Our Services

Ruffles Hen Hotel

Ruffles Hen Hotel offers a home-from-home eggs-perience for your feathered friends on the edge of the small village of Kingsdon, Somerset and can offer your hens, along with their chap if they have one, the ultimate Bed and Breakfast egg-scape to the country.

If you have a holiday booked, and maybe unsure of the best option for ensuring continuity of care for your chickens, we offer your hens their own dedicated Eglu coop with a securely fenced run at our home.

Western Farm Ethical Eggs

Ruffles is based at Western Farm, a small holding with various livestock. We also keep our own small semi-commercial mixed breed and age flock of 120 hens who produce fabulous rich yolked flavoursome eggs

We give our hens considerably more space than the industry regulations require us to and ensure the well-being of each individual hen

Ruffles Holiday Pet Care Services

Here at Ruffles we know that sometimes you need to go away and you'd like your pets cared for in their own home, and for this we offer a daily visiting service if you are within our local area.

Client Testimonials

"Bex looked after my bantams and rooster over the winter months as we moved house and it took longer then expected to build the new hen pen due to severe wet weather. I knew immediately that I could de-stress about the hen situation when I saw her set up, she knows everything there is to know about hen welfare. The hen pen is super clean with luxury Aubiose bedding, it’s fox proof and protected from all the elements; be it strong gales, torrential rain, blazing hot sun; I knew my flock would be safe. She updated me with photos and videos, they always looked so fluffy and healthy in the photos and when I picked them up they actually looked better then when I dropped them off…will definitely use again when on holiday."
