We are a family run farm situated in the beautiful Frome valley. The farm has a range of interests from the traditional Jersey milking cows to a community of workshops used by local craftsmen. The cafe serves cream teas from Easter to the end of September and pizzas are sold in evenings during the summer months.
Ours is a small family run camp site with the River Frome on one side, next to the medieval buildings of Stowford Farm. The river is suitable for fishing, boating, swimming and paddling. Historic Bradford-on-Avon is only a 5 minute drive and the City of Bath 15 minutes. For those who enjoy more rural pleasures, 200 metres from the campsite Farleigh Hungerford boasts the only river swimming club in the country, and you can become an instant member for a very small fee.

Handcrafted, eco-conscious stays in harmony with nature.
Tucked away in a secluded pocket of countryside, Nordic Glamping offers an off-grid retreat designed for those who seek peace, privacy and a gentler pace of life.
Our four beautifully handcrafted yurts sit within ten acres of unspoilt organic hay and wildflower meadow surrounded by ancient woodland, thick hedgerows, a bubbling stream, a weather-led newt pond and charming little bridges. There is a lot to explore!
This untouched, undulating landscape is home to thoughtfully designed, eco-friendly facilities: composting toilets, hot copper-headed showers, fresh running chalk stream filtered water and a covered kitchen and dining area. Shaded spaces for gathering or unwinding allow you to unwind and disconnect in nature comfortably.
Each yurt has been handcrafted by ourselves and contains everything you need for a cosy stay on site. Our handmade beds have comfortable mattresses and are dressed with organic cotton or linen bedding, wool blankets and super soft pillows.
Everything here is off-grid for a low as impact to nature as possible - although a reliable 4G signal is on hand for those absolutely necessary connections ;-)
Nordic Glamping shares Botswicky Copse with award-winning organic farmer Helen Browning. Together, we’re committed to working with the land and not against it - ensuring its vitality for generations to come.
We’re proud members of the Greener Camping Club, which helps support more sustainable, low-impact camping in the UK.
To stay with us, we kindly ask that one person per booking is, or becomes, a member. A seasonal membership is just £12 and supports our shared vision of responsible travel and eco-conscious living.

We were met on arrival with the nicest host. She went out of her way to help us with every query. Lovely pizza, nice family-friendly campsite. Good vibes. The amenities provided with the glamping package were impressive - far better than we’ve experienced before.

The shepherds hut was fabulous. Lovely quiet, rural location with some excellent dog walks close by. The hut itself was well appointed with fantastic ‘extras’: a fresh crusty loaf, eggs from the owners chickens, butter, milk, huge marshmallows for toasting, biscuits, jam, etc. Great fire pit with wood and firelighters. The hit has an ensuite bathroom with flushing toilet and hot shower. The bed was really comfortable and extra blankets are provided for chilly nights, plus a wood-burning stove and a plug in heater if needed. There is a regular fridge, with ice-box and a 2-burner gas hob for quick fry-ups.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place - we had a fantastic stay.

Weekend Trip to Nordic Glamping at Botswicky
The Yurt was lovely and well setup. Loved the lights and fire place inside to warm it up when it got cold in the evening. The site had chairs and a fire pit setup with wood available to buy which was great as we didn’t have to try and find some before arriving. Would really recommend!

This is a lovely place to stay. The railway carriage was very comfortable and very well laid out, packing a lot of functionality into a cozy space. The grounds are beautiful and quiet. It’s just a short drive to several must see places like Bath and Avebury henge.

David and Jasper went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care off. The campsite is near town, just a 20 minutes walk along the river. The facilities at the campsite are primitive, but adequate and clean. Loved the hot showers! We stayed in a yurt and that was very comfortable and very well equipped. Our kids (and the other kids at the campsite) spent most of the time in and around the tree with a swing, so nice! They called it the best campsite ever! Hope to come back one day!

Absolutely amazing! Couldn’t have asked for more from Emma and Vidar (hosts) or the accommodation we stayed in (Hazel). Beautiful, clean and tidy site. Equally as pristine sleeping, cooking and toilet/shower facilities too. We stayed one night but will be back for more.

