Seven cosy canvas hideaways tucked away at the end of our mile-long private drive, just outside Gloucester. Come and stay with the Watts family.
4.7/5
Follow the little no-through road to Moor Farm and you’ll find somewhere to slow right down. The Independent called us the perfect digital detox, and we think they had a point. You’ll meet us, Richard and Wendy, along with three generations of the Watts family, and we’ll happily chat all day about regenerative farming and caring for our cattle. That’s why the farm tour is a must! Your tent sits beside the copse, where you can watch the cows grazing on the Severn floodplain below. It’s a lovely spot for a family holiday in Gloucestershire.
“We stayed for 7 nights and had a fantastic chilled out holiday, great farm experience. The hosts Richard and Wendy were really friendly and accommodating. Richard’s farm tour was fun and really educational.”
“Wholesome weekend at Moor Farm. It really is what you make of it. Go explore, take part in the pizza night, do the farm tour! We loved it all, and loved how welcoming we were made to feel.”
Room tip.Need your wellies, extra lighting maybe, bit of a walk to and from the farm.
“Richard was welcoming, friendly, chatty and a wonderful host. Pizza Night was great, with homemade pizzas and chocolate dessert. We loved the tent’s location, looking towards the cows at the bottom of the field.”
“Our first holiday as a blended family had all the potential to be disastrous with no Wi-Fi and totally off grid. Hands down, it was the best experience we’ve all had for years. The kids felt free and independent.”

“Freshly back from a lovely 7 days at Moor Farm. We went as a family of four with our dog. The farm is lovely and our youngest really enjoyed the freedom of going in with the animals, especially the ponies.”
“This was our fifth Feather Down Farm holiday and was fantastic. Richard and Wendy are so friendly. We feel so lucky to have enjoyed freshly baked croissants and bread every day. Pizza night was great fun.”
There’s plenty to fill your days, or you can do nothing at all. Book a slot in our indoor pool when you arrive (it’s open from 17 April to 25 September). Or stay outdoors: build dens, play hide-and-seek, or let the kids loose in the play area in the copse. As the evening draws in, keep an eye out for wild deer while dinner bubbles away on your wood-burning stove, made with goodies from our honesty shop. And on most weekends there’s pizza night: proper homemade pizza and our own cider, the kind you won’t find in any supermarket.
Our little farm shop has all the everyday essentials, plus lots of lovely local food and drink. Just help yourself and pay as you go.
Come out on the farm with Richard and hear all about how we farm regeneratively and care for our animals. Kids (and grown-ups) love it.
Yes, we’ve got our very own indoor pool! It’s open every day from 17 April to 25 September, 9am to 7pm. Book a one-hour slot when you arrive (there’s a small extra charge).
Most weekends we fire up the pizza oven. Expect seriously good homemade pizza and our own cider, a real treat after a day outdoors.
Dens to build, trees to hide behind and a woodland play area to explore. Little ones will be busy from breakfast till bedtime.
Included in the rhythm of your stay
A warm arrival. Arrive before 6pm and we’ll have your wood-burning stove crackling and your oil lamps lit, so your stay starts nice and cosy.
Hello! We’re the Watts family. We live here on the farm, and our sons Matthew and Richard help us run it. Tucked away at the end of our tree-lined drive, it’s a very special place, and we can’t wait to share it with you.
“Going without electricity is our greatest luxury.”
Join the farm tour and we’ll show you how we look after the land and our cattle, the regenerative way.
If you fancy a day out, there’s lots nearby. Gloucester is just five miles away, with its beautiful cathedral and Roman history. Stroud, voted the best place to live in England by the Sunday Times in 2021, is about 20 minutes’ drive, and so is Cheltenham, great for shopping or a day at the races. Heading home through the Cotswolds? You might pass Jeremy Clarkson’s Diddly Squat Farm, or stop off at Bourton-on-the-Water, often called one of England’s prettiest villages.
Rough drive times from the farm. Traffic and routes can vary.
Tell us who’s coming and when you’d like to visit, and we’ll get back to you with our next available dates and everything you need to know. We can’t wait to hear from you!
Thank you! We will aim to be in touch with you within 48 hours. Wendy & Rich :)
