Redefining luxury. Redefining nature: Glamping with Feather Down Farms

At Feather Down, you will never have to choose between comfort and wilderness: they go hand-in-hand. Glamping is especially befitting for families with little children, and friends that prefer kicking their feet up and enjoying nature to the fullest. Glamping offers additional amenities so that you don’t have to think about whether you will be able to keep warm or whether your tent will be strong enough to brave the elements! What’s more, you will find some of our farms are dog-friendly too. We provide cosy and unique glamping pods tucked away in the middle of fairytale-like meadows and valleys, so you never have to compromise. Life begins here.

Our guests in their own words

Mrs. McCluskey rates Feather Down Farms Billingsmoor Farm with a 8.8

I couldn't have wished for a nicer place to introduce my toddler son to farm animals. Every day was an adventure - either visiting the chickens, 'baby cows' and 'grumpy pigs' or down in the woods on a Bear Hunt. Our hosts could not have been more welcoming and helpful.

Chapman rates Feather Down Farms Billingsmoor Farm with a 10

I arranged a glamping holiday for a group of 43 Friends & Family at the beautiful Billingsmoor Farm, the location is simply stunning, the facilities are brilliant including fantastic communal showers. We were concerned about the layout of the tents before we arrived but it worked perfectly, it's a really beautiful location for a group holiday or just as a Family. Jayne was truly wonderful, extremely helpful both before we arrived with all our enquiries and the whole time while we were there, nothing was too much for her. We would most defiantly return to this lovely farm, massive thanks to Jayne & Robert for your superb hospitality.

Mrs Lamarque rates Feather Down Farms Treganhoe Farm with a 10

Perfect location to explore what Cornwall has to offer. Beautiful beaches, walks, bike rides, farms and towns. We loved it all! Treganhoe farm was a perfect location where we could stargaze away from light pollution but still close to lots of busy seaside towns too. Sue and family were fantastic hosts. The tents were amazing, the bed comfortable and the shower plenty warm and powerful. All needs were catered for. We loved every minute and will be returning

Mrs Wilkinson rates Feather Down Farms Pant y March with a 8.8

We had a very enjoyable stay at Pant y March and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The only downside was the fact that the family next door kept walking directly past our tent (even walking across our decking!!) but overall we had a pleasant stay and the owners were very hospitable and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We would love to return one day!

Lovely Easter break away on a beautiful farm! Very welcoming farmer - Richard and his family! Looking forward to our next featherdown!

Mrs. Cakir rates Feather Down Farms Upper Shadymoor Farm with a 10

This location is wonderful. A beautiful farm. Kevin and Joy couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. The lake activities are fantastic - the children wanted to stay every day of the holiday by the lake - no need to look for excursions. More than enough to keep everyone happy.

Mrs. Macleod rates Feather Down Farms Layer Marney Tower with a 10

Our Feather Down Glamping at Layer Marney Tower exceeded all expectations. Our hosts Nick and Sheila couldn't have been more welcoming. Sitting in the hot tub and stargazing and looking after our personal chickens and eating the freshly laid eggs for breakfast were the highlights for our kids. We all enjoyed cooking the 'Cowboy Supper' and wood-fired pizzas and thoroughly relaxed and enjoyed the comfort of the glamping experience in a stunning location. We felt like we'd had a week away after just two nights and are already planning another trip.

Our stay was wonderfully relaxing. James and Kate are great hosts and the farm and its setting are beautiful.

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

Martin & Joby are fabulously welcoming hosts. They really made our holiday relaxing - the honesty shop was fantastic, the home baked pastries and pizzas delicious. The location of our campsite on their farm was stunning, and beautifully quiet.

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

We had never done feather down before and was really looking forward to going. We was not disappointed, Martin and Joby was excellent hosts, they really could not do enough._x000D_ _x000D_ We knew we was going camping and was expecting to not be very clean for the week how wrong we was, the shower rooms were lovely and clean and the showers were just as good as a power shower, lovely hot water at the touch of a button pure bliss (if you are expecting a spa experience then you are on the wrong holiday). _x000D_ _x000D_ Would we recommend staying at East Shilvinghampton Farm, Yes we would. We loved the laid back life style tent life you really can't rush dinner, hot water, a cup of tea or warming the tent, as a wood burning fire takes awhile to get a good temperature. _x000D_ _x000D_ For the children being able to go and feed the lambs and kids every morning was lovely and the really enjoyed it. _x000D_ _x000D_ The pizzas we ordered, made by Joby cooked by us in the pizza oven was beautiful and it was so nice to do it together as a family.
