All diets are catered for, served in the cosy dining room which is warmed by the wood burner on those cold winter mornings.
The house itself is surrounded with well stocked, beautiful cottage style gardens which guests are welcome to browse at their leisure, or maybe even participate in a game of croquet. If you feel like a stroll we have two fishing pools just a short walk away. There are plenty of pubs, bars and restaurants nearby to suit everyone's taste, the nearest being a two minute walk away.

A Little History...
Originally built as a tiny shepherd's cottage in 1640, Parkside Farm as it stands today with its grand façade was completed in 1870. It is one of the most attractive and interesting buildings in Boningale with a rich and fascinating history.
It has been in the Shanks family as a working farm for two generations and is set in beautiful gardens - the perfect place to relax and unwind.
Parkside is the former residence of a local villain, Jonathon Wilde, whose career began when he famously supplied the local church with a bell of dubious origins. He continued his career in London running a brothel and various shady establishments.
He came to a sticky end and was hung at Tyeburn in 1726 before a crowd of 20,000, and later John Gray based his character Peacham on him in his play the Beggars Opera.
