Mrs Large rates Feather Down Farms Upper Shadymoor Farm with a 10

Wonderful, peaceful weekend away. Couldn't have asked for a nice place to stay.

Mrs. Haines rates Feather Down Farms Upper Shadymoor Farm with a 10

Yes it was a wonderful few days away and the hosts made us very welcome including the children

Mrs Balmer rates Feather Down Farms East Shilvinghampton Farm at 02/05/2025 with a 9

We had the most heavenly time and were so sad to leave. We often thought it was like a scene from the Famous Five - the children played for hours outside, making dens, playing cricket, making friends with other children. The tents are fabulous with extremely comfortable beds.

Ms Crowe rates Feather Down Farms East Shilvinghampton Farm with a 10

Great, relaxing and fun holiday. Lovely and warm under the duvet at night. Really friendly and helpful hosts. We all loved it.

Mr. Abel rates Feather Down Farms Warren Farm with a 10

We had a fantastic family break over Easter at Warren Farm, lazing the days away playing cricket, building fires, slow cooking, walks and Easter Egg hunts. James and Kate were superb hosts and gave a very informative farm tour complete with live calf birth! They also hosted a very good pizza evening which included local cider as well as fresh strawberries and flapjacks for desert. Given that Easter Sunday was our one day of rain over the weekend it was a well timed night not to have to cook ourselves!_x000D_ _x000D_ We will definitely be heading back to Warren Farm, easily the best of the 4 farms we have visited even though we liked all the others as well. 10 out of 10 for the way James and Kate run their Featherdown experience.

Miss Talbot Vine rates Feather Down Farms Sunninglye Farm with a 8.8

Lovely location, quiet and loads of room for the children to run wild

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

Fantastic stay - the twelve children in our group ranged from 6 to 13 years of age and all had a great time. Jo and Gill could not have been more helpful - they supplied the raft building material (a huge amount of fun for the older kids), the round the farm treasure hunt, books on how to build dens, a cut and colour kit for the younger children and a handout for a walk across the fields to the local pub. Well stocked honesty shop and a heated shower block with endless hot water - great for when the children tried bog crossing and came back covered head to toe in mud!! Tents were in a beautiful setting with views across the valley . . . .couldn't have asked for anything more.

Mrs. Mendoza rates Feather Down Farms Layer Marney Tower with a 10

Up there with the best family holidays we have ever had.. It was wonderful! Only wish website was clearer about optional extras as we would have been keen to add the delicious looking breakfast hamper our neighbours had ordered but weren't aware it was available!

Mrs Dixon rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

We have had a wonderful family break at College Farm. The children had endless fun on the trampoline, play area and in the haybarn. We could relax and enjoy the farm view and an ideal location to explore the local area. Lucy and Marcus were great hosts and the whole experience was top notch! 👌🏻

ms Carey rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

Lucy is a wonderful host and clearly cares passionately about her farm as well as her guests and providing an excellent Featherdown experience. The farm is in an ideal spot for day trips of all sorts and is laid out in such a way that allows a perfect balance of privacy but the chance to be social if you wish. Our children aged 11 and 8 had an amazing time playing football, in the play barn and trampolining, so much so that we didn’t see them other than to eat and sleep.

Miss Morris rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10

Truly refreshing break

Mr. Green rates Feather Down Farms College Farm with a 10
