We’ve just arrived home from our glamping weekend at West Midlands Camping and honestly, we already can’t wait to return. We booked a last-minute family weekend away wanting more time outdoors and a break from busy life, and it ended up being one of the loveliest weekends we’ve had together. As a family of five, the yurt was the perfect size and had everything we needed, including pots, pans, and all the little touches that made it feel comfortable from the moment we arrived. The outdoor fire pit was a huge hit and made cooking outside feel like a real adventure for the kids. The weather was beautiful while we were there, so we spent the days using the hot tub as a cool dipping pool and the evenings relaxing in it under the stars. The location itself is absolutely stunning, surrounded by green fields, peaceful countryside, and wonderful animals everywhere you look. Chris was the most amazing host. Her love for the animals and the farm completely shines through, and she made such an effort to involve the children in farm life. They loved helping herd the sheep, feeding the animals, and even hosing down Dave the emu and his friends to keep them cool in the heat. Meeting the llamas, donkeys, Zack the horse, all of Chris’s dogs, and having little Archie stay in the yurt overnight was the highlight of the trip for the kids. Thank you, Chris, for creating such a special little sanctuary in the countryside. Your warmth and passion are infectious, and we left with the best memories.

We loved our time here. The yurt has everything you need and is ideally situated for Peak District walks. Our children loved learning about the farm animals and watching feeding time and the family hosts are lovely. We would love to come again.

Absolutely beautiful and special site. Especially amazing if you have animal loving kids like us!
Excellent yurts, really cosy and had everything we needed. Chris was the perfect host, welcoming but also left us to have a relaxing weekend.
Hot tub was great and so was the friendly animals! The red lion pub and chestnut tree cafe were great highlights.
Already planning on returning and hiring both yurts!

We had a fantastic weekend at Sarah's camping yurt accommodation, Sarah was an absolutely fantastic hosts, allowing us to check in an hour later and let us take our time on departure. The yurt had everything you could want and had the biggest bed I have ever seen and so comfortable. The love Sarah has put in to the yurts shone through and I can't wait to return for more fun and making happy memories.
Thankyou Sarah, you made our weekend a beautiful memory.

Weekend Trip to Stamford Meadows Glamping
I am happy to report having a wonderful experience despite being caught in a storm. Initially I had considered cancelling my booking in the face of weather warnings yet I was so pleased to have persisted. The yurt, hot tub and other amenities were beautifully prepared and felt safe and secure. While the location was just what I was seeking. The experience was to provide an occasion for my partners birthday and this was well received.
My thanks to Amelia for thoughtfully creating a lovely, charming and relaxing space to be enjoyed.

Beautiful place. Very friendly people throughout the farm. Willow yurt was our little home for October half term.
The Yurt itself was basic (which is what we needed with two young kids). Double and single futons were comfy for the kids and the double bed was really comfy too! We kept it super cosy with the log burner. Plenty of logs and kindling provided. We loved the fire pit outside too.
Our car was too low to make it up the slope to the yurt so we left it at the bottom and ferried our stuff up. Which didn’t bother us at all.
We were given a tour of the farm (on request) and also put in touch with the owner of the two beautiful Icelandic horses. She was so kind and allowed us to meet them and even have a ride! We also met the goats, geese, sheep, cows, chickens and cockerels (be warned these guys make themselves known from about 4.30am!).
We had a brilliant time and would definitely think about coming back.

What an amazing weekend we had. The kids (11&12) we're in their element and there were tears when it was time to go.
Had to be careful that my daughter didn't sneak Alfie into the van home...
Wonderful host!

Very relaxing stay, didn't want to leave. Didn't know too much about Stanford and the surrounding area. Luckily a beautiful town within easy walking distance from the Yurt. Also really enjoyed a visit to Burghley House which is a short drive.

The orchard yurt site was incredible comfortable. It was a perfect place to spend a relaxing weekend. The site is exactly as described, and the host Amelia was very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. So many of the little details were thought of, making it a very memorable stay. Extra convenient is that the site is about a 10-15 minute walk from town, which is also a lovely place to visit.

Where to go
Bradgate Park & Swithland Wood
The big go-to outdoor playground for citizens of Leicester, Bradgate Park is a delightful old deer park and a montage of moors, crags, and woods seeming more similar to the Peak District than to the suburb-adjacent country park it is. Come to walk, explore wildlife-reclaimed industrial land, bird-watch in Swithland Woods, and visit the former home of Lady Jane Grey, Britain’s shortest-reigning monarch.
Moira & The National Forest
The area around Moira was heavily scarred by its former coal mining industry, which was why it was chosen as the location for the National Forest. This major reforestation project straddles parts of Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Staffordshire, combining existing old-growth forest with newer plantations, and has rejuvenated the area as an outdoor destination for walkers, cyclists, and horse-riders. Ex-mining village Moira now hosts the National Forest Discovery Centre, some restored mining attractions, and camping options nearby.
Ashby Canal
The Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal links Leicestershire’s Moira and Warwickshire’s Bedworth, with the section between Bedworth and Snarestone navigable. Interesting sights along its course include the Battlefield Line heritage railway between Shackerstone and Shenton, plus the Bosworth Field battle site. The canal winds close to several campsites catering to tent campers, caravanners, and glampers.
Grand Union Canal
The UK’s longest canal brushes the northeast of Charnwood Forest at villages like Mountsorrel and nearby Sileby, with its convenient railway station. The 137-mile waterway, connecting Birmingham and London, is full of surprises, showing off a greener, quieter side to the big towns it passes through and crossing some pretty countryside too. Narrowboat, walk, or cycle the towpath, visit idyllic canal-side pubs and camp at unique waterside sites like Broome Island near Quorn—accessible only by boat.
