A holiday taking in two countries – a tad ambitious? Not in the slightest. Take off to Offa’s Dyke Retreat and such escapades are very easy indeed, as you’re almost on the border of England and Wales, with plenty of gorgeous scenery and outdoorsy antics on both sides of the divide.
Site is set in 3 acres with new 2023 communal space, including games room sofa snug, dinning area, new wet rooms and kitchen to be complete December 2023.
You can start gazing at that scenery without even leaving this friendly glamping site in the little village of Longtown, for the outlook here is one of the Black Mountains and the Brecon Beacons National Park. Ready for a closer look? Get those boots on and set off for a wander. The Offa’s Dyke path passes nearby on its way from Pandy to Hay-on-Wye, and there are lots of little local paths to explore too.
A stroll of a much less strenuous variety (barely a 7 minute, in fact) takes you to the local pub for home-cooked meals, local ales. If you can manage a little further (a 6 minutes walk), you can get to a fab village shop stacked with fresh and frozen food, local tipples and homemade cakes. Stock up there and trot back to the site for a picnic or barbecue (firepit provided, with firewood available to buy on site), or use the well-equipped communal kitchen to prep your eats.
5 ensuite railway carriages with kitchenette, 2 pods and 3 further carriages use shared facilities on site include a toilet block with a couple of showers; no need to bring your own towels, as you’ll be provided with these when you get here, along with bedding for your cosy sleeping quarters.

Nestled in a peaceful field beside the grounds of a beautiful 16th-century thatched cottage, our small countryside campsite offers a relaxing escape in the heart of the Cotswolds. Surrounded by open countryside, wildlife and far-reaching views, it is the perfect place to unwind and reconnect with nature.
Ideally located for exploring some of the Cotswolds' most beautiful destinations, we are just 20 minutes from the iconic village of Bibury, often described as one of the prettiest villages in England. Historic Cirencester, the capital of the Cotswolds, is nearby, while the market towns of Fairford, Lechlade and Burford are all within easy reach. The beautiful Cotswold Lakes are close by, offering watersports, nature reserves, lakeside walks, cycling routes and opportunities for swimming.
The village pub is just a five-minute walk from the campsite and is renowned for its excellent food and warm welcome (booking is strongly recommended, especially during weekends and holidays).
Guests have access to shared facilities including a fully equipped kitchen, hot showers and flushing toilets, providing comfort while preserving the traditional camping experience.
Our secluded camping field enjoys magnificent golden sunsets across the surrounding countryside and exceptionally dark skies, making it an ideal location for stargazing on clear evenings. Away from major roads and urban lighting, you can relax beside your tent and enjoy the stars, the sounds of nature and the peaceful atmosphere of rural Gloucestershire.
There are gardens to wander, abundant wildlife to spot and numerous footpaths and dog walks directly from the site. Well-behaved dogs are very welcome and will love exploring the miles of countryside surrounding the campsite.
Whether you are seeking a peaceful retreat, a base from which to explore the Cotswolds, or simply somewhere to slow down and enjoy nature, our campsite provides the perfect setting for a memorable stay.

Owl's Hollow - a quirky wooden showmans in a hidden Devon valley. Perfect secluded location for a relaxing couples getaway & off the beaten track. Beautiful hideaway in its own piece of wild. All the comforts of glamping. Rich with diverse wildlife: owls, badger, deer, fox, buzzards & more. Enjoy an outside evening fire watching the murmuration of rooks coming home to roost. Sit quietly & listen to the sounds of the babbling brook & birdsong, bathe in our luxury outdoor bath and watch the stars
Owls Hollow is a unique wooden showman’s (much bigger than a standard shepherds hut) which we have lovingly restored ourselves to offer you a unique and unusual space for that lovely escape back to nature . The showmans has a wooden mollycroft roof, to preserve this we have added an external covering, which not only adds to the quirky design but also means the inside is kept lovely and cool in the heat and cosy and warm on chilly nights when you light the wood stove. There are numerous windows to allow plenty of natural light. We have added plenty of attention to detail with our craft skills, including chainsaw carved owls!
Super comfortable double bed, cosy wood burner, kitchen, table and seating, cosy reading area, ample wardrobe and cupboard space: all make for those glamping luxuries. Outside light on porch with boot and coat area. Half a dozen eggs, tea, coffee and sugar are provided, please bring your choice of milk as we are no longer able to supply this.
Owls Hollow has power for lights and sockets. There is no internal plumbing, water is in a traditional jug and ample barrels of water with taps for ease of use are provided in the tented utility area. This also houses the fridge, washing up sink, and undercover area to sit.
All the water here is natural spring water and there is no WiFi, and rarely any phone signal (*update: unless you are with O2, possible signal)- so you can relax and just get back to nature.
Outside you have a camp fire area with seating and fire dish, which also doubles up as a large BBQ. There is an open tented utility area, also outdoor table and chairs and two sun loungers. The first two evenings ample worth of firewood is provided with your booking, further bags can be bought on site for £5 if required. We have a friendly small black cat who is likely to visit you around the fire! Welcome to shoo her away or let her be- but she is strictly not allowed in the showman’s!
It’s half a minutes walk along your path to the glamorous compost toilet (with solar lights) and the ultra special bathroom!
The quirky bathroom comprises 2 indoor areas- one with dressing room and hot shower, the other with wash basin. Only Eco friendly products can be used: we provide shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and soap for your convenience. Your towels and dressing gowns will be provided ready folded on the shower area shelving.
Outside is the wonderful outdoor bathing experience!
Relax in the deep cast iron bath watching the day go by, or the night sky (and often owls and bats!) Instant hot water means you can stay in for as long as you like, topping up as needed! Take a book and a pot of tea / glass of wine and just lay back and soak. The advantages of our spring water fed bath over hot tubs are no need for chemicals, adjust the temperature easily, eco friendly and two can still fit! There is also the option to use the attached shower head.
240v sockets available in the dressing area, hairdryer supplied.
A tent pitch is also available when booking Owls Hollow, please enquire. Camp beds, bedding and towels can be provided. Please enquire for pitch prices and extra people (more than 2)
Please note: Owls Hollow is not suitable for pets.

