Feather Down Farm Days (Hidcote Manor Farm)

Lovers of the Cotswolds will want to flock here, as we are the first Feather Down farm in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Our tents are a stone’s throw from the honey-coloured limestone hamlet that clusters around Hidcote Manor. Described by the National Trust as one of England’s greatest gardens, it was created by the American Lawrence Johnston in the first half of the 20th century as a series of outdoor ‘rooms’ combining masses of colour with traditional crafts such as topiary. This is a first class base for your stay in the Cotswolds, with the small market town of Chipping Campden, home of the Arts and Crafts movement, just a four-mile footpath walk away, and Broadway, ‘the jewel of the Cotswolds’, a little further off by car. Both towns are considered to be in the top 10 prettiest high streets in England. There are famed gastropubs nearby too, in Ebrington and Bourton-on-the-Water, whilst the Bard and his works and the newly opened Royal Shakespeare Company theatre await you at Stratford-upon-Avon, eight miles away. Hidcote’s easy access from London and Birmingham – two and one hour’s drive respectively – makes us an easy choice for a long weekend away. With all we have at Hidcote Manor Farm, however, we think you’ll find it hard to leave – both during and at the end of your stay.
