Just Show Me Working Farm Cottages
Looking for somewhere different for this year's holiday,
with lots of fun and fresh air guaranteed? Our working farm
cottages might be the answer, found in delightful rural areas of
the UK and Ireland.
Picture the scene for a moment. Today you're at the office,
in-tray piled high and post-it note reminders all around. Or
you're busy ferrying the children back and to from school, then
on to brownies and football. Weekdays blur into one and, come the
weekend, you've just two days to try and do that whole quality
family time thing.
So imagine a whole week or two together, where alarm clocks are
feathered and classmates rather furry. Simply pack casual clothing
and a pair of wellies and you're ready to go!
Many working farm cottages are on dairy or sheep farms, so
expect to get your hands dirty and help with chores - milking cows,
bottle-feeding lambs, collecting eggs, mucking out stables and
more. Other cottages are on arable farms, where you may help with
harvesting e.g. fruit picking.
This 'good life' promises a firsthand view of the
farming world and a truly rewarding experience. Surely reason
enough to consider a working farm cottage for your next holiday!
