Special offer.
Bonington Farm is the vision of husband-and-wife duo Sonya and Raffaele. With collective backgrounds in design, events, brand collaborations and photography, the farm is their take on the ideal hideout – effortless, characterful, and quietly cool. Set across 15 acres, it’s a collection of 4 special spaces, designed for everything from laid-back weekend breaks to big, sprawling gatherings. A place where fires crackle late, mornings start slow, and the countryside stretches for miles. More than just a stay, the farm plays host to shoots, events, and wellness retreats, offering a backdrop that’s both relaxed and refined. Owners, Sonya and Raffaele
