Free range family short breaks
For over 20 years, we are proud to have pioneered a new way to holiday under canvas with glamping now a part of our everyday language. Helping families escape from the pressures of daily life and return to a slower way of life, taking time together and reconnecting with nature is at the heart of what we do.
The perfect getaway for school and bank holidays, there's no doubt that there is something about the Feather Down experience that has captured the imagination over the years. Whether it's the cosy, welcoming familiarity of the Feather Down interiors or the legendary hospitality of our farmers, we seem to have hit the nail - or possible the tent peg - on the head as nearly 35% of you return year after year. Now, that's something to be proud of.
This year, we've made it even simpler for you to book your Feather Down Farms getaway with confidence, with a new cancellation policy offering a full refund 6 weeks before arrival and £100 deposit for all stays (full payment due 10 weeks before arrival).
