A farm holiday promises an intimate atmosphere free of crowds of people and the usual hustle-and-bustle. For families, it also offers an ideal alternative to staying at a hotel. While the little ones expend their boundless energy playing table tennis, going in-line skating, riding all manner of child-size vehicles, doing arts and crafts, kicking a ball around a pitch, or just chasing each other across a meadow, parents can enjoy some uninterrupted calm on a comfortable lawn blanket or deck chair.

Meanwhile, the chances of boredom are virtually nil – there's always something to do! Kids often take a keen interest in milking cows, or even in working in the stables. Then there are rabbits and kittens that also need looking after, of course. Overall, children come away with a much better idea of how various farm animals live and all the jobs a farmer has to do.

Whether you plan to stay active outdoors or simply enjoy the comfort of your nice warm bed in lush green environs, a holiday on the farm against the incomparable backdrop of the Bavarian Alps is a heavenly experience. Once you’ve tried it, you're certain to return, be it with your family, your partner, or on your own. Our region's homesteads all have their own particular qualities – not to mention different hosts and families – and that makes every farm holiday unique.
