Find Self-Catering Holidays in Farm Cottages

Farm Stays provide the perfect holiday location for families or anyone who enjoys being in the countryside. Many UK farms have converted their old barns, shippons, byres, dairies, stables and linhays to create superb self-catering farm holiday accommodation for large groups or extended family holidays. Many farm cottages offer a real working farm experience, including milking the cows, feeding the newborn lambs and scavenging for free-range eggs to cook at breakfast. All the farm cottages on My Favourite Holiday Cottages will be found in beautiful countryside with local walks. Scroll down this page to search for a wealth of UK holiday cottages on working farms or converted farm buildings.

Find your favourite self-catering farm holiday cottages in villages and secluded rural locations throughout the UK, from converted crofts in the Highlands of Scotland to old Tithe Barns and Oast Houses in Kent. Where grain was once stored or horses stabled, you will find luxurious self-catering accommodation in rooms that retain the traces of their previous life, from oak beams to the occasional (strictly decorative) cider press. Most working farms will have footpaths and fields for exploring without driving further afield - perfect for holidays with pets. For those seeking facilities such as cottages with pools, children's play areas and seriously good games rooms created from former farm buildings are well worth considering. This is due to farmers finding they have perfect spaces for a range of facilities that many independent holiday cottages cannot accommodate.

Rural holidays in holiday cottages on farms in the depths of the countryside or remote locations such as Exmoor will reveal the canopy of stars in the night skies that city dwellers cannot experience, especially on crisp, clear nights in the winter. For wildflower lovers, there's nothing like a farm holiday for rambling down country lanes and woodland footpaths carpeted with snowdrops, primroses, bluebells, pink campion, violets and cow parsley according to the time of year. The best areas for wildflowers tend to be more suitable for animal farming, as fewer fertilizers have been used on the fields, thus protecting the flowers.

Book a farm cottage for a self-catering holiday and re-discover the beauties of the Great British Countryside in any season.
