We’ve been to four other Featherdown sites and this one is the best. Great place for mountain bike rides along grassy bridleways. But also useful to have bikes to get from tent to farm shop/animals/charging point.

We are day two of a four day stay and our long weekend has already hit 5 stars. Hannah and Will have a very well organised set up. Easy to find, Will met us on arrival and gave us all the info and transported our kit down to our lodge/hut. We unloaded the kids and followed along the 5 minutes walk to our accommodation. The lodges are great, rustic, comfortable, well equipped, sleeps us (2A 3CH) easily, sofa, table, log burner/stove, hot shower, drinking water. We had our guinea pigs waiting in their cage outside our lodge, kids have been petting them constantly. Crates of firewood were also waiting for us, a create per night complementary. The lodges are hard to describe but are wooden floored, half canvas (overhead) and half wood, a semi permanent structure. Sheep and chickens in fields and barn and generally all over the place, so great for the kids. Kids enjoyed pony grooming this morning and have been proudly wearing their ribbons award all day - thanks Poppy. Will and Hannah cooked pizza in the outdoor brick oven this evening and take the process in their stride. Clearly all 5 or 6 families were very happy with their evening meal. Pizza is delicious, I’m finishing it off now as I write this review. It’s been raining all weekend and we’ve had so much fun we’ve hardly noticed! Thank you both for a great (first half of) trip...

Perfect glamping holiday. Enough comfort balanced with all the benefits of a go slow camping holiday. The kids love the go karts, cuddle barn and space. They team up with kids from other tents and go explore the woods etc. We ordered food from the owners each night and it was delicious (Lasagne, Lamb Tagine, Cottage Pie and Of course Pizza night) we loved the outdoor communal table and enjoyed most evenings there with happy kids and red wine fuelled adults. Thanks Will & Hannah, we will be back.

Wonderful time had by the family. Very family friendly and lovely hosts. Cannot recommend enough. Rabbits, horses, a dog and Guinea pigs to pet, even the chickens will let you fuss them! Will definitely come back
