Escape to the countryside at Meadow View, a peaceful glamping retreat on a working farm near the picturesque village of Tewin in Hertfordshire. With just two spacious bell tents, the site offers an intimate and relaxing experience surrounded by nature and farm life.
Wake up to the sound of the cockerel crowing and birds singing, then enjoy your morning coffee while taking in views of the farm's beautiful Highland cattle. Located beside the chicken pen, you'll also be greeted by geese, peacocks and ducks, while pigs and horses can be seen around the farm.
Guests have access to a communal kitchen area, a picnic bench, shower and toilet, providing all the essentials for a comfortable countryside stay.
Public footpaths run directly through the farm, making Meadow View an ideal base for scenic walks and exploring the surrounding Hertfordshire countryside. For a true farm-to-table experience, visit the farm's honesty hut, where you can purchase freshly laid eggs from the chickens, geese and ducks.
Adding to its unique charm, the site is enclosed by handmade fencing of welded horseshoes created by myself, to form a truly one-of-a-kind feature.
Whether you're looking to unwind in nature, enjoy the company of friendly farm animals or simply experience the tranquillity of rural life, Meadow View offers a memorable glamping escape in the heart of the Hertfordshire countryside.

Fellows Farm

CA · 1 unit
Welcome to Fellows Farm — 13 acres of organic Suffolk countryside, big skies and proper farm life.
Nestled in the village of Gosbeck, Fellows Farm is home to our family (Ben, Femke, Rory & Aran), our market garden, micro bakery, vineyard, weaving studio, flock of sheep — and a beautifully spaced, private campsite.
This is a working, Soil Association–certified organic farm where much of the food you’ll eat is grown metres from where you’ll sleep. Solar-powered, borehole-fed, and surrounded by pasture and wildlife, it’s a place to slow down, cook together, watch the sunset over 12-mile views and wake to birdsong.
Stay in one of our 5m bell tents (one with a double bed, one with a double + single) or our cosy shepherd’s hut, all thoughtfully scattered across the meadow for space and privacy. We also offer the whole site as a private campsite for up to 30 guests — perfect for gatherings, celebrations and retreats.
At the heart of the site is our beautiful barn with a wood-fired pizza oven, long dining tables, hot water, fridges and freezers, crockery and plenty of space to feast. Cook for yourselves or let us make pizzas (or something special) for you. Breakfast and seasonal produce boxes from our market garden are also available.
There’s a wildlife pond, fire pits and barbecues, a beer keg tap, and a sound system (with a gentle 11pm curfew for amplified music). Compost toilets and a heated rustic outdoor shower keep things comfortable but close to nature. Charging sockets are available in the barn.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome (just not in the sheep field).
We’re a short stroll from Gosbeck Wood (a Triple SSSI woodland), 15 minutes from the market town of Debenham, 20 minutes from Woodbridge, and around 45 minutes from the beautiful Suffolk coast. Coddenham community shop is a 5-minute drive (or a lovely hour’s walk). Helmingham Hall and its stunning walled garden are just down the road.
Come for dark skies, long tables, wood-fired evenings and food grown from the soil beneath your feet.

Weekend Trip to Goldcrest - Breakaway Camping
We stayed in Robins Nest. An 8 birth statistic caravan. The beds were all made up and lovely and clean. Lots of cushions in the lounge area to make yourself nice and comfortable. All the staff are very friendly and happy to help with anything. Even took the cover off the sun umbrella for us.
There was a lovely family on the Medows in a tent who either waved or spoke while passing. This is our third time this year staying in the caravan. It’s peaceful, no tv programs but dvds are available to watch, along with bird songs and other animals to listen to. We hope to have a couple more weekends before it’s too cold to sit outside. We didn’t need the gas heating but needed and used the fan last time we went.
Looking forward to next time

Beautiful campsite! It was so well maintained and cleaned by Alex. She was so friendly, welcoming and easy to reach! The showers are gas powered so there was hot water, plus they had a wonderful view - such a luxury! The glamping tent was beautiful, spacious and comfortable. Unfortunately the fire ban had come in before we arrived however this had no effect on our stay! Thank you so much we had a wonderful stay ❤️

2 nights at Goldcrest - Breakaway Camping
We really enjoyed our long weekend at Robin's Nest. The birds were singing and the sun didn't stop shining. Everything in the caravan was clean and ready for us. Beds all made up. So quiet in the evening.
Lovely wooded area out of the sun's heat and a seating area in the shade near a wildlife pond, mayflies, dragonflies butterflys. Just beautiful and relaxing. Booking again very soon. We love it.

Lovely peaceful paddock with a really comfortable double bed in our bell tent. Great hot showers and good facilities. We also enjoyed the hammock and swing chairs and stopping by to say hello to the chickens in the mornings! Very close to the beautiful beach at Seasalter and we really enjoyed our oysters in Whitstable too. A lovely relaxing few days, would recommend.

I had a really lovely time with my two kids, 8 and 6 at the camp site. They loved their time paddling and kayaking in the stream and the farm animals were very friendly. Morag really made us feel comfortable in the space. I would definitely come again!

This was a truly unique experience that my two boys (6 and 8) loved. Morag made us feel very welcome and gave them lots of opportunities to interact up close with the animals, the rabbits and pigs being their favourites. The camp has a relaxed feel and is really welcoming of well-behaved dogs. Having a river that the kids (and dog) can play in all day was a treat in the hot weather. I would recommend taking some cooking pans because they did get taken by other campers, making them in scarce supply. This is not a luxury experience but one that certainly puts you at ease, with comfortable surroundings and all the basics you need. My boys have talked about it every day since we have been and are keen to go back.

Fleets Paddock is a truly magical place. We were a group of families returning once again and had the best time - the kids didn’t want to leave.
The Periwinkle was comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed to have an easy and restorative few days in the Kent countryside.
