  • Family-friendly Cotswold valley site based on an 90-acre organic farm
  • A 20-minute drive from Westonbirt, The National Arboretum and Stroud
  • A 45-minute walk to restaurants, pubs and cafés in Nailsworth
Get set for a stay in a Cotswold valley that has a flower meadow and views for miles. With 90 acres of space and plenty of livestock, Sallywood Farm is a working Gloucestershire farm dedicated to environmental stewardship, with a number of conservation and rewilding projects underway. Guests here won’t just get to share the gorgeous natural setting – it’s also an excellent starting point for long country walks along the ancient footpaths that begin from the farm. There’s plenty of livestock around the farm, including free range chickens, and its non-animal features include loos and warm showers. The field and facilities are very finely set up for any family break, but what’s the surrounding area like? Well, that’s mighty fine too. The market town of Nailsworth is 45 minutes’ walk from the site (or a 10-minute drive). The restaurants, pubs and cafés are part of its highlight reel, and it hosts a monthly market. Further on – 20 minutes’ drive to be exact – is Stroud, which runs a farmers’ market showcasing produce from several local farms, artisan bakers, cheesemakers and other foodie bits and pieces. Of course, Bath (50 minutes’ drive) and Bristol (40 minutes) are cultural, foodie and historical havens in their own rights too. Upon your return, there’s no need to retire right to your spacious new home (unless you’d like to get some quiet time, of course). That’s because the site has a designated firepit set up with seating for any seeking somewhere to mingle or stargaze.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: We family of three with a 4yr old, had a pleasant stay at sallywood farm. We were able to upgrade from wild camping to clamping due to the severe weather (with hail) this was a very welcome suggestion from the owner. There is a small indoor kitchen with stove, freezer and fridge to use and the facilities are clean. The owner is very friendly. We made a wonderful hike to the village through the fields over footpaths. In the village are multiple spots to lunch or dine out.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: It’s a peaceful campsite with specious pitches and excellent, but rustic, facilities and a wonderful view. We camped on the field for wild camping and shared the site with just the birds and butterflies.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: We camped at Sallywood Farm over the August Bank holiday (2022) and quite frankly we had a great time! 6 adults and 2 young children, everybody enjoyed themselves and the overwhelming opinion was we must come back! The site is in the middle of the countryside, and the pitches in a nice secluded spot with lovely views. There's lots to do: including, but not exhaustively, loads of walks, numerous pubs and various places to visit (Nailsworth for instance). The staff are really nice and very helpful (e.g shower running too hot, fixed quickly). The pitches are a short walk for the car park, with an interesting way to get your gear transferred at no extra cost, by tractor! Lovely pitch, good facillities, great staff, what more can you ask for? Brilliant site!

Disliked: Nothing really.

Local attractions

With all the goods you’re likely to have gathered from local farm shops and farmers’ markets, you should be nicely prepared for a picnic at Coaley Peak (10 minutes’ drive), where views reach over the Forest of Dean and Severn Vale. The energy from the aforementioned spread might come in handy for walks around the 700-acre Tudor house and grounds at Newark Park (20 minutes) or the plant life haven at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum (20 minutes). Even more adventurous sports can be sought out at Cotswold Water Park (40 minutes) – canoeing, kayaking, wakeboarding, windsurfing and so on. It's no secret around here that Bristol (45 minutes) and Bath (50 minutes) make for packed days out. The former has Banksy street art and a buzzy harbour, while Bath has Roman spas, architectural sites and the Jane Austen Centre. Looking to see more historical properties too? Woodchester Mansion (15 minutes) and Rodmarton Manor (25 minutes) aren’t far off either.
