About this property
Character Cottage with Private Pool and Mountain Views
This characterful 3 bedroom south-west facing house is on the Mother's Garden farm of Maggie Whitman, writer Martin Kirby and their children Ella and Joe Joe, known to millions from the very first NO GOING BACK documentary on Channel 4.
Martin's books, No Going Back - Journey to Mother's Garden and Shaking The Tree, has brought visitors from around the world to Maggie and Martin's door. The farm of vines, olives and almonds is in the beautiful Priorat mountains, south of Barcelona and just 40 minutes from Reus Airport, Tarragona and the beach.
And the location will appeal greatly to food and wine enthusiasts, bird watchers, walkers or anyone seeking a taste of real Spain or simply wanting a holiday with a difference. Children are very welcome indeed - and if needed Universal Studios Porta Aventura is just 40 minutes away.
Our farmhouse is just 50 metres away, and we are on hand to ensure you have a wonderful time, whatever your age.

About the host
Hosted by Maggie Whitman
Maggie Whitman, Martin Kirby and their two children have lived and farmed at Mother's Garden since 2001.
They and their home were featured in the No Going Back television documentaries, and Martin has written two books - NO GOING BACK Journey to Mother's Garden, and SHAKING THE TREE -about their search for time and a life closer to nature.
“More than 1000 people from around the world have made their way to The Garden, for many reasons – peace, culture, birding, walking, food,” said Maggie. “We will continue to offer accommodation at our cottage until 2016. Please come if you are interested in this different way of life.”
Martin and Maggie also run the Mother’s Garden premium extra virgin olive oil business, exporting fresh, award-winning olive oil to the UK.
