2 nights at Cuddfan - The Hiding Place
Thanks Mark for the lovely stay! The area is secluded and picturesque, which really gave us the feeling of living a nomadic life with just the basic amenities.
A few tips for future visitors:
Bring a hanging light or headlamp, as it gets very dark and there’s no lighting provided.
There’s a gas stove and cooking area, but you’ll need to bring your own utensils.
Pack warm duvets and thick jackets if you’re visiting in autumn, as nights can get very cold.
🚗 Important: Do not drive your car down to the tent. Park just after entering the gate and walk down instead. I missed the host’s message about this, got stuck trying to drive back up, and had to be rescued by a farmer with his tractor (thankfully the host responded quickly and was super helpful!).
Despite that little adventure, I absolutely loved the stay and would highly recommend it if you’re looking for a unique experience without the hassle of putting up a tent yourself.

2 nights at Oakhill Ponds
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

Weekend Trip to Cuddfan - The Hiding Place
Quiet and beautiful camp spot, perfect for hiking in the black mountains.
One WARNING, there is a gas stove but no cooking equipment provided contrary to listing so plan ahead if you want to cook. Still great value and would recommend

Weekend Trip to Cae Nant Glamping
Fantastic stay with lovely personalised attention and details. Great quiet tucked away spot and perfect for getting out and about... we had outside hot tub baths on both nights, made pizza on the terrace one evening, and enjoyed movie nights in front of the wood burner (with our nephew with special needs). We were out for pony trekking on the Sunday morning (30 mins away) and then Sunday lunch overlooking Lake Vyrnwy (10 mins away). Lovely cooked breakfast supplies and generally fabulous hosting. Highly recommended.

Campsites by waterfalls near Bourton-on-the-Water guide
Where to go
Cotswolds AONB
These low-lying undulating hills surround Bourton-on-the-Water. They secrete many more similarly gorgeous historic villages, all characterised by honey-coloured stone villages epitomising the English rural idyll with their preserved churches, centuries-old pubs, and duck ponds. Other bases with good campsites from which to explore the area include Moreton-in-Marsh, 10 miles north, and Chipping Campden, 14 miles north, while charming Castle Combe is the prettiest base in the southern Cotswolds.
River Thames
South of the Cotswolds AONB is the River Thames, the UK’s best-known and second-longest river with its very own 185-mile, long-distance trail running from source to mouth. The river begins near Kemble, then flows through the huge lake system of the Cotswolds Water Park, 21 miles south of Bourton-on-the-Water. The park is known for water sports, and there are several waterside campsites.
Oxfordshire
Flanking the Cotswolds AONB to the east is rolling rural Oxfordshire, which is also easily explored from Bourton-on-the-Water. The landscape includes architectural wonders like Blenheim Palace, one of the nation’s grandest residences, and the moated manor house of Broughton Castle, while the sights of Oxford are close by too. The Oxfordshire Way, beginning at Bourton-on-the-Water and finishing at Henley-on-Thames, winds all the way through the county. The area around Adderbury, south of Banbury, has some inviting campsites too.
When to go
September is a great month to visit the Cotswolds, when accommodation prices and crowds have dwindled but when the weather is still often sunny and warm. Autumn colours are also especially dazzling in September and October. Being near Cheltenham, Bourton-on-the-Water-bound campers can also take advantage of Cheltenham’s Jazz Festival (late April) and music festival (July).
