Why Book a Holiday on a Farm
Staying on a farm can be appealing if you just want to spend some relaxing time in the peace and tranquillity of the British countryside. A cottage for 2 on a farm also appeals to couples looking for a rural weekend escape.
Children never tire of feeding farm animals and meeting the chickens, ducks, sheep, goats, cows, pigs and other farmyard characters. Children can help feed the animals with some farm holidays. At some farms it may even be possible to milk the cows or collect freshly laid hen's eggs.
The level of interaction with the animals, farmers and farm life will vary from one farmstead to another so do read about each and decide which is the best farm holiday for you. Do pack welly boots because farmyards can be muddy!
A holiday on an organic farm in the UK could result in lovely fresh farm produce for breakfast in your cottage. Sizzling organic British bacon and sausages - what a great start to your holiday in the country! If you're seeking a rural retreat, take a look at these rural country cottages.
You may want to stay on a working farm with rare breeds where cattle graze in the fields, or an organic farm where you can pick apples or fruit?

Whatever type of country holiday you're looking to experience, there is an option out there for you!
