Weekend Trip to Bozedown Boltholes

Such a beautiful setting, really is private with stunning views. The check in instructions and how to find the tent were superb and made it so easy. The tent itself is amazing, really cosy and comfortable and amazing furnishings. Beds are very comfy and luxurious bedding and towels. Even the toilet toll was thick and luxurious. Loved every second of our stay.

Weekend Trip to Cattlestone Farm Adult Only

Lovely camp site and very welcoming hosts! We stayed in the Foxglove tent and it was lovely. The communal kitchen has excellent amenities. There was an oven, gas hob, pizza over, bbq, plates, crockery, cutlery and things to wash up! You have your own cupboard, fridge and shower/toilet which was great! Easy to get to and not far from some great hiking spots. We had a great time and would stay again 😊

2 nights at The Hare lodge

This was our second time to Gravel Pit Farm and we would come back over and over again! The perfect glamping experience especially with children and a dog. Just what we needed to switch off for a few days. There is lots to do locally with national trust castles very close. Annabel the host is kind and friendly too.

Mentioned in the Domesday Book, the town has ample history and is surrounded by camper-friendly countryside that's dotted with excellent campsites. If you're on the hunt for a local spot to pitch your tent or park a campervan, you've come to the right place.
