Escape to a simpler life with Peter and Sarah

Glastonbury Hill farm lies at the end of a country lane in the natural paradise that is the Somerset Levels. Run by Peter and Sarah, the place is teeming with wildlife from barn owls to wild deer, as well as domesticated animals for you to get up close and personal with. The Ouessant sheep (the smallest natural breed in the world) and their lambs in Spring enjoy meeting guests, especially when you feed them with Peter! There's stunning south-facing views for 20 miles to Dorset and the hills above Lyme Regis on a clear day, which delighted the Sunday Times who gave it a front page feature in 2021 as an ideal base for a family holiday near Glastonbury.

The great outdoors in the South-West

When you emerge from your comfy bed in the morning, it is a question of which Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty it is for today as there are three on your doorstep - the Blackdown Hills, Mendip Hills or Quantock Hills, all perfect for hiking and cycling. As far as more urban charms are concerned, Glastonbury is famous for King Arthur and the world’s best music festival is 30 minutes away - if you're lucky enough to get tickets! Your host Peter is a big foodie so he’ll be able to furnish you with all the food and restaurant tips you’ll need throughout your holiday in Glastonbury.

What to do at Glastonbury Hill Farm

If you don’t want to venture so far afield, Glastonbury Hill Farm offers a wide selection of beautiful walks to stretch your legs but you are also welcome to just relax and take in the breath-taking views - in fact it is the ideal spot for a family holiday near Glastonbury. Children can enjoy the swings, slide and climbing frame to keep them busy while you take in the fresh country air and beautiful scenery. Although not a commercial farm, Peter takes great pride in rewilding the landscape and allowing natural species to thrive. You will have everything you need in your canvas hideaway to make your holiday complete, from comfy beds to a wood-fired stove and private showers.

The farm shop

It’s great for the basics and usually even better for local produce and low food miles. And every Feather Down farm shop operates on an honesty basis.
