About Hamatethy
Hamatethy is cared for by people committed to restoring the land while sharing it thoughtfully with others. It is a place shaped by long-term thinking, quiet ambition and a belief that people and nature are one.
Why Hamatethy
The current chapter at Hamatethy began with a desire to care for the land differently. Inspired by a love of nature, the owners began allowing natural processes to lead, restoring biodiversity and resilience over time.
The aim was never to create a destination in the conventional sense, but to look after the land responsibly and open the place in a way that felt generous, honest and aligned with its surroundings.
Why this place matters
Hamatethy sits within a varied and sensitive landscape, stretching from river valley to open moor. Over time, changes to farming, water management and habitat restoration have revealed what is possible when land is given the chance to recover.
Caring for this place means thinking in decades rather than seasons, and making decisions that support both wildlife and the people who spend time here. It is a place where people can explore the connections between all living things.
Sustainability in Action
Hamatethy is part of a living rewilding landscape, where nature is not simply preserved, but gently restored. We try to tread lightly on the land. Our produce is organic and we try to avoid plastic and harmful chemicals. All of our electricity comes either from water or the sun.
Every stay plays a small but meaningful role in this ongoing work. From thoughtful restoration to low-impact living, we approach sustainability with care, transparency, and a desire to share our experience.

Those who care for the place
Hamatethy is supported by a small group of people who know the house and land well. You are welcomed by an on-site host who helps ensure each stay runs smoothly, while respecting privacy and individual preferences.
During your time here you can meet experts and conservation partners who will share their local knowledge.
