The Feather Down concept was developed originally by Luite Moraal, a veteran of Disney and Center Parcs. It was modelled on the simple interior of a typical farm-house from the 19th century. So, for example, the empty space under our famous ‘cupboard bed’ is where the cattle would be brought in at night to keep both the family and their precious animals warm and safe. The first farm to open in the UK in 2006 was Manor Farm in the South Downs in Hampshire and they are still with us. Sadly Luite passed away in 2011 but by then Feather Down had expanded to France and Germany as well as Holland and the UK. Now in 2021, Feather Down can be found in over 75 farms all across Europe where we have welcomed over 200,000 guests in nearly 20 years.
