We stayed with our dog who loved the horses and we also spotted multiple deer which I’ve never seen before so was thrilled about that.

The tent was clean and cozy and had plenty of games/books to keep you entertained. Picking our own sunflowers in the field was a highlight, alongside relaxing by the fire on the hammock and soaking under the stars in the hot tub. Highly recommend staying here if you want uninterrupted time in nature. Will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to The Bower Farm
Our stay at the Regent Bower was so relaxing which is exactly what we wanted. After being greeted by Matt we were left on our own to experience and appreciate the facilities and area. There was everything we needed, from cooking equipment to a fridge to cleaning products to the toilet and shower facilities. Plus extra comfort items like a very comfortable bed and multiple seats to relax in, plus a hammock. They went out of our way to ensure we were comfortable in the 40 degree heat and there was plenty of shade for us to relax in as well. Still very close to Stroud for shops and worth a short drive to Gloucester, Dungog or Barrington Tops NP for a day trip.

Our family glamping trip at The Bower Farm Tent was an absolute success—we're already planning our next visit! The genuine hospitality and incredible personal touches made this experience truly unforgettable.
The owners' effort was outstanding. Traveling with three kids can be tricky, but they expertly set up the tent for all three girls' comfort. They were incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our entire stay.
The real highlight for our horse-mad eldest was the special horse riding lesson organized on-site at the Bower Farm—zero travel time and the thrill of her year! The girls also loved their brilliant, long ride on the family farm tractor.
Their generosity shone through in the stunning fresh food pack: delicious farm eggs, a tasty local wine, amazing local sourdough bread, and little treats for the kids. Every item was carefully chosen.
Finally, the setting is pure magic. We were lucky to spot kangaroos and mesmerizing fireflies! Nothing beats the hot tub and campfire beneath that incredible starry sky—far from the city lights, the stars are truly breathtaking.
Thank you for the perfect blend of comfort, adventure, and kindness. We highly recommend The Bower Farm Tent for a five-star escape!

I had the most amazing stay at The Back Road Van. Pete and Margot are generous and thoughtful, but distant hosts. This is one of those finds that you want to keep your own secret, yet tell everyone about. Highlights for me were stargazing at night by the firepit and my morning cuppas looking out at the wildlife. Already looking at the calendar for when I can return.
Thanks again, Jess (Aaron's wife)
