  • Well-kept, quiet Wiltshire farm site 10 minutes’ drive from Malmesbury
  • Westonbirt, The National Arboretum and Highgrove 20 minutes’ drive
  • Café with views over the fields; play barn for an additional fee
If you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids for a few days of country life, you should be heading to Down on the Farm, on the edge of the Cotswolds and 10 minutes’ drive from Malmesbury in North Wiltshire. This peaceful pop-up site is set on a beef farm with lots of curious cows to meet and greet, and, for an additional fee, kids can access the huge play barn to play farm-themed games and ride mini tractors about the place. And for adults? Well, there’s a popular café with views over the farm fields, a modern facilities block with family shower rooms, and a camping field sheltered by mature trees. You can also set off on rural walks from the pitches, which are dog-friendly so Fido can join in the holiday fun too. There are lots of options for family days out, whether it’s swimming off the lakeside beach at the Cotswold Water Park (15 minutes’ drive) or exploring the standing stones at Avebury (35 minutes). And if you’d rather just stick around and chill on site, you can look forward to regular colourful sunsets and nights cosied up around the firepit.

Tamara H.

Electric optional grass tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked The showers were beautiful although only 2 they are worth the wait (although we went early and didn’t have to). This is a new campsite so they may add more in future but don’t let some reviews put you off.
Washing up facilities again only one but we just had a little look and timed in between people again no issue at all.

Absolutely amazing setting we have two children with very different ages (1 and 11) and there was enough to keep both of them entertained, animals and games next to the pitches.

The cafe was beautiful and the coffee tasty, we also had bbq food and pizza the day of arrival as they stayed open late which was lovely.

The stars at night were exceptional.

Disliked My only very slight issue (but it was worth the money) was the additional charges for the playbarn, this is a business and a popular playbarn so should absolutely be charged, but may suggest a buy now scheme at the beginning of the stay rather than the charge each day so you feel like you have a small discount for staying, especially for extended stays. But we would absolutely come again and we would pay again too.

Liked We had the most wonderful 5 night stay Down on the Farm. Such a lovely site with everything you need and the added bonus of seeing the cows on the working farm - we loved this!

We know this is a new site and we really couldn’t fault anything. We wish you every success going forward and hope to be back next year!

Disliked Loved everything!
