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.
