Forget the creaking houses with rationed hot water or the overzealous sheepdog that might have scarred you from childhood – staying on a farm has never been so tempting. The farm-to-fork movement is only accelerating and at spaces across the UK you can jump straight to the source by booking a room and getting a peek of rural working life on a weekend break. The delight of diving into a breakfast of implausibly yellow eggs is perhaps only trumped if you collected them yourself; the same with oddly shaped beetroot ready to be roasted or a perfectly dirty potato. Stand by for a taste of The Good Life and greedy gulps of the fresh air.
