  • Family-friendly glamping accommodation designed by a family
  • A 20-minute drive from Worcester; within walking distance of pubs
  • Heating, kitchen equipment, Freeview and outdoor seating
It's the accommodation that makes Ockeridge Rural Retreats so special, says the site's family team – a point of view you'll surely agree with as soon as you arrive. For the units here have been manufactured to the family's own design, to provide luxury accommodation at hotel standards: think central heating, customised kitchens, wifi, Freeview TVs, bed linen provided and smart bathrooms kitted out with towels... Your luxury base is in Worcestershire, on a nine-acre site 20 minutes' drive from Worcester and down a peaceful lane with views over fields towards Little Witley. The Malvern Hills and the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty are within easy reach of here; for city day trips, Worcester, Cheltenham, Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham are all 50 minutes to an hour away. Country pubs serving food are within walking distance, but the glamping at Ockeridge has been fully set up for guests to cater for themselves on site. As well as kitchen areas, crockery and essential kit like kettles and toasters, each unit has indoor and outdoor seating for eats inside or alfresco.

What customers say

Visitors praise the lovely, well-equipped huts with amazing views and superb, clean facilities, including a well-stocked tuck shop. The communication from owners is excellent. While most found the stay relaxing and peaceful, some noted limited local activities and felt it was overpriced. One guest found the bed uncomfortable and missed standard TV channels.

Ashwood shepherd's hut (adults only)

Liked The huts are truly lovely. The views are amazing. Everything has been perfectly thought out. The huts have everything you need for that countryside getaway from the daily grind of life. The facilities inside are superb. Special mention to the tuck shop which is stocked well and very reasonably priced 😁😁. The cleanliness of the hut was great. The communication from the site owners brilliant- with the added touch of providing a text with exact location directions!

Ashwood shepherd's hut (adults only)

Liked Had an amazing stay at the Ashwood, I booked this for my boyfriend's birthday and was so impressed with the cabin. It was so cosy and exactly as pictured. We used the log burner and it kept us so toasty and was a lovely feature. The outdoor bar and lighting was also amazing. We went to The Holt Fleet and booked a VIP Pod and prossecco which was amazing. Thanks for the amazing stay.

Local attractions

Worcester, the Malvern Hills, stately homes, nature trails, walking, cycling... all are close by, along with famed attractions and days out like the West Midland Safari Park and the Severn Valley Railway each within 20 to 30 minutes. A short stroll will take you to a pony riding centre for kids' parties as well as events including all-day sessions, toddler sessions and woodland walks. Worcester is about nine miles from the site, reachable in about half an hour by bus from the stop just over a mile away. It's well worth a wander for its famed cathedral, art gallery and half-timbered houses: take a guided tour from the 18th-century Worcester Guildhall to find out more. Other options are Malvern and the Morgan Motor Car Company (30 minutes), spectacular Tewkesbury Abbey (35 minutes), and for kids, Top Barn Farm less than 10 minutes' drive from Ockeridge.
