  • 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 kids can access the huge play barn to play farm-themed games and ride mini tractors about the place (please note there is an extra charge to use this area). 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.

What customers say

Lovely new farm campsite. Spacious pitches, great views, and super-friendly owners. Fantastic cafe and play barn for kids. Owners addressing requests for more showers/washing-up facilities during peak times. Highly recommended for families.

Unpowered grass tent or trailer tent site

Liked We had a great time staying at down on the Farm! The 3 staff we met were so lovely and accommodating! letting the children feed the animals in the morning.
Everything was clean and tidy, the food was lovely and the cake was delicious!
We will definitely be back next year during the summer!

Disliked Not a dislike but a suggestion to maybe have the option to add play barn booking when booking a stay at a reduce cost. As what hard to keep the children away not understanding why they could not play.

Liked Owners were friendly and very helpful. We camped in non-electric pitch close to toilets which was perfect for the kids. Very clean bathrooms and showers and great to have cafe/restaurant near by for lunch. Fun games for kids set up. We fed the goats which the kids really enjoyed! Very child friendly place!

Disliked Would have liked restaurant to stay open a bit longer for campers and perhaps an option to include price of outdoor play area for kids in camping cost.

Liked We had a fantastic time camping here! All the facilities were spotless and replenished frequently. Food in the cafe was lovely. But most of all the owners were SO friendly and couldn’t help enough. Highly recommend.
