  • Off-grid family-friendly farm site in a scenic Cotswolds valley
  • A 10-minute drive to Arlington Row; 20 minutes to Cotswold Water Park
  • Firepits provided; pubs with food and a garden 10 minutes’ walk away
When you arrive in the Cotswolds, it’s easy to get swept away in the honey-coloured villages, countryside landscapes and wandering wildlife. So set your anchor at The T Barn, a scenic farm valley site 10 minutes’ drive from Bibury and Cirencester nicely set up for a cosy retreat in England’s largest Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. From here, you’ll be well-based to get out to cycle-easy lanes, nature reserve trails or stretches of farmland – or take to the water with paddleboarding, windsurfing and the like at the Cotswold Water Park 20 minutes’ drive away. The site is 10 minutes’ walk from the handsome village of Barnsley – it's a small place but its village pub and hotel both bring a buzz with some splendid food and distinguished garden design in the hotel. On site, there are hot showers, luxury compost loos and a hut for washing up dishes, so the essentials are all covered. A few solar lights show the way around at night, as this place is off-grid for guests to take some time off the tech. Given that this site is quite remote, those of you who don’t want to bring a car might have lots of walking in store – but while cars are useful they’re not essential to your stay, as buses stop in the village four times per day. The local train stations are Kemble (15 minutes’ drive) or Swindon (35 minutes’ drive) and bicycles also have easy access to the site.

What customers say

This is a peaceful, beautifully maintained campsite with excellent, clean facilities including hot showers and well-kept compost toilets. Pitches are spacious and clearly marked, with fire pits available. The location is ideal for cycling and walking, offering stunning natural beauty and opportunities to observe wildlife, including local cows. While the off-grid experience with no phone signal is a highlight for many, some found the single-track access road and compost toilets challenging. Occasional noise from other groups was noted as a minor issue.

Liked Everything really. Lovely and peaceful, the facilities are fine for a grass campsite, compost toilets are really good and the showers very powerful. Loved the views from the top of the hill. Really handy for the village pub for food (take a big wallet) All just lovely.

Hannah J.

Non-electric grass campervan, tent or trailer tent pitch

Liked Peaceful, great facilities too.
The owner popped by each day in the evening to say hi and make sure everything was ok, cleaned the facilities and made sure everything was topped up.

Facilities very clean - compost toilets not for everyone but do not smell as much as you would expect. Nice to have hot water in a field too!! Very good set up - felt safe being there on my own with my dog.

Cows very friendly and came and sat the other side of the fence with us both evenings while I was sat by the fire.

Disliked No signal but that’s out of the owners control.

My only frustration was the wasps, but again can’t really be controlled by the owner but they seemed to like my van, I didn’t want my dog to eat one so did get a bit panicked by that.

Liked Quiet and picturesque location. Showers are clean and warm. Well connected to lots of nice places to visit and things to do.

Disliked Compost toilets might not be for everyone! Toilet and shower locks are hit and miss.

We were a bit unlucky and there was a really large, loud and inconsiderate group using the glamping area whilst we were staying. They kept us up until 2AM with noise. We believed that big groups weren’t allowed to book.

Local attractions

Horse riding your thing? The Talland School of Equitation (five minutes’ drive or 20 minutes’ walk) will introduce you to the local bridle paths. Whether it’s a lesson or a private ride you decide to trot off on, it's best to book in advance. But for a different mode of transport, the farm shop at Abbey Home Farm (five minutes’ drive) rents out bicycles or ebikes for a ride with a little extra oomph. You’ll have no hard time finding a suitable landscape for your camera in Bibury (10 minutes), as this is a particularly photogenic village with a scenic aquaculture farm too. The National Trust’s Lodge Park & Sherborne Park Estate (20 minutes) is another scenic spot, with England’s only surviving 17th-century grandstand as a unique feature. As for your wander down the National Trust's Arlington Row (10 minutes), you might feel like you’re right back in the old times among the row of weavers’ cottages from the 17th century, fashioned from what was once a 14th-century monastic wool store. And how to finish off? Perhaps with some watersports like paddleboarding, windsurfing or boating at the Cotswold Water Park (20 minutes)? Or the wildlife at Birdland Park & Gardens (25 minutes)?
