Farm Stays With Lambs

If you’re planning a spring getaway or long weekend break over Easter, a farm stay with lambs is a wonderful choice. Spend your days exploring the UK’s beautiful countryside while experiencing the magic of lambing season.

When is lambing season?

Lambing season can run from December through to May, although March and April are usually the busiest months when most lambs are born. It’s a great time of year to stay on a farm, with warmer days, longer evenings, and the countryside beginning to burst into life.

Lowland sheep farms, where the weather is milder and the grass grows earlier, tend to have lambs sooner in the season, while upland and hill farms typically lamb later, waiting for warmer weather and the arrival of fresh grass.

Before booking your farm stay, check what type of farm you’ll be staying on and when lambing takes place, giving you a better idea of when you’re most likely to see newborn lambs.

Read our guide to find out more about lambing season.

Lambing experiences on farms

Farms with lambs can offer several experiences for guests. On most farms you’ll be able to see lambs playing in nearby fields and interacting with their mothers, while some offer more hands-on activities such as watching lambs being born in the lambing shed or helping to bottle-feed orphans.

A farm stay with lambs is particularly well suited to a family holiday, giving children plenty to see and do without having to venture far from your accommodation. As well as meeting the lambs, they may be able to get involved with other farm activities, such as collecting eggs or feeding other animals, creating memorable experiences for the whole family.

Although many farms with lambs are dog friendly, if you’re bringing your four-legged friend along, remember to keep them on a lead when around sheep and lambs to avoid worrying them.

Find your perfect farm stay with lambs

Whether you’re planning a family holiday or looking for a romantic break, a farm stay with lambs is a fantastic way to get a taste of rural life, whatever your age. Choose from rustic barn conversions, traditional farmhouses, contemporary lodges, or cosy glamping retreats, and start planning your perfect countryside getaway today.
