When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
We booked to stay a couple of nights in a Yurt. Fab location with so many places nearby to visit: Oxford, Bourton on the Water, Blenheim Palace, Woodstock, Chipping Campden and so many other places. The tent had a log burning stove and bags of wood were available to buy on site for £4 a bag. All pots and pans for cooking were available in the yurt. If you were glamping you were given a key for your own toilet/shower that the other campers xouldnt use. Thia was a big plus, it was clean and always seemed to be free as only a few could use it. There were compost toilets if needed and another toilet. There was a kitchen and fridge and freezer and kettle and toaster and washing facility for your dishes. A nice little camp site, nice and quiet with nice views and perfect location for nearby sightseeing. Clear instructions given before we arrived and everything was ready for when we got there and it was a lovely peaceful and straight forward stay. I would definitely recommend

What a beautiful little slice of peace and tranquility..
The site is a lovely place to stay. Quiet and friendly which is great!
Showers are good and kept clean. I liked the wooded feel while using the shower room and washing up facilities (Trees all around which is lovely)
Owners are friendly and happy to help with local information on pubs etc and come across as peaceful as the site itself- Thanks for a nice few days :)
I have come back feeling chilled which is just what i needed :)

Me and my boyfriend stayed here as it was a 30 minute walk from the cotswold distillery tour we were gifted, and we wanted to bulk out the trip and have a long weekend away. We stayed in their glamping yurt (yurt yami). It was amazing and worth the money. We had our own deck and private bathroom with hot shower right next to the yurt.
It was lovely and cosy inside, with everything you need for a glamping trip including a proper double bed, fridge/with small freezer drawer, hobs, and all the utensils. And we could also pay £4 for the wifi password for the whole time we were staying there. Which really made it a luxury experience.
Our only negatives were that there wasnt much indication where you could park if you werent camping in a tent in the upper part of the site. And also that the communal kitchen and toilets/showers were right next to the yurt. Which i was hoping would be a bit more secluded. But didnt bother us too much as it still felt relatively private.
As a note: There is a church nearby that has a bell that rings every 15 minutes, but you get used to it.
The site is mostly unmanned, adult only (no children under 12), and aims to be a quiet site. Was lovely to sit out and enjoy the rustic scenery in peace and quiet - we honestly didnt want to leave!
Its also about a 15 minute drive to several cotswold villages which were nice to explore and find places to dine out in the day.

This was the perfect place for the countryside escape we wanted before the busyness of the festive season. We hired the Little Dutch Cabin, which is a converted Wendy house. It didn’t disappoint either. The Friday night we arrived, we were greeted by Swampy, a very friendly, helpful chap who lives on site. He couldn’t do enough for us. He showed us to the lodge and gave us some tips for food nearby and also walks. We were very cosy in the lodge, with a wood burning stove and heater should we need. We had everything we needed, including our own shower/toilet cabin for our sole use - the shower was powerful and so warm.
The location of the lodge, and rest of the campsite is in a designated dark zone so, plenty of opportunity to star gaze. It’s also a designated quiet site so, all we heard was the wind in the trees and birdsong, oh and the village church clock chiming.
We visited to local pub for dinner, the Norman Knight the food was delicious and the staff are very friendly and it’s only a 7 minute walk away. The following morning we had breakfast in the Straw Kitchen and that was delicious too with a great atmosphere - still walking distance.
Swampy told us of a walk through ancient woods and down to Long Compton which was a good 6 miles and full of wonderful scenery.
We had a wonderful weekend - we’re glad we took our wellies since it’s very muddy on site but that didn’t deter us. It was a perfect escape for a refresh and reset.

Excellent location, very quiet with enough privacy to ensure you can have a relaxing time. The hosts have been very helpful and ensured you’ll have everything you need prior of arrival. Both the yurt and bathroom were very clean and Jack ensured there’s on-going heating regardless using or not the stove. Highly recommended - without to mention the rates are more than accessible for anyone!

This was our first time camping , we wanted somewhere near the Cotswold Gin Distillery ( visit it .. it’s worth it and lunch was lovely ) We were greeted by Swampy .. really helpful and friendly site manager .. showed us around and gave us some local places to try . The site is quiet ( other than church bells - bring ear plugs ) no children and everyone very respectful . Hot showers and flushing loo with couple compost loos ( this was my biggest challenge lol but by day 3 of 4 it was normal ) We loved the simplicity of the site and as a dark sky area there were millions of stars visible ! Norman knight pub was good and although it doesn’t serve food on a Monday a local pizza van does amazing sourdough pizzas 🍕 we walked up through the wood to the Rollright stones - 5 miles .. Red Lion pub on way was fabulous too. We are camping converts from this wonderful visit - thank you 😊

We visited this site as three ladies of a certain age, camping in a van and two tents. The manager and is partner are really friendly, super chilled and helpful. The site is so natural, with grass left to grow between the pitches (which are mown), which is both beautiful and gives some privacy. Lots of birdsong and animals that potters around, cats and ducks mainly. The compost loos are clean and well managed, one of our group wanted to use the flush loo and said it was always clean, the loo roll ran out one morning, but was quickly replenished when she mentioned it. There is a gorgeous cafe which opens in the mornings Fri, Sat and Sun, they provide tea, breakfasty things and paninis, the team there are also really helpful. The local pub, Norman Knight, was just a few minutes walk and the food was lovely. We also had a lovely walk through beautiful woods to Long Compton and had a drink at the pub there. The site did seem strangely, but delightfully quiet at night, we found the church bells a bit noisy at first, but very soon got used to them. All in all we had a really fantastic weekend at this really special site.

Quirky little campsite with its own moat, stone circle, lovely hot showers and compost loos. Really friendly owner, Swampy, and a really relaxed vibe. Our son loved whiling away his time in the orchard hammocks. The Norman Knight pub is just up the road - they always said the restaurant was full when they didn’t seem to be so worth booking in advance. Straw Kitchen cafe also round the corner, which looked nice but we didn’t eat there. Pottery shop is also worth a look.

Lovely little spot! Very quiet, and with all the amenities one could need (shower, compost toilet, kitchen area with kettle). Bags of logs can be bought for a fiver, and there are fire pits available for free. We stayed for one night and had a beautiful time drinking wine, stoking the fire and looking at the stars.
