ABOUT
Gather your family around the fire pit and immerse yourselves into the glorious Herefordshire countryside. Wake up to these incredible views of the Black Mountains from the comfort of your bell tent. Pop on the kettle and plan the day's activities, whilst listening to the birds and sheep.
Our small quiet rural glamping site consists of three tents, each with comfy mattresses, their own fire pit and allocated toilets and showers.
The 2025 season starts just in time for the May Bank Holiday and half term, on the 22nd May and runs until the 14th September. Keep scrolling for more info about our facilities and things to do or book your stay here

OUR COMMUNAL AREA
In 2024 we added a communal marquee, which was perfect for when the weather isn't playing ball and guests needed to escape the rain.
Improved cooking facilities including electric hobs and a microwave oven have been added.
The local information board and entertainment table (including the kids packs and games) are found here too.
OUR TENTS
We have three tents, named after local breeds of sheep, which you may be able to spot on local walks.
Ready for the 2024 season, we've upgraded Beulah to a 5m family tent. just like Ryeland.
All tents have fabulous views of the Black Mountains.
