Escape the ordinary and experience the magic of glamping on handpicked farms across Europe. At Feather Down Farms, we bring you closer to nature without compromising comfort — whether it's waking up to the gentle sounds of countryside life, gathering around a crackling wood stove, or collecting fresh eggs each morning.
From the wine regions of France to the beautiful Friesian islands of The Netherlands, our unique farm stays offer a slower, more meaningful way to holiday. It’s not just a place to stay — it’s a way to reconnect with nature, family, and yourself.
With many locations across France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany and Switzerland, you'll find a home-from-home a short trip across the channel.
Discover our European locationsFor families seeking a holiday with heart, our farm stays in Europe offer the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and laid-back luxury — all within easy reach of the UK. In The Netherlands, cycle along peaceful canals and let the kids feed the animals at the farm before tucking into Dutch pancakes under the stars. Belgium delights with its medieval towns, rich chocolate, and farms where little ones can help with daily chores, while parents unwind in serene rural surroundings.
France offers something for everyone — from lavender fields and local markets in Bretagne to beachside farms in Normandy. Enjoy simple pleasures like croissant breakfasts, wildflower walks, and evenings gathered around the fire. In Germany, explore fairy-tale forests, splash in lakes, and discover welcoming farms in regions like Thuringian Slate Mountains and the Black Forest, where nature and tradition come alive. And for something truly memorable, head to Switzerland, where lush meadows, cowbells, and dramatic mountain views create a postcard-perfect backdrop to your family adventure.
With each location chosen for its charm, warmth, and authenticity, our European Feather Down farms promise a holiday that brings you closer — to nature, to local life, and to each other.
