Redefining luxury. Redefining nature: Glamping with Feather Down Farms

At Feather Down, you will never have to choose between comfort and wilderness: they go hand-in-hand. Glamping is especially befitting for families with little children, and friends that prefer kicking their feet up and enjoying nature to the fullest. Glamping offers additional amenities so that you don’t have to think about whether you will be able to keep warm or whether your tent will be strong enough to brave the elements! What’s more, you will find some of our farms are dog-friendly too. We provide cosy and unique glamping pods tucked away in the middle of fairytale-like meadows and valleys, so you never have to compromise. Life begins here.

Wholesome fun the water experience was magical

Mrs Bailey rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 8.8

We went on a very rainy june weekend but still had a brilliant time in our log cabin. James and katie the hosts of Warren farm really made the stay from their initial welcome, guidance on how to use the log burning stove to making my friends dream come true to drive a tractor! Couldn't have asked for more from them. There seemed plenty to entertain kids and adults alike from well equipped play area (climbing frame and slide and toys) and goats, chickens and pigs to feed to local walking guides and the pizza night on a Saturday with unlimited home made cider etc. Brilliant stay thanks James and Katie!!!!

Mrs. Goodwin rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

This was a return visit to Warren Farm and the excellent hosts Kate and James. We had a wonderful time once again. We overheard someone say this was the best Featherdown Farm they had been to, and we can see why. We had an idyllic 5 days of relaxing and letting our children have complete freedom.

Griffin rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

The tents are amazing - best sleep I've ever had under canvas (and I've done a fair bit of camping!). Loved the wood burning stove, running water and flushing loo. Don't get me wrong, I love camping, but now I can say I love glamping too. Site was lovely, great location for walking Cheddar Gorge. The site owners, James and Kate were lovely and the honesty shop was brilliant. Facilities were very good. Everyone enjoyed the farm tour - thank you James. Well done all! We aim to be back soon.

Mrs. Jago rates Feather Down Farms Moor Farm with a 10

This was our first time 'Featherdowning' and we all had such an amazing time at Moor Farm. Richard and Wendy are wonderful, friendly hosts always with a smile, a story to tell, or some local cider to share! Their passion and knowledge for their animals and farm is infectious; the farm and local history tour is not to be missed, we all learnt something new. The children in our group of two families didn't stop exploring, running, and enjoying the beautiful farm all weekend. They made new friends with our neighbours and enjoyed the freedom only such a wonderful setting allows. Thank you to Richard, Wendy and Featherdown for a wonderful stay!

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

The farm is really beautiful, and the family really put a lot of effort into the guests. Pizza night was a real highlight where they provide a 3 course meal with cider for the adults and apple juice for the kids. The farm tour, taken by Matty and Martha was our favourite part. They both clearly enjoy talking to the guests and are great with the kids, so all had a fantastic trip round the farm. Having been to another featherdown farm before, this was a lot more enjoyable, partly because the farm is so beautiful, but mostly because the family are so lovely.

Perfect

Miss Welton rates Feather Down Farms Hollings Hill Farm with a 10

In a word Perfect. Quirky, quaint, relaxing, peaceful and above all so enjoyable. Our children had a whale of a time, they loved looking after the chickens, splashing in the hot tub, exploring the farm and sleeping in a cupboard. Our hosts at Hollings Hill were outstanding and very welcoming.We will definitely be returning.

Miss Glanville - Hearson rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm at 11/04/2025 with a 10

We had such a fabulous time at Sunninglye. Waking up and looking over the beautiful hills watching lambs skipping around and horses galloping in the fields and drinking tea by the campfire was a very special experience. Jo and gill were such warm and friendly hosts. They were so helpful and even delivered us a kit for making stew over the fire, plus wonderful food from the local butchers and bakery. The honesty shop was extremely well stocked and had everything we needed. Our two year old loved feeding the lambs, meeting the goats and pigs and sitting on the tractor! Collecting eggs was also a highlight. Being on a working farm and feeling connected to the countryside for a few days was priceless. The farm itself is beautiful with rolling hills and a woodland you can roam in alongside all the animals. Thank you so much, we will be back!

Mrs Gardner rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm with a 10

We had a lovely time. There is so much to offer for the kids and also for the adults too if you like getting outdoors. One of the best holidays we have had. Gill was great at looking out for us and the kids loved the tour around the farm.

Mrs. Bridge rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm with a 10

Sunninglye Farm is beautifully located, from our tent we had beautiful uninterrupted views of the Kent countryside. It is hard to believe that you are only an hour away from London - just glorious.

Mr Grist rates Feather Down Farms Manor Farm with a 10

We felt very welcome. It was peaceful and enjoyable. The local walks provided by the host were lovely and the honesty shop provided some nice treats.

Mrs. Murphy rates Feather Down Farms Manor Farm with a 10

Felt great to 'get back to basics' no electronics for adults or children. Tent was surprisingly warm using wood burner first & last thing each day, beds comfy & plenty of space. Kids loved the outside shower/hot tub/fire pit! Anna & Will very welcoming & always around if you needed them. I would recommend ordered the fresh bakery products & BBQ pack & arrival meal - all excellent quality & value.
