Escape to a simpler
life in the countryside

Featherdown provides the perfect setting for a much needed rest and the chance to slow the pace of life down. It's a wonderful place to create memories with your family and so well equipped and thought out in order to make your stay comfortable whilst still being a back to basics experience. The children loved lighting fires, running free, playing in the hot tub, hopping on the buggy with the farmer and having a bbq for breakfast lunch and dinner!

Our holiday at Mount Pleasant Farm was a much needed break away from day to day modern life! It was fantastic to swap iPads, iPhones and TVs for pizza making, pony grooming and piggy feeding! The tent was fantastic and it was not just the children that got excited at the prospect of sleeping in the cupboard bed! Mount Pleasant Farm is also perfectly sited just 40mins from the beautiful UK coast which was an added bonus. A fabulous time was had my the whole family.

My daughter (aged 7) and I have just returned from a week at New Barns Farm and can say that we had an absolutely fabulous time ! As described, the location is quite remote, but also peaceful and beautiful. Its great for the children to be able to run around and play safely together, cycling and playing on the rope swings etc. Will, Hannah and family made us feel very welcome and were fantastic hosts. My daughter loved collecting eggs in the morning, playing with the chickens and meeting all the animals, including Frazzle, Marmite and Bertie (pigs) plus the numerous sheep, goats, cats and dogs. Making marshmallows by the fire at night was also a huge favourite ! She also loved meeting and grooming the horses and going on a tractor and combine harvester ride. Oh yes I almost forgot pizza night which is a special treat and not to be missed !

We were only on the farm for 2 nights but it was a really pleasant experience. Marcus, Lucy and the kiddies were great and helped us settle into our first farm holiday experience. The facilities were great and the children were occupied 100% of the time! Coming back home I don't know how we will ever enjoy pizza/jacket potatoes again without the use of their amazing outdoor stove!!

The whole experience was fantastic. The Bartlett's are great hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The location itself is beautiful and our 6 yr old son had a great time exploring and making new friends all within our eyesight. He got to feed the horses and bottle feed the goats aswell as play with the farm's 2 dogs & cat on a daily basis and no mention of computer or television the whole time we were there! I can't recommend the experience enough and in particular East Shilvinghampton Farm for a wonderful holiday.

Fabulous fun. A genuine alternative to other types of family holiday. More relaxed, more secluded (only one other tent) and altogether more time for each other (no electricity, TV, commercialisation to distract). Geraint and Llinos could not have been more welcoming hosts. Everyone knows it rains a lot in Wales but we still had a brilliant time and remained really comfortable inside the tent. The log burners are all easy to operate, and the hot tub is fabulous fun. We all loved the views of Lake Bala (Llyn Tegid) and the freedom to roam the fields of farm. But the boys especially loved the chickens, the pet lambs and going out with Ben the sheepdog and Geraint. The honesty shop is very useful and absolutely fairly priced for basics and saves a trip into Bala.

I really did regard the sheer amount of good reviews for Warren Farm with some cynicism but they are all warranted. I agreed to the holiday as a compromise with my husband on taking the kids camping. It was great fun, we all enjoyed ourselves immensely and the boys didn't ask for their playstation once - which was very refreshing! It would have been nice to stay longer - as a weekend did not really give us enough time to enjoy the whole experience as fully as we would have liked. Kate and James are friendly, helpful and informative - the farm tour is a must (especially as it's free, better value than climbing nearby Jacob 's Ladder which cost us £19 for the four of us to climb a flight of steps!). The boys loved the cupboard bed, play area and pizza night, toasting marshmallows on a campfire outside our tent and collecting the chicken eggs and wanted to buy a pig after seeing the piglets on the tour! I liked the bed, the sofa, the stove, the sink and the toilet - not available on a regular camping trip! My husband liked everything. There is a nice community feel within the site which you could opt in or out of as you chose so you can be as sociable/unsociable as you like. The honesty shop is well stocked and also allows you to rent/borrow radios, books or even kids wellies. Our visit was a birthday treat for one of our sons and Kate had thoughtfully left a 'Birthday' helium balloon in our tent which he was thrilled with. Thank you it was a great experience.

We stayed at Warren Farm, the welcome was warm and our hosts James and Kate were wonderful._x000D_ _x000D_ The whole experience at Warren Farm is recommended to anyone, the children loved the animals and the whole farm. The tents were more than adequately equipped to our standards as we are normal seasoned campers._x000D_ _x000D_ Thank you to James and Kate for a really wonderful holiday.
