This was such a peaceful and relaxing stay. The amenities were excellent and the whole area was incredibly quiet, which made it easy to unwind. We met Frank, who was very friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed being around the farm animals—especially the beautiful horses, the large gentle bull, and the very friendly farm cat who wandered over to say hello. It added such a lovely touch to the stay. The property was also super convenient, just an easy 20-minute drive out of Tamworth. Overall, a wonderful rural escape that I’d absolutely recommend.

What a brilliant place to stay just outside Tamworth. We were lucky enough to arrive just as Debbie and her grandson were about to feed the animals. We had lots of goats running around and geese with some babies in tow. A beautiful sunset over the hills and a lovely, flat paddock to set the tents up. Flushing toilets and a hot shower were a bonus as was the firepit would definitely recommend to others.

Weekend Trip to Sheffield B&B Farm stay Tamworth

Location was good not too far out of Tamworth, land was flat and had easy access. Shared toilets were clean, but shower not very private. Centrally located campfire for all guests to share, timber provided which was great. More like caravan park feel due to lots of guests /sites close together. Good experience overall, the only issue was sprinklers were placed to close to our tent so our stuff and tent got watered.

Such a beautiful place, peaceful, kids were happy and to adventure around. Hosts were so wonderful, Kind and helpful had a good yarn with them during our stay, they let our kids be involved in animal feeding times and let them brush the ponies. Even allowed the kids to use the swingset when the gooses won’t around with their baby’s. My kids got friendly with other kids that were there and explored together. Definitely will be staying here again. Having a shower and toilet access facility was handy for our stay too. There was some magic golden hour sunsets/sunrises too! Thank-you guys again!
