Mother-and-daughter duo Mandy and Pip Crooks share the story behind the eclectic interiors at The Old Mushroom Farm holiday accommodation. From auction finds and vintage treasures to custom-made pieces, they reveal how artistic licence, characterful objects, and a love of the unexpected shape the Boutique Apartments and much-loved cottages—spaces designed to feel homely, layered, and full of personality.

We know. The word “mushroom” is right there in our name. But you seem to be missing a smaller, but crucial detail: “old.” Long story short, the mushrooms are gone. Not a shiitake in sight. Yet, we still get visitors wandering in with Tupperwares and hopeful eyes asking, “Do you sell mushrooms?”. So let’s settle it once and for all. We invite you to bring your curiosity and explore these fascinating repurposed spaces, at The Formerly-Fungal, Still-Fantastic Old Mushroom Farm. 

There is something deeply satisfying about knowing the story behind the objects in your life. This is an appreciation of the artisans at The Old Mushroom Farm, the makers behind your most treasured goods and savoured meals.
