Want to escape to a rural idyll in the countryside? Renting a farm cottage could be the ideal choice. Whether you would like to stay in a country cottage, a lodge, a cabin or a rural retreat, Britain’s farms are ideal for those who want to hideaway for a while in the countryside. Many farm country cottages are converted stables or former agricultural buildings, now converted to offer good quality holiday accommodation.
Stay on a Working Farm
Not only is there a choice of different types of holiday cottage accommodation on a number of UK farms, there is also a choice when it comes to the type of farm. Do you want to stay on a working farm with livestock (choices include cattles farms, sheep farms or pig farms) or do you prefer to stay on an arable farm where the farmers grow and harvest apples, wheat or other crops.
There is also the choice of staying on a smallholding where the owners may only have a few chickens, geese or other farm animals.
• Find a rural retreat on a working farm
At some farm-stays you and your family may have the chance to meet and even feed the animals whereas stay at others and you may have perks like freshly laid eggs produced by the resident hens for you to enjoy.
Other farms may be non-working farms where the farm buildings and land remains but no active farming is currently taking place.
Farm Cottages with Country Views
Other points to consider are does the property feature a view over fields and farmlands? Booking a farm cottage with country views is a popular option, as are farm cottages with hot tubs.