Beautiful location, we loved staying in the Shepherds Hut. Loads of thought has been put into the space, lovely individual garden with seating, hammocks, so nice to eat outside in the sunshine & to be able to use the outdoor hot tub after a swim. The spa was fab & swimming in the pond was tonic for the soul. Amanda & Rob were great hosts, & they have definitely achieved what they have set out to do - provide people with an incredible place to slow down, appreciate nature & reset. Thank you

We loved it. The meadow is beautiful and during our week in May we awoke to the sound of cookoos every morning - joy. We were in the smaller Yurt which was really warm and comfortable. David was really available and bought us wood for the fire when we needed. Classic camping and a wonderful escape from the city! Thanks David.

Weekend Trip to Romantic Country Glamping
Fantastic shepherd's hut. The location was reachable by public transport and walking (train to Trowbridge, X34 bus to Southwick Post Office, 15 min walk) so car isn't essential. The indoor heater made a huge difference, and the provided cake, bread, eggs, jam etc. were amazing and very generous. In reach of some good walks too. Would definitely plan to come here again, really loved it.

Fabulous hosts who made us very welcome throughout. The farm sits in a beautiful location that felt remote, but wasn’t more than 5 minutes drive to anything you needed. The welcome pack has a multitude of great suggestions for days out. We chose the easy wins, a day in the sun on the Jurassic Coast and a trip to the new Stonhenge visitor centre.
The Cabin has an enormous cooking/dining/living room that works well for getting the whole family involved in meal times.
Our mornings started with a work through the orchard collecting fallen apples for feeding the pigs followed by a guided walk down to the furthest paddock to hand feed the sheep, a lasting memory for the children.

Just back from a one night stay in the Ash Yurt as a family of 4. Absolutely loved it. Beautifully crafted accommodation with amazing attention to detail. Spacious inside, very comfy beds and the added bonus of a log burner.
Great to sit around the fire pit with the children, we had a perfect star filled sky.
It was an unseasonably chilly night (late Sept) but our thoughtful hosts had catered for this before arrival with extra thick duvets/hot water bottles and a supply of firewood - we were very snug.
Kitchen area is well stocked with everything you could need. Clean showers and toilets - a lovely site.
Great communication from hosts (thank you). Would love to come back.

We had a wonderful stay in the little hut. It was well equipped with everything we needed and had lots of private space outside to play, relax, cook and also soak in the tub. The firewood was well stocked and we enjoyed a few nights of stargazing too. We tried our hand at fishing in the stream without any luck and enjoyed seeing the horses in the fields and my son loved feeding the pigs. The hosts were wonderfully helpful and very friendly, with advice on places to visit nearby too.

Weekend Trip to Nordic Glamping at Botswicky
We had an amazing time in our Yurt and will definitely be back! Some much needed rest with little hassle and Nordic Ash is just what we needed. Bed is super comfy & the yurt is tastefully decorated plus added extras of lights, a battery pack, deckchairs, parasol, table etc / basically everything has been thought of! The kitchen has everything that you need but still great quality (especially loved the plates!!) & the compost loo & shower are clean and work well. The price is very reasonable & I really appreciated only being able to book a night (although would happily come back for more!) as many others have minimums that can make stays quite expensive. Logs & firewood was provided for the pit and even a buggy to pull your luggage. The walk to the pub was pleasant & quick, plus great food there too, even though there was the ability to cook everything at the site. Thank you for having us we will definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Oakhill Ponds
We had an amazing time on Rob & Amanda's land. It is so beautiful and relaxing and the swimming pond & sauna was such a treat. It's one of those places where photos and words can't do it justice, you have to see it! All amenities were there, accommodation was gorgeous and we were very well looked after. Would come back in a heartbeat!!

Nick is a great host, who made the trip truly special for us and our kids. From the parking lot he picked us/ our luggage up with a tractor 🚜 and explained all the facilities of the hut in detail. We enjoyed the open air hot tub twice and had a great BBQ over the fire pit. We also baked self-made pizza in the gas oven. The time passed so quickly that we didn't even leave the farm and stayed there all the time. I am sure we created long lasting memories for/with our children as we could feed the pigs and horses and play with the straw.

I had an amazing stay at Feltham’s Farm Organic Cabin. The seclusion was perfect for a relaxing getaway, and I loved the quirky and comfortable vibe. The very big pigs added a unique charm, and the closeness to walking trails made it easy to explore the beautiful countryside. Very dog friendly!
Penny and Marcus were lovely hosts, making us feel right at home. Plus, their cheese is fantastic—a must-try! There is a cheese waiting for your arrival. Highly recommended for a peaceful, enjoyable retreat.
