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.

Our guests in their own words

Mr Martin rates Feather Down Farms Treganhoe Farm with a 10

Carefree and relaxing especially for the children. Open the tent flap and off they go to feed animals, collect eggs, play games & runaround endlessly! Perfect! Only negative: thought pizza night was included in package.

The children were happy & entertained by the farm, whilst we watched barn owls, marsh harriers, oystercatchers, hares & partridge from our tent. The pizza-night was a lovely communal idea, & the pizzas delicious!

Fantastic weekend in a very tranquil setting. All the fun of camping without the hassle! Hannah & Will are super welcoming which makes

Mrs. Trueman rates Feather Down Farms New Barn Farm with a 10

We had a fantastic weekend and our children aged 2 and 4 loved every minute. The tent was beautifully rustic and very well equipped with comfy beds. We were never short of things to do, such as scratching the pigs tummies, collecting freshly laid eggs, picking blackberries, cuddling our very own Guinness pigs and playing on the rope swing. Will and Hannah were great hosts. The pizza night was excellent with a huge range of delicious toppings to choose from (you don't need to book this until you arrive). A nice touch were the freshly baked bread and pastries available to order each morning. All in all, a wonderful weekend that we cannot wait to repeat.

We had a really lovely stay and Will and Anna could not have been more helpful and accommodating. The farm tour was brilliant and very informative. It was lovely to be given a tour just as a family and the children loved feeding the sheep.

Dhr. Wadsworth rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

Fantastic and perfect experience at Warren Farm.. Our 4 children ranging from 2-18 loved the whole experience ,from the amazing log cabin to views over Cheddar Gorge. Hosts James Kate were brilliant and very welcoming ,chilled but always willing to offer advice. Looking forward to going back to this venue in Somerset in the future and may explore other Featherdown sites

Dr Iglehart rates Feather Down Farms Fountain Violet Farm with a 10

We highly recommend Fountain Violet Farm! Edward was fantastic: friendly, helpful, thoughtful, amenable and made things easy for us. The setting is gorgeous, with a spectacular view over the sea. The tent was spotlessly clean, and we had everything we needed. It was very relaxing and peaceful on the day we stayed at the farm, and it's easy to get to places like Dartmouth, Paignton or Torquay. There are lots of places to explore and beautiful scenery nearby. Thanks for such a great holiday, Edward!

Feather Down Farms - find us throughout the UK

The story of Feather Down Farms goes back nearly 20 years to when we opened at Manor Farm in the Hampshire's South Downs. Since then we have expanded across the country, from the tip of Cornwall to the Scottish Borders, from the mountains of Snowdonia to the Norfolk Broads.

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.”
