For those who hate the concrete jungles of cities, very few experiences beat waking up and witnessing the beauty of the English countryside in all its glory. It is all about large expanses of farmlands, fresh crisp air, and occasional neighing of a horse, bleating of sheep, grunting of pigs and chirping of birds as they welcome a brand new day. Farm stays are not only relaxing, but also therapeutic; they are very effective in disconnecting you from the stifling hustles of the city so that you can de-stress, and recharge your inner reserves to feel alive again. If you have never tried them, then you should; at least once every year, and the United Kingdom should be your preferred destination. Read below for some of the top farm stays in the United Kingdom.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on April 08, 2024.

They include air conditioning, a smart TV with Netflix, hot tub bath, an outdoor hot tub, and WI-FI. With the views and the presence of a variety of farm animals, this is an epic dwelling that will please you in a myriad of ways.

4. A rustic steading with a lazy river running through it (from USD 35)

If you are looking for a farm stay for a musical, yoga or writing retreat, then this rustic steading on 100 acres (40ha) of farmland with a lazy river meandering through it will delight your heart. Stunning views, access to lots of walking and biking paths, and plenty of wildlife will add to the peace and tranquility of the place and grant you a superbly relaxed stay. There is a very basic kitchen with all the essentials you will need to fix a meal, and there is also an open-plan living area where you can relax as you get inspired, or simply get lost in thought with the beautiful views. The homestead, however, doesn’t have a shower, hot running water, phone/WI-FI signal, or a TV. It is a place for those who want to completely detach.
