We have our own delicious 100% pasture fed lamb and beef to buy for hearty evening meals and a pizza oven for your to make the best tasting stonebaked pizzas with bases provided. When you visit you can say hello to our stunning native breed cattle and sheep and explore our wonderful, species diverse pasture. If you are after the kind of holiday where you can have fun outdoors, nourish yourself with delicious food and discover your connection to nature - Great Cotmarsh Farm is the perfect place to come and stay.
Whether you're an outdoor adventurer, foodie fanatic or love touring historic homes and gardens, Wiltshire and the surrounding area has tons on offer and we will provide you with a welcome pack full of useful information. If you want to keep your stay super local, there are footpaths leading off the farm into local meadows and up onto the Marlborough Downs, including access up onto the White Horse Trail.

Escape to the peace and tranquillity of the Northamptonshire countryside in one of our luxury adults-only canalside lodges. Whether you're looking to relax, explore or simply switch off, everything you need is right here.
Each handcrafted lodge features a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, grill, induction hob, fridge/freezer, bean-to-cup coffee machine, cookware & utensils. You'll also enjoy a king-size Emma mattress, wood-burning stove, private bathroom, towels, dressing gowns, slippers and plenty of thoughtful touches to make your stay extra special.
Outside, unwind in your own private wood-fired hot tub, enjoy evenings around the fire pit, cook on the BBQ, or simply relax on the decking or hammock overlooking the canal. All fuel for the hot tub, fire pit and wood burner is provided.
Step onto peaceful canalside walks where nature is never far away. Keep an eye out for red kites, buzzards and kingfishers, and if you're lucky, you may even spot an otter swimming along the canal. Each lodge also has its own private fishing peg on a quiet turning point in the canal, meaning you'll rarely be disturbed by passing boats.
A selection of welcoming country pubs and restaurants are just a short drive away, while the attractive market towns of Rugby & Market Harborough can both be reached in around 20 minutes.

Claire’s land is very beautiful and peaceful. Our tent was in a little clearing in the wood which gave us privacy and an outlook of mature trees. The Bedouin tent was spacious, well equipped and very comfortable. Claire was very helpful and approachable. We immediately felt welcome and well looked after.
This site is in a beautiful part of Berkshire with lots of activities for everyone. I wholeheartedly recommend this site.

Absolutely stunning site, very nice views and private pitches, hammocks were excellent and facilities were clean and well hidden away, only downside was it very noisy with a nearby church going off all night but they do provide free ear plugs which helps

Fantastic. We had the best weekend here. Claire provides everything you could need and more which makes the entire experience so much easier, especially with kids. Bathrooms and tents were really clean, all facilities in great shape. Grounds are beautiful with plenty of big old trees and space to explore. Claire was super kind and helpful and even let our kids hold her ducklings which was a real highlight for them. Would absolutely recommend and hope to return!

Lovely quiet campsite, small secluded pitches and great amenities.
One negative not related to the site would be the local church. Church bells ringing all through the night was not ideal.

Where to go
Northern Cotswolds
The Cotswolds AONB ranks among England’s most delightful landscapes, sprinkled with golden, thatch-roof villages. The AONB’s northern flank takes in Wychwood and around, where architectural delights include the villages of Chipping Norton, Burford, Stow-on-the-Wold, Broadway, and Chipping Campden. Out in the wild, you can walk the long-distance Cotswold Way, try biking and horse riding, and dip into lakes and rivers to cool off.
Oxford, Woodstock & Around
Oxford is one of England’s most dazzling cities, packed with university colleges, perfectly clipped lawns, and major literary heritage. Go punting along the Thames, roam the museums and libraries, tap into the lively pub scene, and explore leafy Port Meadow—all under an hour’s drive from Wychwood. Just north of Oxford, Woodstock centres on the UNESCO-listed Blenheim Palace, one of the country’s most fantastical stately homes and the birthplace of Winston Churchill. And whether you fancy camping or caravanning by a river or kicking back in a glamping bell tent on a low-impact farm, there’s buckets of choice here.
Southern Cotswolds
Also within easy reach of the Wychwood area, the Cotswolds’ less-touristy southern half meanders around Roman Cirencester, picture-pretty Bibury, and peaceful Painswick, then on toward Bath. Dog-friendly campsites on family farms, secluded log cabins, and lakeside caravan parks are just a few of the picks for campers here, providing bases from which to hike along the Cotswold Way and go cycling, horse riding, paddle-boarding, kayaking, and more.
