I really fancy this - has anyone been to one? Are all the tents close together or are they spread around the farm?

Mmmm - I've never been a camping type - just thought this might be a less spidery option

I'll keep my eye out for a few more reviews first before I book, but it does sound like a lovely get away from it all idea

Misdee - a 3 day weekend break in Mid August is around £400 for 2 adults and 2 children.

Okay - I confess - I am looking to send DH off with the children while I stay in a nice hotel (without any scurrying furry friends)

You can unknit your brow now

Aha! That makes sense.

Consult Marina - I think she sent her DH off on a Tipi with her DS.

Was supposed to be going to the Welsh one this weekend, but farmer decided not to go ahead with it, so can't give you a report as yet. However, am heading to the Cornwall one in the summer instead, so will let you know what it's like when we get back.

I wanted camping but without having to put up a tent and sleep on the floor so we went here last year:

We've just been looking at these. Usually do 'proper' camping with no amenities, just a field by the sea but this year, having just got married and with a four month old I can't be bothered to even draw up a list of what we need.

There's only one week available in the summer at one of the farms, in the lake district, and as we went to Yorkshire at Easter we've decided to go south and have a tipi in cornwall.

Just arrive. Unload car. Beds made. Fire ready. Own private field. Sounds bloody lovely.

Very interested to hear what others think of the feather place though.
