Tilnik Farm - Holiday Farmhouse

Welcome to Tilnik Farm!

Tilnik is a small village of four houses, situated on a ridge with views of the Idrijca river valley and Porezon Mountain (1630m, home page, main photograph). The village is surrounded by wild hay meadows, fruit trees and forest, with a stream flowing through the middle.

Tilnik Farm is run by Brett and Kate Bedford who re-located to Slovenia in 2005. They bought the main farmhouse of the village, a typical Slovene stone building (for curing salamis and prosciutt), large barn, and 13 hectares of fruit trees, grassland and forest.

The overall aim is to have a self-sufficient enterprise combining eco-tourism with environmentally friendly farming, including animals(sheep, goats and chickens, providing fresh eggs, dairy and meat), a vegetable garden, organic hay meadows and renewable fuel(firewood, hydro electric and solar powered energy).

The farmhouse has been renovated and divided into two, spacious, luxury apartments sympathetically restored and in keeping with the original building. Both Apartments are available for guests on a self- catering basis, or it can be part or fully catered from home produced farm delicacies.

There are many farm activities guests can take part in if they choose for example helping with the animals, harvesting,

firewood preparation, gardening and fruit picking.

For relaxation and recuperation, Kate is a Professional Sports Massage Therapist with a selection of massages on offer to guests.
