  • Gloucestershire farm site with a farmstand selling seasonal produce
  • Near the Cotswold Way and other walks; 50 minutes' drive to Bristol
  • Chickens, duck, pigs and sheep on site; walk to the village pub
Surrounded by sloping countryside and quiet farmland, Farwood Farm is one of those rural spots where the views are simply splendid from dawn through to dark. Out in the gorgeous Gloucestershire countryside about five minutes’ drive from Nailsworth, this site is part of a working smallholding where owners Kim and Mark are raising sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks as well as growing fruit and vegetables for self-sufficiency. They also have a farmstand on site where guests can get their hands on eggs, fresh meat (both lamb and pork products) and seasonal produce. Many of the animals roam free at this site, so don’t be surprised if you come across the odd sheep or two nibbling their way around the pitch area. After all, you’ll be staying on pitches mown into the long grass, with the rest left more natural to provide space for wildlife (and hungry sheep). The emphasis at this site is on enjoying the rural peace, views and fresh air, so facilities have been kept on the simple side. That said, you’ll have access to all the essentials: portable toilets, showers, a washing-up area and a wifi connection are all on hand. There’s also a barbecue, a picnic table and a communal fridge-freezer – and you’re welcome to bring your own barbecue as well. For meals out, there’s a pub 15 minutes’ walk away in Horsley and more options in Nailsworth. Heading out, you may like to take a walk on the nearby Cotswold Way, go horse riding or mountain biking, or mix up your countryside time with trips to Cheltenham, Bristol and Bath.

Stunning views & super friendly hosts Kim & Mark. Spacious, private pitches, lovely farm animals. Great, clean facilities with freebies! Peaceful spot, great fresh produce. A few noted animal droppings & a bit of a trek to the loo/shower.

Bell tent

Liked A fantastic little stay at a really friendly campsite. Kim (the host) was really welcoming. The kids had so much fun, especially waking up to find sheep outside the tent.

Good view. A bit too much chicken and sheep poo to feel hygienic.

Liked Good view and friendly staff.
Nice to have a campfire by the tent.
Lovely to see the pigs (in their own field) and the veg growing.
Good for kids to see the animals.

Disliked Steep field so hard to find a flat pitch.
Field covered in sheep poo - ok when dry but wouldn’t have liked to camp if rained!
The Barn where the kitchen and bathroom is, is overrun by chickens and so covered in their poo and very smelly.
Smelly drains.
Only one toilet and one shower for the whole site.
Close to Road.

Liked My partner and I spent 5 wonderful days here. As soon as we arrived we were made to feel very welcome. We chose to pitch our tent on the plateau at the top of the hill-which was the perfect spot. Giving us views down the valley, over the farm itself and awesome for star gazing. The farm was peaceful and idyllic, we loved that many animals roomed freely. We brought fresh produce on site, eggs, sausages and bacon which were all yummy. They provide lots of extras in case you run out of something or have forgotten a corkscrew!!! Great Local pub and surrounding area with lots of walks. We will be returning. I also had reflexology on site which was the perfect end to a perfect stay .

Unpowered grass tent or motorhome site

Liked We loved the spaciousness of the campsite meaning we could find a lovely quiet spot away from other campers. Equally if we had been with friends it would have been easily possible to all pitch up together. The sheep and chickens roaming freely was lovely and the possibility of freshly laid eggs and other farm produce was great. Kim and Mark were really lovely and helpful and met us at the site to explain how everything worked and where to find everything. It was my partners first time camping so we only stayed for one night as a 'test run' but would have loved to stay longer, the site was so lovely and peaceful.

Local attractions

You’ll be in the Cotswolds National Landscape here, so there are plenty of places to stretch your legs on a walk nearby, including jaunts on the Cotswold Way and along the banks of the Thames and Severn Canal. Westonbirt, The National Arboretum (15 minutes’ drive) is also a wonderful place for a wander, as are the estates of Woodchester Mansion (10 minutes) and Highgrove House (15 minutes).

You can also take tours of Woodchester Valley Vineyard (10 minutes) or step aboard the Negus 747 (25 minutes) to see what it’s like to sit in business class… or the cockpit. For urban wanders, take your pick from the Regency architecture of Cheltenham (40 minutes), the numerous attractions of Bristol (50 minutes) and the ever-popular abbey and Roman baths in Bath (55 minutes).
