Feather Down Farm - last minute group split... Advice

461 replies

Nicky1234 · 02/08/2011 17:37

A group of 5 families has booked early in the year to stay with feather down farm and were advised that we would all be together. Now 2 weeks before our stay we have been advised that in actual fact we are being split up because a group of 2 wants specific tents and so it makes that field too small for us.
Anyone been to one of these farms and do you think it will be a problem, we have 10 kids between us, 6 and under, so I am worried that they'll disturb other guests (rather than all being together they'll have to find each other). Also though there is a brook between the 2 fields so we're going to have to shepherd them about and it seems such a shame they cant just roam a little free (poor loves get no freedom). Selfishly the adults won't be able to hang out in the evenings either...
Im also really upset that we have to split up as seems unnecessary and unfair...
Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions to put my mind at ease.
Thanks

Oh I am so glad you got your holiday. Read that article in the Times today and felt so sorry that you had missed out. Did they ever explain to you why their 'cant reserve specific tents' policy had been overlooked for the 2 tents?

And who was in the 2 other tents???

Glad you had a good time.
In the end, how did you handle having one family in a different field?

I spoke to FDF this morning and Knaveswell aren't going to be one of their farms next year. I'm gutted as, despite the OP's problems, we wanted to book tbh. I am trying to find out if they will perhaps be offering their own equivalent, going independent I suppose, but can't find a number for the farm :-( x

Could this be what you're looking for?

Thanks yes found that eventually and spoke to the owner. Appreciated x

pamplemousserose · 01/09/2011 20:13

So are they offering independent glamping next year?

CravingOlives · 01/09/2011 22:00

They don't know yet. They're either going to do something independent or they still might go back with FDF.
