Hannah, Will and their family made us feel so welcome, their hospitality was what really made this holiday perfect. The location is absolutely idyllic and the huge array of animals, dens and rope swings kept the children entertained. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay here, one of the most enjoyable family holidays we've had.

Absolutely fantastic and so relaxing

Mrs Chapman rates Feather Down Farms Manor Farm with a 10

We go to Featherdown to slow down and Manor Farm is the perfect place to unwind. The kids were as free range as the chickens and soon made new friends. They loved playing in the hay while we loved getting a fire going and slow cooking. We were all very sad to leave.

A wonderful opportunity to enjoy a slower pace of life and connect as a family.

Mrs Douglass rates Feather Down Farms Moor Farm with a 10

We had the best weekend at Moor Farm. Farmer Richard was brilliant - he's passionate and extremely knowledgeable and we appreciated the way he encouraged the children to embrace farm life and get involved - they loved every second. Wonderful set up where life slows down enabling you to truly relax. Pizza night was excellent and great value for money, plus we met some lovely people. Fab to have the pool as well. Thank you, we will be back!

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.”
