Feather Down Farm Days Sunninglye Farm

The creak of the farmyard gate, the low murmur of cattle settling at dusk, the particular quiet that only comes when you're tucked into proper working farmland — that's Sunninglye Farm, a Feather Down site deep in the Cornish countryside.

This is one for families wanting something a bit different from the usual campsite bustle, or anyone who fancies falling asleep to the sounds of the farm rather than the A30. You've got space for tents, campervans and caravans, and you're in Cornwall's quieter heartland — the sort of spot where hedgerows are thick with wildflowers and lanes twist between ancient field boundaries. It's the kind of place where kids actually get muddy and nobody minds.

Facilities are straightforward — toilets and showers onsite — so you're covered for the basics. Ask about campfires when you arrive, as policies can vary. Expect a genuine farm atmosphere rather than manicured pitches, and that lovely sense of being somewhere real rather than just somewhere scenic.
