  • Luxury glamping among wildflower meadows at a four-acre family farm
  • A 15-minute drive to Cambridge, or half an hour cycle ride
  • Private hot tub and firepit for each unit, plus woodburning stove
What a gorgeous spot for a glamping break – the stylish outdoor accommodation at Fen Meadows is set up in secluded wildflower meadows, with fabulous views over the Cambridgeshire countryside. This lovely location is part of a four-acre farm just outside the village of Lode (a tiny place but still big enough to host a food pub, 10 minutes’ walk from the site). With lots of outdoor space to relax in and sweeping views over the open fields you’ll probably feel like you’ve landed in the middle of nowhere – and yet it’s only a 15-minute drive (or a half-hour cycle) to Cambridge when you fancy spending some time exploring one of England’s great cities. Soaking up that rural atmosphere should be nice and easy, whether you head out into the local area on foot or bikes, take one of the farm’s rowing boats out for a paddle or settle down on site to chill out. You’re welcome to take wanders through the farm’s various meadows (which are full of bees and butterflies flitting around the flowers) or flop into a deck chair in the orchard to read a book or snooze. All the accommodation is set up to make for a truly relaxing stay, too – each one sleeps up to four, with top-quality bed linen, duck down duvets, bath robes and fluffy towels provided. There’s a woodburning stove and oil heater inside, so you’ll always have somewhere nice and warm to retreat to, but it’s likely that you’ll want to hang out in the fresh air if possible… especially when you note the presence of a firepit and a fabulous wood-fired hot tub outside…

Deer Run cabin

Liked: I loved how friendly the staff were and the location was perfect! People may be sceptical at first about outdoor showers and toilets but they were decorated to such clean perfection! I thoroughly enjoyed the stay I had here and I would recommend to anyone and will be back again! The cabin itself was stunning and warm with the nice little touches really made our stay feel more warm and welcome. The hot-tub was great looking out to the vast fields making it a perfect location for the deer run cabin! I cannot express enough how friendly and willing to help if you had any needs the staff were. All round a perfect weekend away from the city.

Honey Bee bell tent

Liked: After being on the road for three weeks, on two sites in modern tents and also a Tr@velodge, this was my reward to myself and the best of all of those. Ridiculously comfy bed and a quiet site. Visited Ely Cathedral and Denny Abbey / fenland farming museum, then just watched the firepit as night fell. Lovely.

Disliked: The stove was smoky as I couldn’t control the draw. Better second night though.

Deer Run cabin

Liked: The accommodation was gorgeous and comfortable with loads of rustic charm, and clearly some thought put in to the little details. Beautiful view from the hot tub too! Very very soft and comfortable bedding. Just the right size but for everything we needed, to say we travelled with a 5 month old baby. LOVED the cute little board games in the cupboard too. Very much appreciated when the weather was too bad to enjoy the tub! The communal kitchen was fully stocked with all utensils, pans and crockery you could possibly need. Plus charging area and hot drink facilities for the tents that didn’t have electricity. A very cool addition to a glamping site that you don’t always see. The toilet/shower facilities were clean and well stocked at all times, and more than just a big standard shower block at a camp site. Pretty decorations, luxurious feeling shampoo, conditioner, shower gel on offer, and something really quite peaceful about showering partially outdoors. Due to bad weather we didn’t explore the local area much - however very friendly locals in the White Swan pub, which is worth a visit. Food looked ace too. Bad weather did not put us off at all - we had a perfect weekend of recharging ourselves, this site was absolutely perfect for that. Glad we booked two nights as would have been too hard to leave after just the one. Wood burning hot tub fired up and warm on arrival which was lovely. The staff were quick to help and very friendly when we couldn’t get it going again ourselves on day 2. No Wi-Fi and poor signal, but honestly it’s probably not the place to come if you just wanna be on your device the whole time so it didn’t bother us. Overall, could not fault this place and would love to come back. Highly highly recommend!

Deer Run cabin

Liked: The cabin, was beautiful, setting was lovely. Nice relaxing stay.

Disliked: No dog waste bin, dog friendly site but have to put your poo bags in the kitchen bin (after asking the staff on site first).Loads of nettles and thorns around the cabin so not good with a young child. Our cabin was not that private when in the hot tub, on the second night the tent across the field were sat by their fire waving at us in the hot tub. Where the other tubs have a screen.

Local attractions

Need a little help to get into ‘relaxed holiday’ mode? There’s a spa housed in an old mill five minutes' drive away where you can unwind with some time spent in the sauna, steam room and Jacuzzi. And maybe a little tipple would help too? If so, take a tour of award-winning Chilford Hall Vineyard (20 minutes' drive) and pick up a bottle of local wine for your evening back at base. Elsewhere around the local area, you should definitely stop in at Anglesey Abbey (20 minutes’ walk), a National Trust property with 98 acres of landscaped grounds and a working mill. For more on the nature front, visit Wicken Fen Nature Reserve (25 minutes’ drive), a wetland site that's home to lots of rare butterflies, birds and dragonflies. And of course one mustn’t miss a trip to Cambridge (15 minutes' drive or borrow bikes on site), to take a look at the famed colleges, visit the various museums and see if you can master the art of punting along the river.
