Wake up to Country Views

Few things in life compare to the feeling of waking up to country views.  Whether you want to gaze over fields, farmlands or meadows, staying in a farm cottage with countryside views can be a special experience and perfect for that feel good factor.

Staying in a rural retreat on a farm where you can look out on farmlands can also be perfect when it comes to sitting out and watching the sunrise or the sunset.

Wildlife Watch on a Farm in the Countryside

For those who love wildlife watching, there are few better places to enjoy this activity than on one of the UK's farms.  Whether you want to look out for deer, birds or other wildlife, most farms are set next to unspoilt countryside where you can enjoy watching out for local wildlife (particularly if you're willing to get up early or watch out in the evening).   Bring your binoculars!  

And if you just love to see animals, consider staying on a working farm where you may be able to see resident cows, pigs, sheep or hens.

Enjoy a Taste of the Good Life on Holiday

Are you someone who loves the taste of fresh food?  If so, a stay at a farm cottage could be an ideal choice for you.  At some of the UK's farms you can enjoy delights like freshly laid eggs or other freshly produced goods.
 
Also at some working farms with livestock there are opportunities for you and the kids to meet the animals.  Getting the chance to pet and interact with animals can be a wonder for both children and adults on holiday.
