Ryeford Ponds Glamping

Liked Lovely shady and secluded camping in valley surrounded by trees and nature. Plenty of space surrounding each pitch. Good facilities for cooking in the shared kitchen area. My daughter loved the selection of games and various rope swings and hammocks around the site.

Liked Everything! The most perfect place to relax unwind and reset. The setting is stunning and the host so welcoming and friendly. So much love has been put into this beautiful little place. We loved watching the bats whilst sitting at the campfire and listening to the tawny owls. Thank you so much for sharing this space. We would love to come back

Disliked There is absolutely nothing to dislike!

Liked More space and privacy than most other campsites. I do a bit of wild camping and this is the best alternative with the bonus of brilliant facilities. Well suited to young families as plenty of things for them to play with and enjoy nature

Liked Everything! It’s a beautiful place with really generous pitches and a warm welcome too. My son loved the hammocks, swings, table tennis, book nook, so many games to borrow. The site is also really convenient for the Forest of Dean and Symonds Yat so a great base if you have biking or watersports in mind.

From the manager: Thank you so much for your kind words and taking time to leave a review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Ryeford Ponds and you had great time in the forest of dean and wye valley, that's great to hear! it is also lovely to know that you would visit again and recommend us to your friends. These are definitely best compliments. THANKS. We do work hard to make sure everything is in order and more than expected at the campsite, so thanks for noticing all the little touches and attention to details - our favourite spots are definitely the hammocks and board games. plus of course - watching the wildlife and nature straight from your tent, in the privacy of your own pitch set away from anyone else... whether our guests are camping or glamping with us! Comfort, warm, personal welcome, privacy and small impact on environment are key points for us.
hopefully see you again!

Liked Its location and quietness

From the manager: aaah Thanks for your kind words Jon! Muchly appreciated. So glad to hear you would recommend Ryeford Ponds to your friends ( fantastic news! ) And we do hope to see you again sometime for another outdoor adventure in this neck of the woods... good to know you'd stay again! We do try to make sure everyone has a comfortable break and enjoys their time with us... so important! as these holidays don't come our way often enough and are precious times with family. Hope you had great fun exploring Herefordshire, Forest of Dean and Wye valley.
THANKS AGAIN for leaving your kind review. See you soon!

Liked A fantastic stay at Ryeford Ponds. Aldona was an amazing host, and the accommodation was 1st class.
It was so lovely to see the grandchildren getting dirty on the rope swings and running around free and safe. Will definitely be back. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

From the manager: Ahhh Thanks for taking time to leave your review, so so SO good to hear you've had a great stay and enjoyed your time at ryeford ponds. Means a lot and is truly BEST COMPLIMENT, especially when guests mention you'd love to be back! THANK YOU.
And children running around care and "schedule" free ... well - it is just what the place is about. Back to nature stays with comforts and a good base to explore the wonderful Herefordshire and forest of dean and enjoy the outdoors! Perfect to hear you had a great break. THANK YOU FOR LETTING US KNOW.

Liked I had the most wonderful weekend glamping at Ryeford Ponds. I stayed in one of the bell tents and was immediately blown away by the beautiful location and the secluded nature of the site. There is so much outdoors space, the tents are so well prepared, clean and comfortable and the facilities were amazing. Aldona was such a lovely host who ensured I was comfortable and had everything I required, and the camping kitchen would have provided the rest had I forgotten it. This was a truly magical site and Aldona & Ed really have thought of everything. I have recommended it to so many people already and I can't wait to return.

Disliked Nothing!

From the manager: Hi!!! so lovely to read your feedback - MASSIVE THANKS for taking time to let us know you've had a good stay at Ryeford Ponds. Means so much to us! Thank you for noticing the little things we put so much effort into... like the kitchen or "unspoiltness" of the valley. It is just how WE like it and i love hearing others enjoying their time here too. It is all about the fabulous great outdoors - but with added comfort of good bed, spacious tent, decent bathroom, great cooking facilities for proper alfresco dining and enjoying the nature around us.... stargazing, campfires, morning birdsong... great to hear people appreciate it! And the biggest compliment to us is to hear guests would love to come back.
Thanks very much for all your kind words!

Aldona
