Adapted from Maggie O’Farrell’s bestselling novel, Oscar-tipped period drama Hamnet is dazzling cinemagoers – and now, thanks to the National Trust, fans can book into stay at one of its key locations.
The movie’s Hathaway farm, a Grade II-listed Jacobean farmhouse, will be available to rent from March.
Cwmmau Farmhouse is found in a scenic corner of Hertfordshire, about 70 miles west of the real Hathaway Cottage in Stratford-upon-Avon.
In Hamnet, it’s at this location that Jessie Buckley’s Agnes Hathaway first meets William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal).
Director Chloé Zhao and her cast filmed there in the summer of 2024, with the nearby village of Weobley doubling for Stratford itself.
‘Cwmmau Farmhouse, with its stone base, timber framing and leaded windows, is one of those rare places where the past feels close at hand,’ says National Trust cultural heritage curator, Lucy Armstrong-Blair. ‘The production team were so thoughtful and careful with this house, director Chloé Zhao, Production Designer Fiona Crombie, everything they did amped up what was already here.’
‘It’s an amazing Tudor house,’ Hamnet production designer Fiona Crombie tells Time Out. ‘We painted, we did heaps of work there: interior, exterior, we planted all the gardens, we re-fenced, we built barn structures. We were there for weeks prepping.’
The five-bedroom property sleeps 10, with four‑poster beds and a large, enclosed garden. Seven nights’ stay will set you back £2,645.
