Fun , freedom, open space. Lovely to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Anna and Mike couldn't have been more helpful. It was a fun holiday in a beautiful location.

Mrs. Broad rates Feather Down Farms Manor Farm with a 10

We've never been glamping before but our trip to Manor Farm was fabulous. So relaxing and enjoyable. Great view from our tent, the campsite was the perfect balance between home comforts and getting back to basics. Don't be in a rush to do anything.. just keep the fires stoked! Great shower and even better hot tub. Plenty of good places to visit, or just laze around and do nothing! Our dog Hugo also had a great time!

We loved East Shilvinghampton Farm. The farmer and his wife really look after everybody. Lovely extras such as lots of fridge and freezer space in the Hospitality Shop; Joby in particular cooks and delivers to the tent fantastic food for every meal. A great farm tour. Good shower block. This area of Dorset is also great for lots to do for days on end. _x000D_ _x000D_ We love it - which is why we came back and will be back again.

Read Muddy Stilettos review

Muddy Stilettos stayed at Billingsmoor farm in Devon, agreeing that the ‘top-of-the-crops’ hat fits to a T. From learning about dairy farming to relaxing in the steaming hot tub and watching her kids roam free, Harriet enjoyed an off-grid stay ”in some of the most beautiful countryside Britain has to offer.”
