The Farmhouse at Banbury Farm, located just west of Waterloo, is within easy driving distance of many attractions - Stratford, Mennonite Country, and local farmers' markets. A pleasant get-away from the city, Banbury Farm provides a unique combination of facilities within close proximity to all that Festival Country has to offer!

During your stay at Banbury Farm, visit our horses and emus, or enjoy a hike through the rolling hills surrounding the property. English riding lessons are also available.
