  • Family site on an organic farm 10 minutes’ drive from Cirencester
  • Chedworth Roman Villa 25 minutes’ drive; Cotswold Farm Park 35 minutes
  • Off-grid; well-stocked licensed shop and café; ebike hire
Once you arrive at Abbey Home Farm, 10 minutes’ drive from Cirencester, there’s absolutely no need to move off the site for the duration of your Gloucestershire stay. Why would you ever leave this 1,600-acre farm? Let’s start with the stunning views over Cotswolds fields, and move on to the organic farm shop packed with home-grown fruit and veg. It also sells dairy produce and meat from the farm cows for barbecues (bring your own from home), and – even better – it’s licensed too. There’s also a popular café that's just the spot for coffee to kick-start the day, plus homemade cakes and veggie lunches. All of this is within a 10- to 15-minute gentle stroll of the remotest holiday spots within the farm's woodlands and fields. The farm site is off-grid, with simple facilities including drinking water straight from a farm borehole, washing-up sinks, gas showers and compost loos tucked into the woods. And to top that, everything is crafted from reclaimed or recycled materials. There are wheelbarrows to roll gear in should you need it, as the pitches are spread all over the farm. Just one thing to remember: this site is not party central, so no noise after 10pm please.

Green Field primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Amazing place, excellent Location, beautifully kept and clean. I will come back again.

Disliked Really need a "late" checkin option for solo cyclist or walkers . It created a little stress as a long distance cyclist knowing I needed to be in by 5 PM.

Recommend to friends Visit again

Epic time and we will definitely be back!

Sweet Hill yurt (Private restroom amenities, no electricity)

Liked We stayed in the sweet Hill yurt in our own little woods for a mini break, and we had an amazing time! We didn't really see much of the farm cause we were just having a great time in the woods, my kids 7 and 9 loved it, we cooked evething over the fire, even in the two storms, the owners are lovely and it was the best! We will be back!

Disliked My son wasn't a fan of the toilet but really who is, my only niggles and it's so small is cause the shower bucket (the shower is slow but I loved it) hangs so low it would be handy to have a little shower seat, the other purely because we had storms was it would have been handy to have a picnic bench under a shelter of some kind, again it didn't stop us having a great time

Green Field primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked The overall atmosphere of the place was really lovely. There was plenty of space, easy access to the facilities, a gorgeous cafe and overall great a charm to the place.

Disliked The cafe had limited options for vegetarian gluten free meals which meant my friend couldn't eat there on the Sunday.

Liked Liked the simple, back to basics feel… the toilets and showers in the woodlands were great and made us feel more in touch with nature! Nice to have a break from the norm and go back to basics.
Quiet site, nice walks around the site & farm shop

Disliked Nothing major… showers didn’t really come through warm, but we just had super quick cold ones 😂

Liked Loved the wild meadow pitches and the beautiful view of the rolling hills. The little path to the farm shop is beautiful and had a really lovely relaxed hidden away feeling.

Disliked We forgot to bring toilet roll! 😂

Liked Great space, beautiful views, peace and quiet. Everyone was friendly and everything seemed well looked after.

Disliked When it got busier the washing up area got quite congested - perhaps consider more sinks?

Green Field primitive grass campervan, tent or trailer tent campsite

Liked Abbey Home Farm is everything I want out of a camp site. It truly takes you back to basics. The site is also incredibly clean, completely secure with a gated entrance that only guests have the code for. As an added bonus, 5 minutes walk away is the Farm Shop where you can purchase fresh meat from the animals feared on site, fruit and veg, and a wide selection of packetless refil options for cereal, seeds, nuts, and more. We didn't try the cafe but it looked delightful. I will absolutely be staying here again.

Disliked The only elements I would want to warn people of is the A429 being so close you hear a lot of traffic (especially if the ground is wet) and the fact that the area as a whole is on a domestic flight path (we didn't mind this as the whole point of our stay was to go to the air show but it may be something others would wish to consider. It's not just Abbey Home Farm affected by this, it is the whole area)

Local attractions

Keen to explore the area on two wheels? Rent a bicycle from Cotswold eBikes on site, and set off down quiet rural roads to pretty villages built of mellow stone in the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (20 minutes’ ride). If you’ve got kids on board, make for the lakeside beach and floating inflatables at Cotswold Country Park and Beach (40 minutes), or let them burn off more energy on paddleboards and kayaks at Lake 32 Outdoor Centre (35 minutes). When only cuddling animals will do, it’s time to head to Cotswold Farm Park (35 minutes’ drive), to bottle-feed lambs, baby goats and piglets, see rare-breed farm animals and take tractor rides. In search of a bit of Cotswolds history? You’ll find it among the fourth-century AD Roman ruins at Chedworth Roman Villa (25 minutes’ drive), where you can admire ornate floor mosaics and the Roman version of central heating. If your interest is piqued, you can see more local Roman finds at the Corinium Museum (10 minutes), which has fine displays of sculpture, mosaics and jewellery.
