About

The site has been created with chilling and re-charging in mind….There are some family games available, books and magazines, hammocks, couple of swings etc  ….  and a generous 6 acre paddock to explore! Ponds, meadows, woodland… all yours to enjoy. Build a den? Do some pond dipping and try to identify species ? (google lens app comes useful here), toast marshmallows,  chill in a hammock, play hide and seek, run, skip….  Generally, we highly encourage “nothing-doing-ness” and exploring local area. With an easy access to footpaths straight from the camp you can explore beautiful Herefordshire on foot and the footpaths seem endless! Our most  favourite one is a circular path to Weston and up the Penyard Park (maps available)… with a cheeky visit to Weston Cross pub on the way back! If you are eager to go a little further there’s plenty to do round here! See Local Attractions page on our website. 

Everyone has a different idea about camping, glamping and being outdoors. Good sense of humour and a drive for adventure are essential! If you are glamping here YOU CAN CERTAINLY TRAVEL LIGHT!  If you are staying in the shepherd’s hut – everything apart from towels is already there for you. If you are staying with us in the bell tents  the main bed is made up with the proper duvet and bed linen, and futons for the children are ready with bottom sheet and pillow in a pillow case but please bring their sleeping bags,  and bring your own towels including tea-towel. Well-charged torches are a must! A power bank might be a good idea too.  We also recommend sturdy footwear, warm jumpers, wellies, waterproof coats/  umbrella (depending on the forecast!), a book, favourite teabags, some food (lots of snacks if you are bringing your tribe with you!)…. maybe a cheeky beer or wine for grown ups.  Charcoal might be handy if you fancy using the  BBQs but access to a gas hob is provided and your  Summer Kitchen should have all cooking kit and essentials there…. No need to bring a colander or a corkscrew!  We have provided most things  you might need. Kitchen utensils like can opener, sharp knives, grater, garlic press,  and lots of crockery, glasses, pans, cutlery  etc are there for you.  Wood for your fire pit for the first night is included, further bags can be purchased (cash only) at the camp.  Don’t worry if you forget anything – we will try our best to lend it to you! No major drama! 🙂 If you are bringing food items perhaps good idea would be to use a cool box (we can re-freeze your blocks for you or … you can freeze a water bottle to act as a cooler 😉 ) If you are planning on using the pizza oven PLEASE bring (or source locally) some kiln dried kindling and smaller pieces of wood for good experience. 

In the summer kitchen you will also find some basic cooking ingredients like oil,  salt and pepper, spices, herbs, sugar, some tea bags and  a bit of coffee to start you off.

Our woodland pitch guests need to bring all camping gear with them, but if you forgot anything we will try to source it for you.

We also provide eco friendly washing up liquid and cloths (byo tea towel please). There is liquid soap in our bathrooms for your convenience too. 

Feel free to BYO firewood for the campfires, or add to your booking as an extra. There is a small woodstore where you can purchase more ( payment by paypal or cash please)

The Village Stores at Lea is our nearest grocery shop (1mile away) . It is superbly stocked with all  everyday essentials and a good selection of  extras…. fresh meat, bacon, local eggs, honey, bread…. and wine!  We love it!  If you are after a bigger shop – Morrison’s, Aldi and small Sainsbury’s are located in Ross ( just over 3.5 miles away)

We are a family friendly site and currently don’t accept hen / stag parties. Maximum number of adults on site is limited for the feel of exclusiveness and privacy and is capped at 12 plus the children. Our bell tents are pretty spacious and can comfortably accommodate 2 Adults + 3 children each.  We could probably squeeze another small person there, but that limits usable space in the tent so we don’t offer it as standard. Please contact us to arrange that. Shepherd hut can sleep 2 adults and is set a little bit further away from the tents to accommodate more peaceful breaks for couples or solo guests. If you wish to bring the children and pop up a small tent by the hut – that is also fine with us! ( they must be OK to sleep in the tent on their own please) 

 Our two woodland pitches are fairly flexible in location and generous in size. Willow View is closer to the Wash Hut and Glampers’ kitchen and is suitable for a large family tent   and our Pondside Pitch has a larger level area so can accommodate two families together ( max 4 Adults and 6 children).
