Lower Shaw Farm

A little slice of heaven in Swindon! I have been to 2 yoga weekends and felt restored, relaxed and nourished. Such good value for money, a welcoming energy and fabulous hosts.

A lovely atmosphere and nothing too much trouble.

An idyllic place of peace and healing

Fabulous people,Fabulous place,We need more LSF's!

A refreshingly peaceful and supportive environment with many people to meet and many lessons to learn...

Love this place...been visiting for nearly 40 years!

Magnificent place, great for families. Andrea and Matt are excellent hosts, very welcoming and hospitable. One of my favourite places in the UK.

Step out Swindon walk from here every Monday at 2pm the farm has all facilities.

Appalling. I attended two workshops spread over at least five years at this establishment and both times were awful. I found the hosts, especially the elderly man, to be snotty, and discriminatory. Unsuitable for the sort of guests that frequent this establishment, I was purposely pushed aside. Interestingly though my money seemed to have been good enough for them to keep it. Go somewhere where the hosts appreciate you.

This place is absolutely amazing, my kids had a wonderful time here. It is a hidden gem and a community asset to Swindon.I've lived in Swindon my whole life and had no idea this place existed, hidden away and tucked in between Old Shaw village and the Shaw residential estate. It's hard to believe that such a tranquil place exists in the location that it's in.Due to Covid, we had booked 3 hours exclusively on the farm. We met the farmer Matt on arrival, who was very friendly and welcoming. He talked us through what was on the farm, where we could go (pretty much anywhere) and what we could do. We had our own toilet, and kitchen to make tea/coffee. He left contact details if we needed anything and then went about his own business on the farm, leaving us to our own devices.So first up, the kids went on the playpark where there was loads to keep them entertained including- a huge hammock, a rope swing, sandpit, football and plenty more. We then went on the 'Welly walk' which lead us to the 'deep dark forest' which was a great place for my kids to explore. We then visited the campfire garden, pond, wish tree and fed the pigs.Lunch was up next which we brought ourselves and ate in the sun, before visiting the very cute baby chicks. My kids then spent a considerable time playing in 'Dove Cottage' before going on the tractor, feeding the sheep and hens, and then finished back at the Cottage to play again.All in all, £10 per child plus £5 for myself= £25 for 3 hours entertainment was incredibly good value. I thought we would be finished after 2 hours, but there was so much to see and do that the 3 hours flew by before we knew it.Matt and his wife Andrea were amazing hosts, very kind and welcoming to their beautiful farm. If you're looking for a place to take your family during these difficult times then this place is it, my kids loved every minute of it. My two year old cried when we had to go and my six year old asked if we could stay longer next time!I couldn't recommend this place highly enough, and we will definitely be coming back soon!