Weekend Trip to Yurt in the Orchard
This yurt exceeded all expectations. Thoughtfully laid out with a jacuzzi, separate kitchen in a shepherd’s hut, fire pit, covered outdoor dining area, and separate shower, everything you could need. The interior is stunning, with rich oriental colours that create such a warm, cosy atmosphere.
Waking up to the apple tree view each morning was lovely. Being in a Dark Sky Reserve meant the stargazing by the fire pit was spectacular, so peaceful and remote. Chris was a wonderful host, friendly and attentive throughout. Highly recommended!

Our best glamping experience so far! The surroundings are beautiful and so peaceful, perfect for an escape from the city life 😌 the yurt and the hut feel impossibly cozy, all the amenities are of high standard and very well-equipped. And on top of that, we arrived to a gift of eggs from the resident chickens, apple juice from the orchard and milk from local cows - what a fabulous warm welcome! Chris was also very responsive and helpful. We had an amazing time and wish we could go back soon!

We loved Hazel roundhouse. The freindliest welcome. Excellent facilities, beautifully designed. Views of the rolling countryside are great and the setting is really natural, watching a barn owl swooping over the meadow at dusk was a highlight, as well as star-gazing from the hot tub. We will definitely be returning.

This is very much a top class place. The field is surrounded by woodland and has a backwood veneer. I say veneer because the wood fired hot tubs, modern oval glass fronted sauna and pods were anything but basic. Excellent loos and showers also. Although this is already great the owners had plans to continue to develop the space but without loosing the charm and family run feel. About a 10 min drive to good local shops in Honiton and also the beach in Beer or Sidmouth. Checkout the local eggs from the amusing titled Fowlers Farm. As a foodie I though these where some of the best eggs I’ve ever had. The Heron Vineyard is also nearby which isn’t really a farm shop anymore but is a lovely space and restaurant. Its wine is not bad and good value. The Pig and River College are also nearby so this is a good place to stay if they are on your menu. About 3.5 hours drive from West London.

Weekend Trip to The T Barn
We had such a wonderful stay at the shepherd’s hut and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The setting was absolutely gorgeous, especially with the beautiful weather we were lucky enough to have — it made everything feel even more magical and relaxing.
Everything was explained so clearly on arrival, which made settling in really easy and stress-free. The hut itself was spotless, well thought out, and had everything we needed for a cosy and comfortable stay.
One of the highlights was definitely our meal at The Village Pub — it was honestly the best meal of the trip and made the whole experience feel even more special.
We had the best time and would absolutely love to come back again. Such a perfect little escape to the countryside!

We had a wonderful weekend here. The indoor skate park is an incredible feature, and we had a great time in the tree net and playing big chess. We stayed in the lovely converted horsebox and it had everything we needed. I would happily visit again to stay for a weekend or along Offa's Dyke Path.

2 nights at Hideaway Hut, Camping cabin.
Had an absolutely magical two night stay here for our anniversary. The bed is super comfy. The bath was so relaxing I'm afraid it might have ruined every other bath for me from here on out! The outdoor shower is superb, I've never felt so relaxed and energised.
The area is absolutely beautiful, we went for a walk on the gorgeous bluebell woods and the woodland commons.
Hostess was super friendly and helpful, I can't recommend it enough.

The hut was stunning, perfectly presented and stocked with towels, dressing gowns, tea / coffee / sugar, hairdryer and everything you would need to cook.
The hot tub was amazing - I had worried it would have been cold but it was perfect.
As our visit was during rainy January I had worried the hut may have been cold but it was toasty with the heater and very cosy.
A perfect getaway.

Where to go
Cheddar and Around
Jagged cliffs and rocky ravines carve out the Cheddar Gorge, where explorers can enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and caving. After taking in the AONB’s star attraction, hike up Black Down Hill for a view from the region’s highest point or cycle the scenic Strawberry Line. Don’t miss a visit to the town of Cheddar to sample Somerset’s famous cheese and cider.
Northeast Somerset & the Lakes
Sweeping gorges give way to forested valleys and lowland lakes in the northern part of the Mendip Hills. Enjoy nature walks, bird-watching, and lakeside picnics at the Chew Valley or Blagdon Lakes, or escape the crowds at a peaceful country campsite. To the north, the UNESCO city of Bath and the Cotswolds AONB are within day-trip distance.
South Mendip Hills
Hiking, cycling, and horseback riding trails traverse the southern stretch of the Mendip Hills. Adrenaline seekers should head to the Wookey Hole caves, where caving excursions incorporate abseils and Via Ferrata climbs. A short drive south, Glastonbury turns into a hippy haven each summer during the massive Glastonbury music festival, and the nearby Glastonbury Tor is both a historic landmark and a popular viewpoint.
West Mendip and the Somerset Coast
Winscombe is the gateway to the west Mendip Hills, home to some of the area’s lesser-explored hiking trails. Continue west to the coast, where sandy beaches, cliff-top walks, and lively seaside towns dot the shores of the Bristol Channel. Weston-Super-Mare, Burnham-On-Sea, and Clevedon are Somerset’s flagship beach resorts, where summer campers have a choice of seafront camping grounds.
