About the site


Enjoy an adult only escape at this relaxing camping and glamping site. Within an hour of London, it is ideal for a city escape, with Bletchley Park just a 15 minute drive away for days out. The site offers a glamping pod with stunning views over a wildlife pond. The cosy interior features a lounge area with a leather sofa, a warming log burner, and a Bluetooth speaker. A small library of books means you can enjoy a relaxing read too. There is a compact equipped kitchen with a two-ring gas hob, fridge, and essentials like tea, coffee, sugar, and milk. A spiral staircase leads up to the mezzanine level, where there is a comfortable double bed with blackout curtains and bedding. Step outside onto the private deck and enjoy the views. With a table, chairs, a BBQ, and complimentary firewood and charcoal, it's an ideal spot for outdoor dining or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars. Shared toilet and shower facilities are a short walk away, and parking is located 100m from the pod. Do note, the site is also home to camping pitches and other glamping units including shepherd's huts and a converted military trailer. To maintain peace and quiet, the site is dog free.
