Down at the farm
Some farmers grow vegetables, others rear cattle or even horses. Home-made marmelade, butter, cheese and eggs can be found in the Farm Larder. No farm is the same.
Our Feather Down Farms can only be found on small-scale farms where the farmer and their family are passionate about preserving the long-term sustainable future of our countryside.
Bike hire
The beautiful surroundings of our farms lend themselves to memorable family cycle trips. You can hire bikes for all ages, as well as child seats, from most farms at time of booking. Please be sure to bring your own helmets.
Weekend prices are £17 (adult) / £10 (child), midweek £25.50 / £15, and for a week they cost £51/ £30. Child seats are £3 per day.
Take a farm tour
We think the Farm Tour is a real highlight of a Feather Down Farm holiday. Informal but informative, on it our farmers provide an insight into a way of life that keeps centuries-old traditions alive, in which the work is hard, but the rewards are real. Children love meeting the animals, and they’re given a real sense of where the meals you all share – whether from the Farm Larder or the supermarket – actually come from.
You'll also get to know the animals during the tour. A bit scary maybe, as they can make quite sudden movements, but it is wonderful to be able to be so close to nature.
