse at Redcoats
Foodie Staycation
Calling all food lovers. Whether you’re planning a romantic night away or the perfect escape with a fellow foodie, our Foodie Staycation is designed around the things we do best… good food, comfortable rooms and time to properly switch off.
Set in the Hertfordshire countryside just outside Hitchin, The Farmhouse at Redcoats has always been about warm hospitality and food cooked with care. A stay with us is led by the kitchen, shaped by the seasons and rooted in where we are.
Arrive, settle in and enjoy a relaxed evening in the restaurant before heading upstairs for a cosy night’s sleep, followed by breakfast the next morning and time to explore at your own pace.
From just £260 for two people, the Foodie Staycation includes a three course farm to fork dinner, an overnight stay in one of our welcoming bedrooms, and a hearty Farmhouse breakfast. Alongside great food, you’ll have the chance to enjoy the surrounding countryside, wander the Redcoats rambles, or head into the nearby historic market town of Hitchin.

Dinner: Farm-to-Fork Dining
Food sits at the heart of every stay here. Our restaurant holds two AA Rosettes and follows a farm-to-fork philosophy, championing seasonal ingredients, trusted local suppliers and produce grown just outside the door in our own no dig garden.
Menus change with the seasons and reflect what’s at its best at the time, focusing on flavour, comfort and generosity rather than fuss. As part of your Foodie Staycation, you’ll enjoy a three course dinner in the restaurant, a chance to settle in, enjoy a good bottle and let the evening unfold naturally.
Whether it’s your first visit or a return stay, dinner is very much a highlight.
BED: Stay The Night
Sometimes we all need a night away to reset, and there’s no better place to do just that than here at the Farmhouse at Redcoats. After a relaxed evening of good food and wine, retreat upstairs to one of our welcoming bedrooms and let the pace slow right down.
Plush beds, thoughtful details and countryside quiet set the tone, making it easy to switch off completely. Stay the night, enjoy breakfast in the morning, and wake up feeling rested and ready to take the day at your own pace. Rates start from £260 for a standard room, with options to upgrade subject to availability. Well behaved dogs are welcome in select rooms by prior arrangement, so no one has to miss out on a night away.
We’re proud to be featured in Cool Places, The Good Hotel Guide and recognised by the AA Guide, but what matters most to us is that our guests leave feeling well fed, well rested and genuinely looked after.
BREAKFAST: A Great Start To Your Day
The next morning, breakfast is served in the stunning Old Kitchen and included as part of your stay. Freshly prepared and unhurried, it’s a lovely way to ease into the day, whether you’re heading out for a countryside walk or lingering a little longer over coffee.
Choose from Farmhouse classics including a full English, eggs Florentine, Benedict or Royale, warming porridge, vegetarian options, a selection of cereals and freshly baked pastries. It’s generous, comforting and cooked with the same care and attention as the rest of our menus.

Places to Visit: Hertfordshire Countryside on your Doorstep
Surrounded by Hertfordshire countryside, The Farmhouse at Redcoats is perfectly placed for a gentle escape. The Redcoats rambles offer countryside walks straight from our doorstep, ideal for a pre dinner stroll or a post breakfast wander, with open views and space to slow the pace.
We’re also just a five minute drive from the historic market town of Hitchin, known for its independent shops, cafés and lively market. Many guests enjoy spending a few hours exploring the town before returning to the calm of the countryside for dinner and a relaxed evening.
If you’re keen to explore a little further afield, nearby places worth a visit include Knebworth House and gardens, the green open spaces of Letchworth Garden City, and the surrounding Hertfordshire villages dotted with walking routes. It’s an easy base for discovering the area, while still feeling tucked away once you’re back at the Farmhouse.
A Foodie Stay for Every Season
A Foodie Staycation at the Farmhouse at Redcoats works beautifully all year round, with each season bringing its own pace and character.
In autumn and winter, the countryside feels crisp and calm. Days often start with a bracing walk across the Redcoats rambles, followed by afternoons spent warming up by the fire. Evenings are all about comforting, seasonal dishes, good bottles opened, and settling in for a relaxed night indoors as the light fades.
Spring and summer bring a lighter feel. The gardens burst into life, the kitchen shifts with the seasons, and longer days invite drinks outside before dinner. There’s time to wander, linger over lunch, and enjoy the countryside at a gentler pace, with the Farmhouse feeling open, relaxed and full of energy.
Whatever the season, the focus remains the same. Thoughtful food, warm hospitality and the time and space to enjoy both, without rushing.
Foodie Staycations start from £260 for two people and include dinner, bed and breakfast at The Farmhouse at Redcoats.
