Camping on the farm is educational and a joy for children.

If you really want to make kids happy, put them among cows, chickens, and muddy puddles. Seriously. Forget that holiday park with water slides and animation teams – on the farm, they've got their own kind of entertainment. Think feeding goats, collecting eggs, brushing ponies, and romping in the hay. And the best part? They actually learn something too. Without even realizing it.

Luxury camping at the glamping site on a farm.

Camping on a farm? It might sound old-fashioned, but it’s not as bad as you think. This isn’t your typical campsite where you walk around with a toilet roll under your arm or hear your air mattress deflate at night. Here, it’s all about glamping. In other words, camping with a bit of extra luxury. Think of a comfy bed, your own toilet, a small kitchen, and sometimes even a hot tub next to your tent. You’re right in the heart of farm life, but without sacrificing comfort.
