Prepare to be captivated by the sublime beauty of nature as you immerse yourself in the charm of a working farm. Awaken their sense of adventure as you embark on delightful tractor rides, traversing the lush fields that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Discover more about UK farming and engage their curiosity with the perfect weekend away by understanding the journey from farm to table, by watching cows being milked, collecting eggs from the chickens or handpicking fruit and vegetables. Relish tasty farm-to-table meals, allowing you to savour every bite with the knowledge that it was sourced straight from the grounds you've explored.
As the sun sets, bask in the cosy embrace of the wood-burning stove with your cottage under canvas, lit by candlelight and oil lamps. Roast marshmallows by the crackling bonfire, reminiscing with stories and laughter that rise like embers into the velvety night sky. Observe the celestial dance of stars, a twinkling tapestry that sparks wonder and ignites dreams.

Your home from home is full of luxury comforts and home essentials to make your weekend short break straight forward. There's no need to bring the kitchen sink as you'll find fully equipped kitchens, comfy beds with soft duvets, a full-size wooden table and chairs as well as a hot shower!
A highlight for most children is the enchanting cupboard bed, a throwback to a 1900's cottage that the hideaway is styled on. Perfect for 2 to sleep in (although there's stories of 3+ children sleeping soundly together!), it offers an exciting den, play space or reading nook, with the cubby hole underneath perfect for a fun game of hide and seek.
With cots and highchairs available at every farm and board games to borrow from the honesty shop, you can take away the pressure of packing the car full for your short break.
