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! 

Each tent offers exceptional height, plenty of room and is kitted out with handy essentials to make life under canvas that little bit more convenient. 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.

Step inside our tents and say hello to a comfy camping haven. Each tent has a double bed with a real, comfortable mattress to give that home from home comforting feel! With a futon sofa bed and a beautiful tea light chandelier, your night under the stars is off to a great start. 

We appreciate that privacy is important so have positioned our tents 15 meters apart to allow for privacy, as well as social distancing.

- Double mattress bed with bed linen, warm duvet, pillows, extra blankets and cushions

Hawthorn - Fully furnished with en-suite eco loo

Little Oak - Fully Furnished

Big Skies Camping

**Andrew's field is beautiful and idyllic but has limited facilities, it has a tap for drinking water, and waste water disposal point (ELSan). There is no electricity on site. **

The best things about the field:
Peaceful and unspoiled
Close to nature -wild deer often wander through the filed to drink from the river. The field is an excellent place for bird watching; Kingfishers, Cuckoos and Woodpeckers are regularly seen. We have a Little Owl in the area which is a little more elusive. 
If you camp you can fish for free on the River Avon.
You can launch Kayaks/ canoes directly from the field into the river Avon - a great place to start your adventure. 
Family run - the field is run by Andrew and his family who are thrilled that campers take joy in the beauty of their field, they can give you local hints and tips and are always happy to help. 
Camp fires are allowed - so it properly feels like camping. 
The field is still a hidden gem and therefore does not get overcrowded.
The field has beautiful vistas in all directions and is South facing so warms up nicely when the sun is out whilst benefiting from the cooling breeze from the river. 
You can walk to three pubs from the campsite.
​
The limited facilities means it is most suited to caravans and campervans however if you have a tent and a camping toilet you are welcome to come. 

Grass Pitch

Andrew's Field

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
