Feather Down Farms

The off-grid stay you didn't know you needed... 💚 We are delighted to share our new brand video! Shot on location at New Barn Farm, Bedfordshire in June (we dodged the changeable weather!), we wanted to capture the true essence of a Feather Down Farm stay - nature, connection, family, freedom, switching off, outdoors, learning from the farmer, countryside, cosy hideaways and creating treasured memories. Let us know what you think! Credit to Redshoot Creative Content Production for working with us on this!

"Outside, in front of a sprawling south-facing 20-mile view over the Somerset Levels, there’s outdoor dining and seating, a BBQ area and fire pit. It’s perfect for summer sunsets outdoors but glorious still in every season, as part of a trip where the elements must be embraced in all their forms." This description perfectly captures the charm of our beautiful Glastonbury Hill Farm. Thank you for the review, Country Living Magazine.

"I cannot tell you how relaxing this experience was. I was initially quite disconcerted at the thought of this digital detox, but as I began to decompress and really relax, I realised that this is the kind of escape that can be life-changing. I had felt a certain peace that is difficult to describe and almost impossible to feel in my day-to-day office/city life." Crave Magazine have captured in words the off-grid experience offered across our 24 locations. While a glamping stay is often full of family-fun adventure, those moments of peace and stillness found in the countryside are rare gems in this digital age 💚 https://lnkd.in/dExHTKWs

We were delighted to work with Time & Leisure Magazine on a feature about how to go off-grid with your kids 🏕 Here are our top tips: 🌿 Book a stay that’s surrounded by nature, and without Wi-Fi, to encourage you to put your phone down and be in the moment with your family. A Feather Down stay is ideal for this! 📱 When you go away, leave your children’s tablets/devices at home – if they aren’t in eyesight they will soon be forgotten about. 📸 Try not to use your phone much during your stay – It’s hard to be completely uncontactable but bring a digital camera to capture photos and have set periods of time you place your mobile out of sight and mind. 🏏 Bring some simple but fun toys such a playing cards, bat and ball or frisbee. It’s amazing how a little distraction or activity can entertain minds without a screen. 🚘 Plan any trips out before you leave home, noting down postcodes or directions in advance. If you plan a little in advance, it can limit the time spent browsing on your phone, where you’ll no doubt be distracted by other things too! 🌟 Think of the memories that you’ll create together – time seems to go by so fast as a parent so make sure you treasure the slower pace of life and being truly present in those moments with your children.

🌿 The Art of Slow Living: Child-friendly glamping at Feather Down Farms 🌿 Fresh farm air, no devices and quality family time. What an enticing thought! 📍 Location: We visited Chesters Estate in Ancrum, Scotland. A place of outstanding beauty, this Feather Down Farms location had us hooked at hello. 👱♀️ Host: The very lovely owner of Chesters, Ellie, came to greet us – beaming smile on her kindly face – and immediately she felt like an old friend. ⛺ Accommodation: What a stunner FOX was! The canvas tent was spacious and packed full of charm and usefulness. You first step onto a small wooden deck, with wooden table and chairs set up already, overlooking unspoilt glorious countryside. You then unzip the thick canvas ‘doors’ to enter into the tent itself. I can hand-on-heart say I have never stayed in a glamping set up quite as rustic and as charming as this one; it is magical. 🍃 Activities: As the weather was so glorious we had no need to venture out of Chesters into the surrounding areas and we made the most of exploring this wonderful site. The boys could be boys in the very best of ways; from the minute they woke up they would start exploring and playing in nature. ✅ The verdict: Utterly charming, the quirkiness of the tent itself and the thoughtfulness of the supplied extras, mean it’s a short break I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend. It’s great for families with kids of all ages (although ages 4 – 14 is probably the sweet spot), couples looking to reconnect in nature and anyone who yearns for a simpler, more romantic time and to rediscover their childlike sense of wonder.
