Enclosed in the valley bottom, the Water Meadow is surrounded by mature trees. The one-acre lake sits close to the chalk stream, and there's another smaller wildlife lake too so you are never more than 10 metres away from water. 
​

Pitches are mown into the meadow and are generous in size, with plenty of space between you and other pitches.This year we are opening up more spots around the lake and at Meadows end. You won't be able to choose your exact spot in advance as we rotate pitches to protect the ground but you can guarantee your pitch will be next to some water, be it the lake or the stream. Whilst you can't swim in the lake, you can fish, and if you need to get your feet wet then the Sturkel chalk stream is great for dipping your toes in and splashing about. 
​

On arrival and departure day, you will be able to drive down to the start of the Water Meadow where you can borrow a wheelbarrow or trolley or if you are a bit further away we'll lend a motorised hand. 
​
There is a lot of un-fenced water so care must be taken day and night and children supervised at all times. 

For the Withy Hut, please ensure all washing up is done, and everything is tidy
When visiting the Water Meadow, as water is all around children do need to be closely supervised at all times. Water Meadow camping is for tents only. 

Greener Camping Club membership required. Please add it on extra products if you're not a member.

The Water Meadow

Welcome to the Withy Hut. It's an original Farris' Shepherd's hut which was built in Shaftesbury over a hundred years ago.  The hut has been on the farm for over 30 years but was lovingly restored in late 2021 so everyone can get a chance to enjoy the pleasure of somewhere comfy, simple and original to stay.

Complete with a double bed, a small log burner for cooler nights, and willow storage baskets for your belongings, the Withy Hut is the ultimate no-fuss charm for a cosy get-away.

The hut is up on the Ridge. Outside you'll find the field kitchen with its open window framing the view over the Water Meadow. Equipped with a gas burning stove, fridge with freezer drawer, and all the pans & crockery you'll need to cook up a storm, you can choose to take your dinners in the kitchen on the long table, or eat outdoors by the fire pit.

The pitch has its own private outdoor shower shack with compost toilet, sink and hot gas shower a few short steps from the hut. 

The Withy Hut sleeps two, but there is also room to put up a reasonable size tent or campervan on the pitch should you want to have up to three extra guests. Just add a note to your booking if you want to add extra guests and we will sort it out for you.

We do permit dogs but note the hut can only accommodate one large dog or two medium / small dogs. Please provide your dog bed, and please do not allow the dogs on the (human!) bed. The internal space is small within the hut so if you do bring your dogs you'll need to squeeze them in the hut with you or bring a pup tent. They will need to be kept on a lead as we are a working farm.  

The Withy Hut and private outdoor bathroom are off-grid, with battery-powered lighting. The field kitchen has an electric supply for the fridge and a place to charge your phone. 

We supply:

High-quality bed linen and duvet for the Shepherds Hut and towels for two people (if you add extra campers, they will need to provide their own)

Toilet paper, Faith in Nature shower gel, shampoo & conditioner, washing up liquid and hand soap.

Basic cooking essentials such as salt, pepper, sunflower oil, tea towels, bins and bin bag, as well as a compost caddy for all of your food waste. Bio-degradable dog poo bags.

Kitchen equipment - utensils, plates, bowls and mugs, cups, cutlery, kettle, pots and pans, stove-top espresso maker, under-counter fridge with small freezer drawer, 2 ring gas stove

Torches and lanterns to brighten up the dark.

Generous first load of logs for the woodburner and fire pit

You can add an additional 3 people to your booking, to pitch up next to the Shepherds hut in their own tent or campervan.

£100 refundable damage deposit required with booking.

Mobile phone signal available. No WiFi

Greener Camping Club membership required. Please add it on extra products if you're not a member.

Dogs must be kept on a lead as there can be straying chickens, cats and children.

The Withy Hut

Woodfrys Farm

small and secluded Holyrood Farm Campsite is in Dorset countryside overlooking the Blackmore Vale, within easy walking distance of the pubs and shops of Shaftesbury. It's close to several good footpaths for walking too – or you could take things up a notch with a stagger up Shaftesbury's Gold Hill, the famously steep cobbled street used several times as a set for the big and small screen…?

Those spectacular vale views are from Holyrood's working farm, with sheep, rare-breed pigs and Dexter cattle (standard), alpacas (less so) and a badgers' watch (nocturnal trips ahoy). The vibe is wild camping, but there's a shower available all season.

Campfires – of course – are allowed, to sizzle up the breakfast bacon and other farm food sold by Jason and his team (order these bits when you arrive): other food (and beery?) bits can be sorted 10 minutes' walk away at the supermarkets and independent shops of Shaftesbury.

A large hand crafted Shepherds Hut privately situated at the lower end of the site with a view of King Alfred's Tower and a doorway opening onto fields and hedge rows. This beautiful Shepherds Hut was made on a local farm, where wood was cut and seasoned for part of the frame, the curved beams and the handmade oak windows. It had been a long time ambition of the farmers to design and produce a Shepherds Hut to a high specification. 

The farmer's time was limited and his 20 year old son took on the completion of this project, paying attention to a strong construction and the finishing details. Once delivered it has been my pleasure to design and hand craft the interior, with the help of a good friend.

On those cold or wet evenings why not sit and enjoy an evening in with a book and a hot beverage. Gabriel now has a retro wood burning stove to use on request.

When only one or two adults use the Hut, seating consists of two very comfortable rocking chairs, which can be pulled around the small comforting wood burner for when the weather is less inviting outside.

There is a kitchen area with a small Belfast sink (water is brought in from the private stand pipe) A double gas hob and a preparation area. This same unit offers a double cupboard and draw for your choice of storage. Crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils along with a small welcome pack of Somerset food is provided. 

The lighting and a USB charging point are solar powered. Battery operated Tilly lamps are available for portable or additional lighting.
