Apr Such a relaxing weekend with unbeatable views! We have just come back from a weekend a Featherdown Farm at Sunninglye Farm and all had a great time. The directions in the welcome pack are very clear so the farm is easy to find. Midgham Farm is run by the unswervingly capable and kind Henry and Sammy Sykes. The woodland in which our cabin sits has been in their family since , Sammy explains, as she lights some candles for us and its interior is revealed.
It is gorgeous. We have an oak dining table, above which hang two candle-heavy chandeliers. Shelves are made from vintage stacked crates, beds laid with fluffy duvets.
It is beautifully staged to look quirkily individual, though all these cabins, across their various locations, are virtually identical inside. Every morning, you can — charmingly and thrillingly for our children — collect free eggs from the chicken coop. So we smirk — gently and knowingly — as we light the candles in our chandelier, stoke our stove and make a beef and apricot stew Ottolenghi, since you ask in our red enamel pan with matching ladle, before pulling a cold bottle of wine from a fridge crafted rather cleverly from a heavy trunk filled with frozen hot water bottles.
The sky is so dark out here, free from electric light. We play our favourite game of anarchic stargazing finding and naming our own imaginary constellations , then attempt our first-ever family session of charades. The children love carrying the yep, red enamel gas lamp through the gloom before closing themselves inside their bunk bed, housed inside a little cupboard with wooden doors. The next morning, they pull waterproofs over their pyjamas and run outside into the trees, building dens before breakfast.
After a coffee thank you, vintage bean grinder we all walk down the wooded hillside and play pooh sticks in the stream at its bottom. We splash in puddles, climb trees, float little leaf boats on big puddles. Back on the farm, the kids hurl themselves at the rope swings, into the sand pit and over the tractor that has been retired to the play area.
