Escape to a simpler life with Wendy and Richard

If you’re looking for traditional rustic comfort, you’ll find peace and sanctuary at the end of the no-through road that leads to Moor Farm in Gloucestershire for your next holiday – described by the Independent as the ideal digital detox in 2021. You’ll meet Richard and Wendy and the three generations of the Watts family and hear about their passion for regenerative agriculture and rare animal breeds, one of many reasons why their farm tour is an absolute must. Your tents are situated by the copse, where you will catch a glimpse of their cattle feeding on the Severn floodplain nearby. Moor Farm is an ideal spot for a family holiday in Gloucestershire.

Close by the Cotswolds and some of England’s loveliest towns

If you’re longing to explore outside the farm, the ancient city of Gloucester city is just five miles away, famous for its iconic cathedral and history that dates back to Roman times, whilst nearby Stroud, near Cirencester in the Cotswolds, was voted England’s Best Place to Live in 2021 in the Sunday Times. If the Cotswolds are your thing, the chances are that your drive home will take you past Jeremy Clarkson’s ‘Diddly Squat’ farm, as well as Bourton-on-the-Water, regularly voted one of England’s prettiest villages near the river Severn.

What to do at Moor Farm

During your holiday in Gloucestershire, you can book a slot to enjoy the indoor swimming pool as an extra when you arrive. If you want to stay in the pure outdoors then you can build dens or play hide and seek in the copse. As the dusk sets in you can spot wild deer whilst dinner is being prepared on the wood-burning stove with delicious ingredients from the farm’s honesty shop. Pizza night at Moor Farm in Gloucestershire is a treat with food that should be in a good food guide and homemade cider that you’ll not find in your local supermarket.

We were slightly apprehensive if the marketing blurb on the website would reflect reality. The holiday surpassed all our expectations. Richard and Wendy were amazing hosts and our kids had a blast swimming in the pool, picking plums, walking the pines and generally running around freely. Thank you

We love Moor Farm. It’s our third year here and continues to exceed our expectations. Richard is an incredible host. He goes out of his way to make it a brilliant holiday. Pizza night is always excellent and the farm is the perfect escape. We love the pool, too. Thank you Richard, Wendy and family. We’ll be back, again!

We felt so welcomed by our hosts Richard and Wendy at Moor Farm. There were so many lovely opportunities to get involved at the farm. The kids had such a free rein to explore and have independance. The tents were amazing, really comfortable beds, delicious food available if you wanted it. And just generally a beautiful spot. We had such wonderful weather but even if there was rain it wouldn’t have been an issue. Highly recommend. And we will definitely be back again.

This was a return trip to Moor Farm in our group of 3 generations and sure it won’t be our last. Such a lovely setting, the pool is a great addition, fun and interesting farm tour and the pizza night hosted by Richard and Wendy is the best of all the Featherdowns we’ve done :-)

This was our third visit to Moor Farm, which is all you need to know about the place really! Richard and Wendy are excellent hosts which is really important to me as an adult travelling alone with children. My only problem this year was we only stayed for 3 nights instead of our usual 7 and it just wasn’t long enough! This is a fantastic chill out and slow down place.

We hebben een héérlijk verblijf gehad op Moor Farm met kinderen die het erg jammer vonden om weer te vertrekken. Altijd een goede graadmeter! Richard en Wendy zijn erg gastvrij en staan altijd klaar voor vragen en hulp. Pizza avond is een echte aanrader, voor de gezelligheid, de heerlijke pizza´s, appel cider, en vooral het toetje! Geniet van de rust en een WIFI-stroomloos leven!

This was our first experience using Feather Down and we absolutely loved it. Richard and Wendy were the perfect hosts and incredibly accommodating. Our son absolutely loved seeing the cows and goats and we had a lot of fun around the farm. I also highly recommend the pizza night + Richard's cider! Thanks for a lovely weekend.

A really special holiday, we have never done anything like this before and would certainly do it again. The cabin bed and secret doors were a hit with the kids. Only issue was there was no Sean The Sheep as advertised which was a real shame. Also no hand soap was included.

We had a fantastic stay at Moor Farm. We hired 3 tents as we were a group a of 12. We were all next to each which was lovely as it meant we could all spend more time together. Richard and Wendy were wonderful. Very helpful, approachable and relaxed. Tents were great with everything we needed for the week. We did the Farm tour with Richard which was very good, following this we went to the pizza night which was delicious. Everything is very well run and organised. We made use of the pool, toys in the farm yard and even were lucky enough to have some extra trips on the farm buggy up to the tents. We would highly recommend Moor Farm for a holiday, we hope to return again. (We were a party of 6 adults, 6 children -ranging from 5-10, and they all had the time of their lives).

My son and I had a wonderful weekend at Moor Farm. The beautiful weather really helped but the farm, the farmer, the pool, the woods, just the whole experience was fab. We will definitely come back again, I've already been telling family and friends to book a trip there.My only criticisms would be the cost per hour for using the swimming pool. We used it multiple times and that was quite expensive. Would have used it even more if didn't cost as much. And we were disappointed not to have the pizza night but the farmer did explain why this wasn't possible on our weekend.

Wonderful farm stay. We all learnt lots on the farm tours and there was something for everyone; lambs and calves being born for my daughter and son, indoor swimming for everyone and the most beautiful view for us all by the woods where we heard owls at night. We loved pizza night - it was delicious! The canal nearby was peaceful and we will try canoeing next time we come. This is our second time and we would not hesitate to stay again. Many thanks to the Watts for going above and beyond.

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.
