**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.

***Saturday night is pizza night during our peak season 25th June - 13th August but we may have the odd cheeky impromptu pizza nights during the rest of the year so we may drop you an email to ask if you would like pizza night. Nothing better than a homemade oven pizza!  We ask that you pre-order, but picture yourself cosying up around the fire-pit, glass of wine or steaming mug of hot chocolate in hand and taking in some of the very best views the South West has to offer! Glamping cuisine at its finest!***

A 6 Metre 'Stargarzer' tent with an added 'Airbud' pup so depending on your family grouping, these each sleep anything from two to six people. Furnishings and decor throughout are stylishly top-notch so it's not just proper beds and rugs, but also soft robes, cut flowers, sofas, armchairs and coordinated colours. Outside, you get your own fully equipped cabana-style kitchen. You won't have to bring a thing and attached to this are pristine hot-water shower facilities, loo, and washing-up area. The knives are sharp, the pots and pans un-battered, while dining is at solid tables and chairs on matching crockery with proper glassware.

6M Stargazer + 3M Airbud

The 'Mahal' is the showstopper, a simply enormous specimen, the sort of thing a desert potentate might entertain in which sleeps at least eight in four separate rooms, with a whopping 65 square metres of floor space.

Lotus Belle Mahal

A 6 Metre 'Stargarzer' tent.

At this point, things start to get, well, even more boutique and luxury, for want of better words. Finnish wood-fired hot tub? That's a yes. Hammocks in wooded glades, comfy sun-loungers, and an impressive fire bowl that's almost three-foot across? Yes again. A communal, outdoor honesty bar with its own drink-stocked fridge, firepit, and free-to-use pizza oven is a place to chill, while a potter around the well-tended grounds turns up rose-scented grassy paths, vegetable and herb gardens, orchards, and scratching chickens. It's all extremely well thought out and playful, too, as the invitation to curl up for the night on an outdoor iron bed attests. Ask for a telescope and one will be provided. 

6M Lotus Belle Stargazer

The words 'boutique' and 'luxury' get bandied about a lot in glamping circles, but for the site at Stargazer Glamping in Herefordshire border country, they are probably understatements. Let's start with the location; a Georgian country pile in the outstandingly beautiful Wye Valley, which straddles the England-Wales border. It's a land of misty mornings, shaded forests, valley meadows, and mountain views, not to mention glorious sunsets and star-filled skies — if glamping magic is going to happen anywhere, it's here.
