Why Kids (and Grown-Ups!) Love Staying on Our Vineyard Farm
When it comes to planning the perfect family holiday, finding somewhere that keeps both kids and parents happy can feel like a big task. But what if you could enjoy the best of both worlds… relaxation, adventure, and fresh countryside air—all from your own self-catering accommodation on a working vineyard and farm? Welcome to Stonehenge Hostel in Wiltshire: where rustic charm meets modern comfort, and where every stay is packed with memory-making moments at our vineyard and farm stay.
Nestled just a stone’s throw from the legendary Stonehenge, our vineyard farm stay is the ideal countryside escape for families of all shapes and sizes.
A One-of-a-Kind Farm Stay Experience
Set on a working farm and vineyard, the hostel offers a rare chance for guests to wake up among rolling fields, rows of grapevines, and the sounds of clucking chickens and baa-ing sheep. With plenty of free parking and direct access to the great outdoors, families can enjoy a slow-paced holiday without sacrificing convenience.
Why Kids Love Our Vineyard Farm
Let’s be honest: kids love animals, mud, and space to run free and we’ve got all three in abundance. During your stay, your little ones can:
- Meet and feed rare breed animals
- Cheer on our speedy racing pigs
- Try quirky farm activities like guinea pig fishing
- Explore our woodland adventure playground
- Cuddle up to smaller animals during animal encounters
- We’ve got indoor soft play and outdoor play areas while the farm is open
Not only are these experiences incredibly fun, but they’re also educational. Children learn about farm life, animal care, and the natural world in a hands-on way that’s far more exciting than a classroom.
What Grown-Ups Love About It Too
While the kids are busy making friends with goats, grown-ups can take in the peace of the countryside, sample wines from our vineyard, or simply enjoy a hot coffee in our sunlit café.
Enjoy:
- Quiet walks through the vineyard trails
- Local wines made on-site
- On-site café with fresh, homemade food
- Stunning Wiltshire sunsets
There’s something deeply relaxing about farm life, and it gives parents a chance to switch off, slow down, and reconnect as a family.

Unplug and Reconnect

You’ll leave with muddy boots, happy hearts, and maybe a few new favourite animals.

I never thought of staying at a hostel before when travelling with my son but this one was so close to Stonehenge, I thought I’d give it a try for one night. It occurred to be such a great place. My son loved the farm and the place was very clean with great facilities. I would definitely stay there again! Highly recommended.
Expedia reviewer
Stonehenge hostel is like a nice cottage with an actual farm and only 10 minutes away from Stonehenge. Highly recommended.
Miguel
Generally clean and comfortable, including a kitchen with cooker, fridge/freezer, a living room with a TV and a nice, airy conservatory with sofas. It has a cafe attached to it, which does a great English breakfast and a gorgeous farm at the back which you can explore if you arrive before your check in time. Great view of the garden and roaming peacocks. Nice sized bathroom, friendly staff and good rate compared to other places in the area. Ideal location, only a 15-minute drive from Stonehenge. Will return.

Friendly staff, the lady at reception was lovely and helpful. Excellent little farm, nice cafe and all 10 mins drive from Stonehenge.
Shelley
Great location but better if you have your own transport as is not close to any shops etc, but the local pub, The Crown does great food! A beautiful setting in the country, stunning views and very comfortable and relaxing. The rare breed farm is great for kids!
Jolene
Great value self-catering accommodation. Family farm attraction (including cafe) right next door. Near Stonehenge.

I loved how quiet and relaxing this hostel was. We were backpackers with no car, so I was a bit worried about getting here, but it turns out that you can take the bus from Salisbury to the stop at the end of the road for just a few pounds. Then, it’s a 15-minute walk down a gorgeous country road. We also loved that hostel guests could explore the farm for free – I definitely recommend feeding the animals! The baby goats were amazing and so were the tiny ponies. Also, they have some really weird ducks that will follow you around.

Very cute and cosy place to stay. It lets you escape the bustle and noise of the city which was awesome. The staff was super friendly, and I enjoyed staying here!
