Looking for a slice of rural Gloucestershire served up with the personal touch? Make a beeline for Ashley’s Meadow, five minutes’ drive from Drybrook in the Forest of Dean. This teeny-tiny site has just a few bell tents ready and waiting for you, with easy access around the site for mobility-impaired guests, and the owners on hand 24/7 for any issues. Accommodation is in spacious carpeted bell tents with a comfy sofa, a double and two single beds (linens provided, but bring pillows from home). Each also has access to electricity and a cold-water tap, plus outdoor seating and picnic tables for summertime suppers. Shared on-site facilities include a firepit and covered eating area with a hot plate and barbecue. The (brand-new in 2026) washroom has a wheelchair-accessible wetroom and separate loos, and in the same block, you have use of a kitchenette with all the basics (fridge freezer, kettle, toaster and cutlery) provided. The energetic among you can bounce around on the trampoline, and there are swings and slides in an enclosed field providing a safe space for kids to play. You also have access to 14 acres of private woodland – particularly pretty when bluebells flower in spring. If the great British weather should disgrace itself, you can all retreat to the games room for darts and pool, or chill on the giant bean bags and get stuck into board games.
