Make time for each other

When did you last play cards or a board game by candlelight? It's the perfect end to a full day at a Feather Down farm.

Life with no electricity

Our oil lamps and candles are a gentle reminder that there was a time when the world didn't run on electricity and life was still good.

We all know not to rely on the Great British weather. That’s why Feather Down Farm living can take place just as well indoors as out.

Our guests in their own words

Mrs. Lavender rates Feather Down Farms Billingsmoor Farm with a 10

Really enjoyed this holiday. The farm tour, pizza's from the pizza oven, watching calves being born, playing in the woods and reading by candlelight. An absolutely wonderful experience.

Mrs Luke rates Feather Down Farms Gwel Teg Farm with a 10

Relaxing.

Mrs Pattison rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

Amazing!

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

We were only on the farm for 2 nights but it was a really pleasant experience. Marcus, Lucy and the kiddies were great and helped us settle into our first farm holiday experience. The facilities were great and the children were occupied 100% of the time! Coming back home I don't know how we will ever enjoy pizza/jacket potatoes again without the use of their amazing outdoor stove!!

MR BARNETT rates Feather Down Farms Hidcote Manor Farm with a 8.8

We really enjoyed the experience - farmer John is very nice. We have stayed there twice now and would suggest the following 1) put a sign on the electric fence - our two year old touched it and was hurt 2) add a plank of wood to the boggy area you walk through to stop buggies and luggage getting wet and make it easier to access the accommodation 3) cleanliness of hut could be improved - evidence of previous occupiers was in tent 4) honestly shop fairly barren - it could be an opportunity to make money and would benefit customers

It was beautiful in the setting, peaceful and gave the kids a natural playing environment instead of screens .

Mr Morrison rates Feather Down Farms New Barn Farm with a 10

Will and Hannah were perfect hosts. Although some of our party were very late to arrive Will was able to assist with all luggage. Any little problem was met with a quick response and a "no problem" attitude. We were made to feel very welcome and both of them made this a truly memorable weekend.

Relaxing and very friendly

Mrs Eaden rates Feather Down Farms Mount Pleasant Farm with a 10

Tranquil, welcoming and extremely comfortable. A sheer delight.

Ms. Malby rates Feather Down Farms Mount Pleasant Farm with a 10

We love coming to the Featherdown farms. The freedom it gives the children is fantastic, and it's the most relaxing holiday you could have. The tents are just charming, and the beds so comfortable. I ended up sleeping in the cupboard bed, and still had a good nights sleep! Nights can be a bit chilly but if you go prepared with fleecey pj's and thick socks it's fine. For the children it's just an amazing holiday they absolutely love it (and me too!).

Mr Verbeek rates Feather Down Farms Glastonbury Hill Farm with a 8.8

Our stay at Featherdown Glastonbury was awesome. Exploring the countryside with the kids and making dinner on woodstoves. A real wind-down holiday that we very much needed!

Miss Poole rates Feather Down Farms Moor Farm with a 10

Relaxing and peaceful

Mrs. Griffiths rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

We had a fabulous time at Warren Farm. The location was wonderful, with beautiful countryside all round and lots of opportunities for walking. The tent could not be faulted: it was clean and very cosy (especially during a huge, spectaclur thunderstorm!)_x000D_ We really enjoyed pizza night too. And James and Kate were exceptional hosts - even to the extent of remembering everyone's names (not easy with big parties) - and genuinely nice people too. We will definitely return: a weekend wasn't nearly enough to see and do all we wanted to._x000D_ I would give the Farm 11 out of 10 if it were possible!!!!

Ms McAllister rates Feather Down Farms Layer Marney Tower with a 10

Fantastic! The place & hosts are amazing

Mrs Anstee-Parry rates Feather Down Farms Heydon Grove Farm with a 8.8

We had a lovely weekend in Heydon Farm. As always with feather down the accommodation was great and the location super nice to visit North Norfolk. With our children we spent a day at Bewildered wood which was amazing.

Mr. Watson rates Feather Down Farms Lunsford Farm with a 10

We had a wonderfully pleasant stay! This was our second visit to Lunsford Farm and we will almost certainly visit again!

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

Chilled, peaceful and fun. Simple and minimal but with the loveliest of touches that make a safari tent a home!

Mrs. Gumbrell rates Feather Down Farms East Shilvinghampton Farm with a 10

We all had a fantastic time on our Featherdown Farm holiday, so relaxing and wonderful for children to be able to have the freedom to run around in the great outdoors having fun. The whole experience was amazing and we are already planning our next stay!

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.”
