  • Furnished bell tents in a paddock on a Wiltshire smallholding
  • Five minutes' drive from Devizes and 15 minutes from Calne
  • Meet the farm's sheep, pigs, ponies and birds
Experience the real Wiltshire countryside from your pitch at Sunnyside Glamping, a rural smallholding based between the villages of Lydeway and Stert on the main road to Devizes. Set in approximately four acres of gardens and paddock, the site has a small collection of fully-furnished bell tents, as well as a communal canopy with a water tap and honesty shop. You're welcome to relax in the comfort and privacy of your own tent and while away the hours reading, toasting marshmallows around the firepit and snoozing. Or, if you'd prefer to get in on the action, there are animal experiences available where you can get stuck in with feeding the sheep, grooming the ponies and petting the birds – just don't forget to pack your wellies. Once you've got to grips with the place, wander down to the wooded area to find the fairy garden and relax on the nest swing, or dive into the trunk of outdoor toys to get your game on. The chickens lay fresh eggs every morning that guests are welcome to collect for breakfast, whilst the Indian runner ducks Loki, Shuri and Buchanan keep everyone entertained with their mischief when roaming the grounds on snail duty. The tents are very comfortable and well set up, but the shared facilities are on the simple side – a composting toilet and a hot gas-powered open air shower cubicle. Please note that there is a relatively quiet train line used by slow trains adjacent the paddock, which cannot be seen because of dense hedging. Services are infrequent and do not run through the night, so you can look forward to an undisturbed night's rest.

Bell tent

Liked: Such a hidden gem! Welcomed by hosts, beautiful set up. Not one thing has been missed! There was literally everything available. The hosts have thought about all the tiny details. Entertainment for the children, bottle openers! You name it. The animals are such a lovely thing to be around. As we only had a short stay we didn’t get chance to see them all thoroughly as we were visiting local attractions (longleat zoo) but would definitely recommend taking part in. Would recommend anyone wanting a little off grid stay. If we ever return to this area we will definitely stay again. My daughters face on the pics says it all. Thank you so much

From the manager: Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review Jemma, it was a pleasure to have you and your family at the farm and I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay. Enjoy the rest of the summer and we hope to see you back at Sunnyside sometime in the future! Best wishes, Jen & Nick

Great place which we thoroughly enjoyed staying at for two nights.

Bell tent

Liked: We have just come back from our stay at sunnysidefarmuk and like last year, the children have the blues. We really love this place, our tent was again cozy and full of lovely touches, this year the weather blessed us with loads of sun and no clouds in the night so we slept under an amazing roof of stars. I love the simplicity of the place, I love that you’re forced to put down your mobile and the technology and find a way to entertain yourself the old fashioned way. We played games, climbed trees, pet the animals. The kids went around finding bugs, identifying trees, collecting sticks for the fire. I sat down doing nothing for probably the first time this year, just thinking, reading a book, chatting to my partner. We visited Bath one day, the rest of the time it was just spent playing, having fun and making memories. Everybody should visit this place for at least 3 days per year, to remember what living a simple life means. We will definitely be back, after all this is my children’s favourite place!

Disliked: Nothing!!!!

From the manager: Wow what lovely comments, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review Marta, it was a pleasure to welcome you back to our little farm. We're so pleased you all enjoyed your stay and the weather stayed fine for you. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon! Have a wonderful summer. Best wishes, Jen & Nick (& all the animals at Sunnyside!)
