Real comfortable beds with fresh linen and towels and a wood burning stove to keep cosy in the evenings. There's plenty of space for each tent, outdoor seating and firepit (tripod, steel plate, pot with lid and kettle) with simple cooking equipment including cutlery, crockery, colander, tin opener, bottle opener, fish slice, tongs etc. Its all off-grid so there’s no fridge; best to bring a cool box.
Facilities for both grass pitches and bell tents include hot showers, luxury compost loos and washing up hut. We are off-grid here, a few solar lights lead the way but this is a chance to disconnect from the buzz of life. Please note its a 30 minute walk or short drive to the shepherds hut & hot tub field.

Bell Tent: Mimi / Bridget / Naine

We’ll present you with a beautifully selected breakfast hamper including our hens eggs, locally sourced bacon, homemade beans, crumpets  and juice.

Breakfast Hamper

Nothing beats cooking over open fire. We supply a hamper with all you need to create a 3 course meal to remember. Inspired by the Argentine asado style cooking. Just build the fire and follow the instructions - its a leisurely cook so set aside 3 hours. Choose from steak, chicken or vegetarian

Dinner Hamper

The quintessential English cream tea, served in vintage crockery.  Four homemade Scones and jam with clotted cream. A pot of tea, coffee or homemade lemonade. If cake is preferred to scones then let me know

Lunch Hamper

We’ll present you with a beautifully selected breakfast hamper including our hens eggs, locally sourced bacon, homemade beans, crumpets  and juice. If you want to take it up a notch (£25) add local chipolatas, homemade granola & yoghurt, jam and farm honey and seasonal goodies from the garden when available.

Grass Pitch

Simple, luxe hut with king-sized bed, fine linens, towels, ensuite shower & compost loo, wood burning stove, kitchenette with gas hob and small fridge. Outside is set up to encourage guests to connect with nature, relax in the wood-fired hot tub, kick back in the deckchairs and cook over the firepit. We love cooking over fire and provide each hut with tripod, cast iron fire-cooking equipment. Firepit meal hampers can be added to your stay. We provide two crates of wood for each stay and there's a woodshed with an honesty box to restock. There is parking for each hut by the entrance and guests wheelbarrow their belongings to the huts.

Shepherd's Hut: Dora / Marjorie / June 

The T Barn

The site is spacious - around four acres for just ten pitches - and comprises pasture edged by woodland. We welcome tents, campervans and caravans and are happy for you to make a campfire (you will find stone ‘grates’ around the site).

Pitch occupation is limited to 5 people, one vehicle and one large tent (awnings and small ancillary tents not included).

Please book additional pitches if your party exceeds any of these maximums.

We have lots of space so allow you to choose your spot - we’re sure you’ll find somewhere just right.

Our bell tents are the perfect places if you’re looking to hide away and kick back with nature.  You’ll get all that’s great about camping with the added benefit of a fuss-free, no-hassle experience, so what’s not to love?!

Set in stunning surroundings, we have five tents, all of which have been carefully thought out to make your night under the stars as cosy as can be. We bring the home comforts, and all we ask you to bring is your sense of adventure and love for nature!

With room for up to four people, you won’t think twice about taking advantage of escaping everyday life whilst soaking up the wonderful Cotswold atmosphere.
