We had the most fantastic few days. We were in a group of four families with 10 children in total ranging from 9 years to 18 months and they all absolutely loved it. It was our first glamping experience and we are definitely looking to book again for next year.

Ms. Dumbleton rates Feather Down Farms Hidcote Manor Farm with a 10

We had a super time, recharged batteries, and just had some fantastic quality family time in the fresh air! The local walks right from the tent were easily accessible and as long or short as you want. We cooked outside most evenings and watched the sunset over the trees. We love our glamping holidays with Featherdown and Hidcote is our favourite destination so far!

Mr Chapman rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

A fantastic, relaxing long weekend! Despite the not particularly holiday-friendly weather, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the farm: the kids entertainment facilities were second to none; we enjoyed getting hands on with the animals and feeding the chickens; James and Kate were the most welcoming and friendly hosts, and the accommodation was delightful. The whole place was incredibly clean, friendly and relaxing - thank you!

We love staying here, plenty to do & things to explore. The hot tub is a great addition, my boys lives playing in it & collecting the wood for the fires. The safari tents are great at getting back to basics & enjoying the countryside.

Wherever you are in the UK, you'll find a Feather Down farm within 2-3 hours travel time from your home - the perfect distance for a short break to disconnect from every day life. And if you fancy a farm holiday a little further afield, you'll find Feather Down farms in countries across Europe too.

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.”
