The Fillings incorporate the wool, flax and

as they are all green and completely natural.
The Grade II listed farm has a unique heritage
tracing back to Roman times. Set in 300
acres of beautiful Yorkshire pasture and
arable land, together with their own flock of
sheep, woods, a river front, protected
hedgerows and a rich diversity of wildlife
and crops. This is the perfect setting to grow
fillings for eco natural bed mattresses. After
purchasing the farm it became apparent that
something should be done with the beautiful
Grade II listed manor house, so work began
on lovingly restoring the house to its former
glory. Along the way many beautiful details of
Georgian and Victorian architecture were
recovered. The Manor is now open for holiday
lettings including 16 bedrooms in four areas
