Our guests in their own words

Ms Williams rates Feather Down Farms Billingsmoor Farm with a 10

We had a great stay at Billingsmoor. Jayne & Robert were fantastic hosts & the farm was in a good location to explore Devon. The farm shop was well stocked and having a heated shower block was a real bonus! The tents were clean and well situated to enjoy views of the country side. _x000D_ Our children had a fabulous time with OJ who let them help to bring the cows in and showed real patience & enthusiasm. Thank you for helping to create wonderful memories.

Lovely setting really cool tents

Mr. Suiter rates Feather Down Farms Hidcote Manor Farm with a 8.8

Location was lovely and the surrounding areas. There are loads of attractions all within 20 miles which we could not all fit in. The honesty shop was not worth having compared to others we have seen and it was a shame that during the second week of August we were the only people there for the entire week all the other tents were empty all week, which may sound nice to some people but felt very quiet and lonely especially for the kids. Apart from that the weather was great and we had a good time.

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

A lovely country escape, made better by excellent weather and having the tent field to ourselves.

Mrs Fowler rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm at 27/09/2024 with a 10

Amazing stay, my two boys loved the freedom to explore and adventure through the woods. We enjoyed feeding the animals each morning and learning about their time at the farm along with some interesting facts. The pond was a hit, going out on the boats, feeding the carp and fishing for crayfish (after some patience we caught one!). All in all, a great stay back in nature.

Ms Cramer rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm with a 8.8

We had a wonderful time. We loved the freedom to interact with the animals. We found Gill very friendly, relaxed and accommodating. The site is great, with just the right number of guests to make it feel social but not crowded. The camping lodges are absolutely delightful and beautifully designed, although the cold at night reminds you that you are actually "camping"! Very warm sleeping bags are a good idea. We really enjoyed the boating lake. We loved the honesty shop although it would be great if it stocked more local produce. Our son loved the play area and collecting eggs. Nice hot shower, no complaints at all. All in all this is a wonderful holiday that I will thoroughly recommend to others.

Miss Caldwell rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm with a 10

We had great much needed family time. The whole experience was made special by the hard work of Jil and Jo who welcomed us to their family farm and grounds. We have made some special memories. _x000D_ The rafting and picnic with warm flap jacks and scones made it truly perfect, oh and the brilliant weather. Thank-you.

Kevan and Joy were both excellent. We were made to feel very welcome; Kevan gave us a tour of the farm and its surroundings, this was both impressive & enlightening. We all thoroughly enjoyed the Deer Safari, it was a beautiful experience; We would definitely go back and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this farm. Thank you.

Johnston rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

A brilliant family holiday. Quality time spent together in simplicilty. No gismos, gadgets and technology. Truly getting back to nature (with a bit of luxury.. a flushing loo!) and an excellant learning experience for the whole family.

Dr. Cheung rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at Warren Farm despite the wet weather. The tents were exceptionally clean and thoughtfully kitted out with all mod cons available down to the fridge freezers and pool tables in the barn. The views were spectacular and the trek down to the Cheddar Gorge was enjoyable, even for our youngsters. All the animals on the farm provided natural entertainment and we all had a plentiful supply of eggs from the chickens! Would definitely return, especially to try out the log cabins.

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

Great owners & lovely place to stay

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

We LOVED it. Olive, our 2 year old, became firm friends with Thomas the horse and delighted in collecting eggs, feeding all the animals and jumping up and down in muddy puddles - of which there were many. A real testament to Featherdown is that despite cold, wet and windy weather we had a wonderful time. _x000D_ _x000D_ My husband and I asked Andrew endless questions about the farm as we were complete novices. Andrew was very kind and answered everything with genuine care and passion for what he does. Denise was wonderful and considerate host. A great team.

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.”
