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

A fabulous farm- the best we have stayed at! Great location for beautiful beaches and fantastic views. An excellent farm shop with local produce including beef from the farm. Fridges for visitors to use proved very useful. Spotlessly clean shower block with a family cubicle - very helpful for families. _x000D_ _x000D_ Martin was really helpful and popped in for a chat most days. Made us feel very comfortable and welcome.
★

Mr. Boyle rates Feather Down Farms Moor Farm with a 10

Fantastic location with genuinely welcoming hosts. The kids loved it.
★

Miss Davies rates Feather Down Farms Billingsmoor Farm with a 10

Very welcoming hosts. Absolutely beautiful setting.
★

Dhr. Oseland rates Feather Down Farms Mount Pleasant Farm with a 10

Yes - very pleasant indeed, we loved it. Fantastic family holiday in a brilliant location, tucked away from it all in central dorset, but close enough to so many different days out - our two girls (2 & 4) did not want to leave the farm, they loved it so much. Fantastic "glamping" accommodation, warm, cosy, everything we needed to have a lovely time and switch off from the clamour of modern life while cooking our dinner/brewing coffee on the woodburning stove. Recommend it to all our friends and shall certainly consider coming back
★

Mrs O'Donnell rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

An absolutely fantastic break for both the entire family. The children loved the freedom of playing in hay barn, and with chickens and lambs and adults loved having the children happily playing in a safe enriching environment.
★

Mr. Shapiro rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

"A really great weekend" - the verdict of our 10 and 8 year old boys on their electronics-free weekend at College Farm. Toasting marshmallows outdoors the highlight for one, collecting and cooking turkey eggs the highlight for the other, but they just as easily might have picked walking dogs, playing hide and seek or cooking home made pizza on pizza night. The tents are comfortable and clean, the site is pretty and quiet and the hosts are fantastic.
★

Mrs. Guest rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

We all had a fantastic time at college farm. Lucy and Marcus were very welcoming nothing was too much trouble for them. The children loved playing with the new friends they made and seeing the chickens and lambs on the farm. The location was perfect and the tents were amazing.
★

Mr Bearman rates Feather Down Farms Hollings Hill Farm with a 8.8

Fantastic stay. Wonderful hosts and the kids loved it. Great adventure
★

Mrs. Mcgarrigle rates Feather Down Farms Hollings Hill Farm with a 8.8

This was a very different holiday for us. The kids had a great time, and for the adults it was a great break from the usual rat race. We would recommend it. The day soon gets filled with collecting eggs, lighting the various fires and planning meals to make. The hot tub is a fantastic bonus for both kids and adults but does take a lot of work. The outdoor shower is great, one of my favourite bits!
★

Mrs Morgan rates Feather Down Farms Layer Marney Tower with a 8.8

Fun time had by all! Great way to escape the big smoke!
★

Miss Mills rates Feather Down Farms Layer Marney Tower with a 10

What can I say what an experience. We had a great time at Layer Marney Towers. Lord Nick (as we called him) was an absolute super star nothing was too much for him. Our party had organised a murder mystery dinner party and due to the cold weather he even heated the Gallery (which was a great setting for the event) in the towers for us to use. We will definitely be going back better prepared. Would be great for children in the safe environment.
★

Mr. Warren rates Feather Down Farms Layer Marney Tower with a 10

Relaxing, refreshing
★

Mrs. Gates rates Feather Down Farms Midgham Farm with a 10

The colour of our children's bathwater on the return home was evidence of truly fantastic holiday where they could play freely outside in the wild, like children should. Thank you Featherdown for thinking of the little things that made our lives easy and the holiday a really wonderful experience for the whole family (dogs included).
★

Mrs. Froud rates Feather Down Farms Midgham Farm with a 10

Absolutely exhilarating, the accommodation was set in beautiful surroundings, almost a carpet of bluebells. The working farm was interesting to be part of first hand, the log cabin was just as we imagined, comfortable and quaint. Sammy was a great host who welcomed involvement in farm life and offered help and advice if needed on places to go, see or eat
★

Mrs. Buttle rates Feather Down Farms Midgham Farm with a 8.8

The kids had a great time at this farm, going in with the animals and having the freedom to roam around.
★

★

Mrs. Partis rates Feather Down Farms Hidcote Manor Farm with a 10

Amazing! We all had an amazing time at Hidcote Manor Farm - what a wonderful place! fabulous tent in the middle of a field full of grazing sheep! such a wonderful contrast to home life! - Tents perfectly appointed and lovely comfortable beds and cosy duvets. We all enjoyed the great outdoors and making our morning brew on the outdoor stove! - the children enjoyed their morning rummage through the straw searching for fresh eggs at the hen coop and feeding the sheep was brilliant too. Fabulous touches like the pizza oven made it a great three nights on the farm! we will be back! Rachael. Matt. Noah(5) Isaac (3) Xanthe (1)

Feather Down Farms - find us throughout the UK


The story of Feather Down Farms goes back nearly 20 years to when we opened at Manor Farm in the Hampshire's South Downs. Since then we have expanded across the country, from the tip of Cornwall to the Scottish Borders, from the mountains of Snowdonia to the Norfolk Broads.


Wherever you are in the UK, you'll find a Feather Down farm within 2-3 hours travel time from your home - the perfect distance for a short break to disconnect from every day life. And if you fancy a farm holiday a little further afield, you'll find Feather Down farms in countries across Europe too.

Rustic Canvas hideaway set in beautiful countryside

Read the full article here

Sheer Luxe included Feather Down in their feature 'Where to go glamping this summer' as their recommended location for a rustic break. ”Guests can stay in canvas hideaways that don’t have any electricity, and are instead kitted out with candles and oil lamps for a rustic experience – think starlit skies, roasted marshmallows under blankets by the fire, and cooking over a warm stove.”

Heydon Grove Farm

The Times recently listed Heydon Grove as spot 1 in their feature '7 of the best family-friendly UK glampsites', citing that the tractor rides and playground make this location ”well suited to children” and that ”Little children will love collecting eggs from the chicken coop each morning and watching the lambs gambol in the adjacent paddock”.
