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 Thornhill rates Feather Down Farms Billingsmoor Farm with a 10

Amazing as always! Great location, tents, very hospitable farmers, amazing local produce. Just a tiny suggestion to make the farmtour a bit more fun for the kids ( they got a bit bored), and also pizza night was not as well organised as on other farms . We went to another FDfarm last year and it was a fun night for all the kids on the farm who get to choose their own toppings for the farmer to cook it on a proper pizza base in the oven and for all to enjoy.

We loved it - our first time staying at a Featherdown Farm. The kids had so much fun. We will definitely do it again.

Mrs Green rates Feather Down Farms Hollings Hill Farm with a 10

It was the perfect break away from it all! Fantastic location for walking the Malvern hills. We received a warm and friendly greeting by Faye and her lovely children on arrival. The cabin was equipped with everything we needed. We spent the days walking the hills and the autumnal evenings sat around the log fire by candle light playing board games. The most relaxing way to spend quality time together as a family!

Mrs. Mcgarrigle rates Feather Down Farms Hollings Hill Farm with a 8.8

This was a very different holiday for us. The kids had a great time, and for the adults it was a great break from the usual rat race. We would recommend it. The day soon gets filled with collecting eggs, lighting the various fires and planning meals to make. The hot tub is a fantastic bonus for both kids and adults but does take a lot of work. The outdoor shower is great, one of my favourite bits!

Ms Shiell rates Feather Down Farms New Barn Farm with a 10

An amazing way to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with your family!

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

We loved the farm and had a really fantastic weekend. The farmer and his family went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay. The children especially loved the fact it was a great location for cycling, they loved renting the guinea pigs and feeding Frazzle. Thank you.

Mrs Walker rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm with a 10

The hosts, the views, the farm, the pizza baking, the horse chestnut roasting, the feeding of the pigs and horses... all meant we could ditch the car, switch off from the reality of life and enjoy time as a family. A rare treat that we will be indulging in again!

Mrs. Wilson rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm with a 10

The tent was utterly charming! The location was idyllic and the hosts were very attentive. Wonderful activities provided for kids of all ages. Local produce was scrummy!

Mrs. Chapman rates Feather Down Farms Manor Farm with a 10

I booked this as my husband and kids were really keen to go camping but I'm not a naturally happy camper so this seemed like a good compromise. Once there it felt anything but a compromise, I am converted and can't wait to go again. Everything was an adventure but so relaxing. Our favourite parts were lighting fires, egg hunting and making pizzas al fresco.

Ms Gunn rates Feather Down Farms Heydon Grove Farm at 23/08/2024 with a 10

Soooo relaxing. Lovely spot, a couple of nice pubs within walking distance, great hosts, great set up, lovely area to explore. Our car broke down 10 minutes from arrival and Rory and Hazel were so kind with mechanic recommendations and rescue lifts, even offers to fetch supplies. It was actually nice to be without wheels - enforced relaxation!

Mrs. Perring rates Feather Down Farms Lunsford Farm with a 10

Our break was everything we had hoped for and so much more! It proved that even teenage boys can survive without technology and enjoy the fun of living outdoors! Andrew is an amazing host, he was so generous with his time even in the middle of the lambing season. Linda and the rest of the team were all so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We can't speak highly enough of them all!

we thoroughly enjoyed our feather down farm experience at east shilvinghampton farm. it exceeded our expectations. joby and martin were very welcoming and were on hand whenever we needed them. as they say service with a smile, was the service we got from them both. a big thank you to martin for our guided tour round the farm was, lovely to meet all the animals and learn about life on a farm._x000D_ the accomodation was lovely! my daughter loved the cupboard bed, i also thought the double bed was so comfy and wanted to bring it home with me. the scenery and view was excellent. i especially loved watching the sun go down.

Blissful

Mrs Taylor rates Feather Down Farms Chesters with a 10

A brilliant escape from reality. It doesn’t get any better than star gazing from a wood fired hot tub in the middle of the beautiful Scottish countryside... We’ve never felt so relaxed!

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.”
