Secluded Gloucestershire glamping site within easy reach of Bristol, Bath and the Cotswolds

At the end of a narrow, three-quarter-mile long country lane, over the speed bumps, past the alpaca farm and across the tiny stream, Wixoldbury Farm feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere. And in a sense, it is. Looking across the meadows it’s all cows, clouds and countryside as far as the eye can see but it also belies a convenient reality. Quiet but not quite remote, inconspicuous but not inaccessible, Wixoldbury is also within striking distance of Wales, Bristol and the Cotswolds, all of which are within a 25-minute drive.

Home to two charming roundhouses and ‘Popeye’ the traditional shepherd’s hut, Wixoldbury is a working Gloucestershire farm five miles from the M5. In a fenced off paddock a short walk from where you park your car (trollies are provided for luggage), the glamping area occupies a particularly picturesque spot on the farm, with nosey sheep nuzzling along the fence line and a deck outside each accommodation unit where you can sit and enjoy the view.

Each abode has a compact kitchen, an en-suite shower room and can comfortably sleep two people, though sofa beds are provided for children in the roundhouses. While the shepherd’s hut enjoys the ambience of a wood-burning stove – warm, glowing and hard to beat – the roundhouses benefit from tall, sloping ceilings that lend them a wonderful sense of space. And, whichever you choose, all guests can use the communal barbecue den and dining area, as well as gathering around the campfire late at night.

Host Jane knows the area like the back of her hand. Not just the 40 acres of farmland you have to explore but also the wider countryside. She can explain the beautiful 20-minute walk to the Rose & Crown pub – down the lane to the alpaca farm, then a half-mile footpath on an old track lined by bushy hedgerows – or give directions to Iron Acton, where you can walk the riverside trail along the banks of the Frome. For those with youngsters, meanwhile, Cattle Country Park and Berkeley Castle are both within a half-hour drive, but with Bath and Bristol so close by you’re never short of options. Two cabins are coming for 2021... stay tuned

Loved camping on Jane and Simon's land. Exceptional pods, has all the amenities one might need. Ample space and room to cook anything you'd like over a lovely fire pit. The folks there are lovely and helpful throughout the entire stay. Cannot recommend them enough. Thank you both for the lovely birthday weekend!

Beautiful Secret Escape
we had an incredible time at Wixoldbury Farm! It was exactly the weekend we needed and wanted, relaxing, peaceful and rejuvenating. Would definitely recommend! especially the wood burning hot tub! The hosts were very helpful and were there to assist us in getting extra wood for the fire and in helping us with the hot tub!

An absolute pleasure of a trip! Hosts went above and beyond for us to make sure we had the best experience possible. Accommodation itself was even better than expected and really clean. Great blend of peace and quiet at the glamping site but the local village only a short drive away. Would recommend to anyone considering this accommodation and would definetly visit again.

Wixoldbury Farm is a working farm set on 40 acres in a quiet secluded location. Situated between Bristol and Bath, there is plenty to see and do either with days our, enjoying a local walk or just relaxing on the farm with a book. Our luxury accommodation is all ensuite with it's own kitchen facilities and also a communal dining/cooking area for larger groups. Our accommodation comprises of two wooden roundhouses (which can sleep two adults and two small children) plus one shepherd hut (which can sleep two people). New for 2021 are two glamping cabins which will sleep two adults and three children. All accommodation has it's own kettle, toaster, microwave, slow cooker and fridge together with outdoor dining area and BBQ. The communal dining area has a four ring LPG gas hob. All accommodation has a fully equipped kitchen with all the home comforts you will need. Bed linen for the main/adult bed is included but please note we do not provide children's bedding or towels for children. Unfortunately we do not keep children's bedding and will be unable to provide the same so please ensure you remember to bring pillows and sleeping bags! All accommodation has electricity. Both wooden roundhouses have electric fires and an oil fired radiator. The shepherd hut has a log burner and an oil fired radiator. The two new glamping cabins will have a log burner and radiators. Wood can be purchased for the wood burner and fire pit. PLEASE NOTE FOR GROUP BOOKINGS REQUIRING MORE THAN THREE GLAMPING PODS, WE REQUIRE THE WHOLE SITE (FIVE PODS) TO BE BOOKED TO ENSURE ALL OF OUR GUESTS HAVE THE BEST POSSIBLE GLAMPING EXPERIENCE.
Nearby attractions

Within striking distance of the Cotswolds (north-west of the farm) Wixoldbury Farm Glamping is well placed for country rambles, farm shop exploring and visits to country estates. Acton Court (01454 228224), a Tudor house built for the pleasure of Henry VIII, is the closest, just a 10-minute drive away, but there’s a clutch of National Trust-owned estates within a half hour, including Horton Court (01454 329600), Dyrham Park (01179 372501) and Newark Park (01453 842644). There’s no doubt, however, that for many, it’s not just the proximity to the countryside that makes Wixoldbury Farm Glamping stand out. It takes less than half an hour to drive right into the centre of Bristol outside of rush hour and less still if you fancy parking further out to explore popular spots like Gloucester Road (Bristol also operates a park and ride scheme). It’s a 40-minute drive, too, to Bath.

Food and drink

It's a 20-minute walk to the local pub, The Rose & Crown (01454 228233), while The Swan (01454 413288) in Tytherington is particularly recommended by Jane. For the full flair and fayre of the city, it's a half-hour drive into Bristol where there are, unsurprisingly, endless options. For farm shops and country pubs, though, head north-east into the Cotswolds. The nearest supermarkets are in Chipping Sodbury, Yate and Thornbury.
