Among these policies is a "no pet" policy. Additionally, only people 16 years old or older are allowed to stay at the property. Nick and Tim say that they believe that keeping younger children from being in the home helps maintain the "peaceful atmosphere" and "the countryside charm." The owners state that they work to be available for their customers and to meet their needs during their stay at the property. The owners state that they both live on the property, ensuring that they can be more consistently available for their guests.
According to Nick and Tim, the most common demographics of the customers of Home Farm Bed and Breakfast are those who wish to see the countryside and nature and or visit the attractions in the region. Additionally, the owners say that many come for the nearby property and business people have come to the property due to not wanting to stay in a chain hotel. The bed and breakfast has received multiple reviews throughout its time of operation. One past guest of the property described their experience during their stay as such: "This is a lovely building. Our room was excellent, and there was plenty of hot water at all times. It was very clean and comfortable. Cooked breakfast was great on both days, and the owner was very friendly and enthusiastic."
The property that is now known as Home Farm Bed and Breakfast was originally constructed in the early 1700s as a farmhouse that was part of a larger farming community in the area. The property functioned as a farmhouse and dairy until the 1960s. In the 1960s, the farmhouse was converted into a private residence and functioned as a private residence until the year 2004.
In 2004 the property was purchased and converted into Home Farm Bed and Breakfast. The original owners of the bed and breakfast installed private bathrooms into each of the units available for reservation. They furnished the house with decorations made from old farm tools that were used when the property still functioned as a farmhouse and dairy. The original owners still live on the property and lease out the bed and breakfast to the current owners and managers of the business. In addition, the original owners spend some of their time maintaining the gardens on the property.
In November of 2021, Nick and Tim obtained ownership of Farm Bed and Breakfast. Nick was previously working in an airport before deciding to change his occupation. He says that he especially enjoys "the freedom [he feels] from having the ability to make [his] own mark on something." During his time as owner of the Home Farm Bed and Breakfast, Nick has replaced multiple older amenities in the home, adding some more modern amenities, including furniture, televisions, wifi, and bathroom items. The owners also have plans to construct a patio outside of the house for guests to spend their time during their stay and to continue to modernize the home while still maintaining what they call "the countryside charm of the building."
