A unique glamping pod with a hot tub and views of the Uffington White Horse

Cowleaze Farm offers glamping with impressive views between The Cotswolds and the North Wessex Downs. Book a stay here and you’ll have your own glamping hideaway in view of the enigmatic Uffington White Horse. You can ponder its Bronze Age origins as you sit on the deck or sink into the wood-fired hot tub outside your pod. Or perhaps you prefer to pull on your walking boots and hike to see this chalky hillside landmark up close? However you spend your time here, the pod at Cowleaze Farm is a lovely little self-contained getaway that’s well equipped for a weekend in the country.

It sits in a secluded spot within the grounds of your host’s farmhouse garden, overlooking a veg patch and a paddock that you’re welcome to explore. In the summer the paddock is filled with wildflowers and a pathway is mown for you to meander through them. But whenever you come this well-built, bespoke glamping pod or cabin offers a comfortable indoor-outdoor place to stay. The campfire and hot tub are tempting even in cooler weather and it’s always warm indoors thanks to a log-burning stove. There’s a cosy, raised double bed with a window at its foot giving views to the hills and the horse. You have a little kitchenette with a gas hob, a kitchen sink and a fridge – and there’s an en suite shower and flushing loo too. Staying here is about as easy as glamping comes. The bed is made up for you and towels are provided as well.

In fact, Katy and Mark, your hosts, even get the wood-burning hot tub started so you can relax as soon as you arrive. They’ll welcome you before leaving you to enjoy the peace and quiet of the place. And that may be all you want to do while you’re here but there’s plenty to explore if you want to. Swindon’s nearby, Marlborough’s not far and Oxford is a half-hour drive away. North Wessex and The Cotswolds both offer great walking, great country pubs, lovely villages and plenty of historic sites – starting with the one you can see out the window.

Our Veg Patch Pod is a bespoke and unique self-built fully self sufficient glamping unit. Enjoy peace and quiet in the privacy of our paddock, adjacent to our home. Enjoy the views of the Ridgeway and Uffington White Horse whilst laying in bed or from the bubbles of our wood-fired hot tub. Snuggle up in front of the log burner or around the purpose built campfire.

We loved the Veg Patch Pod!!!
We loved our stay at the veg patch pod. It felt very homely and was lovely and cosy with the log burner. Having the hot tub on in the evening overlooking the fields enjoying a beverage made us instantly feel relaxed and this was when the weather wasn’t particularly great so it must be even better as the weather improves. The area was also lovely and we enjoyed doing a nice local walk which Katy recommended to us. Whenever we asked for anything Katy and Mark were on hand and very helpful especially having the hot tub lit and warm for us after our walk, whilst still maintaining our privacy. We wished we had booked for a little longer but we’ll probably visit again in the future for a longer stay. Also the freshly cooked bread in the welcome hamper was amazing. We have already recommended the pod to some of our friends.

Few niggles but lovely place.
The place is lovely but we had a few niggles during our stay that ruined things a little. There was supposed to be birthday balloons etc, however there was nothing which was disappointing. We only arrived 30 min early so I wouldn’t have thought that was the reason. There was a lovely basket of bread, milk, butter etc which was really nice. Katy normally bakes her own bread but her bread maker had broken unfortunately for us but the substitute was lovely too. We enjoyed the hot tub the first night after Mark had lit it for us. Sadly the shower wasn’t hot, which you only find out after getting in as to leave the shower door open to check the temps soaked the bathroom. We had no hot water the second night so couldn’t shower, so couldn’t use the hot tub which was really disappointing as it was such a lovey clear night. The wood for the log burner was impossible to light even with firelighters which were supposed to be topped up each morning but weren’t. The wood was damp as it’s left outside making lighting impossible. I ended up sitting in my car with the heating on until Mark came to check the boiler later on and gave us dry wood to light. If we hadn’t of had the issues with the hot water, damp wood and not being able to use the hot tub & being freezing as a result of these two things we would of gave 5*. Unfortunately giving damp logs is surely common sense that they won’t burn really well and the request for help wasn’t responded to until Mark arrived 2 hours later.

Lovely property in a great area of the Uk. Perfect place to base yourself and explore the area. The property itself is very homely. Very comfy bed, good shower and a little fireplace to add to the whole feel. Don’t make the same mistake I did and not leave enough time to truly enjoy this property. Work into your holiday enough time to spend more time here!

We enjoyed the little house though what we really wanted was to enjoy the hot tub there was not sufficient wood to keep us going for the two days that we paid to have the hot tub and we used it at night time when we got there next day we couldn’t even use it because we’ve got The wood in the afternoon would’ve been nice to have breakfast in the hot tub so for improvement a lot more wood champagne beautiful but no ice cubes champagne wouldn’t fit in the freezer so it was A bit of a disappointment but I am sure you can improve all this mayby a cover on top of the hot tub when it rains and something about that mad even some sticks on top of it so when you walk in the little house it doesn’t dirty everything it’s a shame that we were one of the first ones and our main thing was the hot tub but I am sure in future it will be wonderful

From the host
Our farmhouse sits on 1.5 acres of land and is surrounded by farmland on the southern edge of the Cotswolds. We are a rural location but within easy reach of Oxford, Swindon and Faringdon The glamping pod sits next to the veg patch, overlooking our paddock which is bursting with wildflowers and long grasses in summer months. The pod boast unencumbered views of the Uffington White Horse and it's South facing vistas capture beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We are next to walking, cycling and horse riding routes up to the White Horse and along the ridgeway and both the Cotswolds and Ridgeway are areas of outstanding natural beauty. Of specific interest is Waylands Smithy (within walking distance) The Tythe Barn at Great Coxwell and many other historic sites.
Nearby attractions

The views from your pod at Cowleaze Farm showcase some of the local highlights: beautiful countryside with fascinating ancient sites. Top of the list is the Uffington White Horse, which dates from the Bronze Age. You can find out more about it and other local history at Tom Brown’s School Museum in Uffington, about a mile from the farm. There are plenty of local footpaths and bridleways in the countryside around the farm if you want to explore and The Ridgeway National Trail passes along the top of White Horse Hill. You could use it to head a mile west to see another impressive ancient site, Waylands Smithy neolithic long barrow. It’s all part of the North Wessex Downs National Landscape where you’ll also find the World Heritage-listed Avebury stone circle (25 miles) and the market town of Marlborough (20 miles). It’s a similar distance into the Cotswolds with the pretty villages of Bibury and Burford both just 20 miles from site. The Cotswolds Wildlife Park and Gardens is a similar distance and Oxford is just a little further.

Food and drink

There’s a village shop in Uffington (one mile) for basics and a handy Co-op supermarket in Watchfield, three miles from the farm. For a meal out, there are three pubs within walking distance: The King and Queen in Longcot (two miles), The Fox and Hounds in Uffington and The White Horse in Woolstone (just over a mile). But for a really good meal out, your hosts recommend going a little further to The Greyhound in Letcombe Regis (eight miles).
