Fantastic. Want to go back. I hope that other Feather Down Farms are as impressive as East Shiv (& Martin specifically).

Mrs Dermott rates Feather Down Farms East Shilvinghampton Farm with a 10

Wonderful......a simply magical experience

Mrs Dete rates Feather Down Farms New Barn Farm with a 10

A warm welcome from the farmer Guy Douglas and his wife Meg and a brilliant introduction to these safari style tents. All the good bits about camping and none of the faff because it’s been done for you. Oh, and a fantastic wood-burning stove (sadly not something I’ve been able to fit in the car on previous family trips...) not only keeps you toasty warm but with a GIANT kettle on the top keeps you in hot drinks all day. Solid cabin-style bunk beds, double beds, beds in cubby holes mean there’s something for everyone and all seemed v comfortable (we didn’t do a Goldilocks but slept only in the large double!) with superior crisp, white linen. We went to sleep to the sound of waves and owls; does it get actually get any better? We also loved the Pantry honesty shop and the helpful daily information board with ideas. We walked the coastline, admired multiple ruined castles and ate in excellent pubs and restaurants. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Very peaceful, lovely site, beautiful views, great welcome.

Mr. Barnfield rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

Our first ever glamping holiday and I cannot believe how relaxing it was. The "tent" was spacious and clean and exceed our expectations. We would recommend Warren Farm to anyone that has not already visited. James and Kate are very friendly hosts and only too willing to answer any questions asked of them. The Farm tour (it's a BIG farm) was both educational and very entertaining...you will be surprised at just exactly what is on the Warren Farm land form Caves to Burial Grounds. James s a very knowledgeable geologist by all accounts. The location overlooks the Gorge at Chedder and offers great sunsets while relaxing with a glass of wine. The shower block is very clean, with both hot electric showers and underfloor heating and also has a family room to make getting the kids sorted out much easier. The honesty shop is well stocked and well priced and just made things easy. No phone signal...who cares!Definitely would be willing to revisit and would have no hesitation in recommending Warren Farm to friends and family. A++

Mrs Evans rates Feather Down Farms Pant y March with a 10

Fantastic ‘back to nature’ experience, with all the good bits and none of the drawbacks. Lovely comfortable tent with super beds and we loved the hot outdoor showers, lots of fun.

Mrs Vince rates Feather Down Farms Pant y March with a 10

Fantastic family holiday. The location is stunning and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. We would have loved to have stayed longer. Hopefully we can come back again!

Dr. Nguyen-Van-Tam rates Feather Down Farms Pant y March with a 10

Fabulous fun. A genuine alternative to other types of family holiday. More relaxed, more secluded (only one other tent) and altogether more time for each other (no electricity, TV, commercialisation to distract). Geraint and Llinos could not have been more welcoming hosts. Everyone knows it rains a lot in Wales but we still had a brilliant time and remained really comfortable inside the tent. The log burners are all easy to operate, and the hot tub is fabulous fun. We all loved the views of Lake Bala (Llyn Tegid) and the freedom to roam the fields of farm. But the boys especially loved the chickens, the pet lambs and going out with Ben the sheepdog and Geraint. The honesty shop is very useful and absolutely fairly priced for basics and saves a trip into Bala.

Mrs Roberts rates Feather Down Farms Treganhoe Farm with a 10

The loveliest of hosts and an idyllic location. We preordered the warm welcome and arrival meal which after a long journey was ideal. Highly recommend Sue’s delicious home cooked food, fresh bread and bbq pack from the honesty shop. We enjoyed pizza night too. We thoroughly enjoyed our week stay and wished to have stayed a few days more.

Mrs Weeks rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

The best yet. A brilliant farm and host, we had a wonderful time at College Farm.

Mrs. Tarlow rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

We had a wonderful time despite damp weather. Lucy and Marcus were really friendly and helpful and brilliant with our children, who loved feeding the lambs, grooming the horse and colelcting the eggs. The tent was very comfortable and warm, the view is idyllic.

Mr. Suiter rates Feather Down Farms Hidcote Manor Farm with a 8.8

Location was lovely and the surrounding areas. There are loads of attractions all within 20 miles which we could not all fit in. The honesty shop was not worth having compared to others we have seen and it was a shame that during the second week of August we were the only people there for the entire week all the other tents were empty all week, which may sound nice to some people but felt very quiet and lonely especially for the kids. Apart from that the weather was great and we had a good time.

Mrs Radmall rates Feather Down Farms Chesters with a 10

A lovely peaceful place to stay with great views from the tent and hot tub

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.”
