New Barn Farm

The best sort of holiday for a gang of 8 children aged between 3 and 9 , everything children need … freedom to run , roam and explore . A chance for them to make their own decisions. With the added excitement of fire ( and marshmallows!) The adults can pretend that cooking without modern conveniences is a pain but actually enjoying the challenge! Lovely snuggly beds to lie in and listen to nature, rain, wind, birds, day and night! ( rooster included!) A taste of the good old days but knowing that you can return to the present day later. All in all, a really great holiday! Thank you

Possibly our best farm yet after visiting 6 other Featherdown sites! Hannah and Will are so lovely and couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome. The farm is beautifully laid out with lots of animals to see and things to do with lots of lovely additions like bikes, go karts and a swing. The best for us as a big group was the communal area with benches round a fire pit and a covered seating area to play games and eat when it rained. The honesty shop is brilliant and the outdoor showers were great. We had an issue with hot water (not anyone's fault) and Will went out of his way to fix it as quickly as possible. We would definitely recommend!

We had a great time with our grandchildren, they loved looking after the chickens, visiting the ponies in the barn and playing on the go carts in the farm yard. We explored the farm and local area on bikes and enjoyed pizza evening when our hosts Hannah and Phil cooked pizzas for guests in an outdoor pizza oven. Having no electricity and internet made a fun change for a few days. The children enjoyed a level of freedom they don’t get to experience living in the city. The only downside was the shower in the tent, it was freezing! We were lucky that the weather was so hot, otherwise we wouldn’t have been able to use it. We did manage to get it to luke warm once or twice but not for long!

We had a perfect relaxing holiday with all our Family and Friends and were made to feel so very welcome by Hannah and Will, we ordered homemade food and it was so good we had it twice, we also did pizza night and it was scrumptious, we will definitely return to New Barn Farm

This farm is simply wonderful, we couldn't have asked for a better break away. The owners and their family are so kind and welcoming, and work hard to make your stay extra special. If you're taking children, there really is no need to leave the farm, ours have loved every second of the holiday and are already asking to go back!

We had a lovely, relaxing three days and never left the farm - our 4 and 7 year olds were totally delighted with the guinea pig pens, the peddle carts, the farm animals and running about in the fields. Pizza was delicious and recommended, as are the morning pastries. Will and Hannah were great hosts.

Will and Hannah were perfect hosts. Although some of our party were very late to arrive Will was able to assist with all luggage. Any little problem was met with a quick response and a "no problem" attitude. We were made to feel very welcome and both of them made this a truly memorable weekend.

The setting was excellent as was the food cooked for us. I dont like to complain as I know that this is a family business, however, there were some aspects where we felt the farm had lost interest since last time we visited. If it had been one thing it wouldn't have bothered us, however, they added up. We were told that they don't do den making anymore, then please don't advertise it, the boys were looking forward to it. There were only 2 guinea pigs when we booked 5, leaving the kids having to share, this would have been fine if we had known in advance. We were told when we got there that pony grooming may or may not be on and they would let us know. The pizza making was changed to the Sunday, we were told on the Friday and could not change our booking at the Pub because they were full. The pans and plates in one of the tents were filthy and we were told by the farmer that the previous guests had not cleaned up - really! particularly during covid, I would have thought all the plates would have been thoroughly cleaned. We could not find a bike with a connector that worked, so 2 of the party could not come on the bike ride. There were 2 contact lenses on the sink when we arrived.

We had a wonderful weekend. Tent was clean and well maintained. Will and Hannah were wonderful hosts. My son fell in love with the guinea pigs. Not all farms have a petting area so this was a real hit with all the childrenThe pizzas were brilliant, lots of ingredients to choose from and really tasty.

Amazing hosts, went above and beyond to make us all feel welcome. Our children had the best time too and didn't want to leave. This is our 8th Feather Down and we'd definitely come back here again. Best pizzas ever and great quality meat provided in the BBQ and Breakfast boxes. And the home made treats on offer were extremely tasty too!
