Offering luxury glamping in furnished tents at The Paddock, Bowrundel Lifestyle sits in Gloucestershire countryside near Tewkesbury, and is handy for both the M5 and M50. It’s a family-friendly spot with a kids’ play area and plenty of room for ball games and outdoor activities, and parents can easily keep an eye on their kids from the tents.
Speaking of the tents, these are safari tents that come decked out with beds, a sofa, a kitchenette and a woodburner, plus festoon and fairy lights for a magical night-time vibe. A short walk takes you to the old stable block, now converted to washrooms housing spotless toilet and shower facilities, plus a baby-changing area.
On this eco-friendly site, hot water is mostly generated by solar panels mounted on the roof. If you do decide to cook for yourselves, the washing-up area is at the side of the stable block – you can pick up stuff from the supermarkets in Tewkesbury (10 minutes’ drive), where there are also plenty of traditional beamed pubs serving tasty local grub if you’re having a break from cooking.
Back at base, there’s an on-site nature trail where you can spot wild flowers, birds and insects. The owners encourage you to stick to the footpath so you don’t disturb the wildlife.

Local attractions
History abounds in this corner of Gloucestershire, with medieval Tewkesbury just 10 minutes’ drive down the road. Stroll in the grounds of the abbey or picnic at the spot where the Avon and Severn rivers meet – and there are lots of indie shops to snoop around too, offering anything from antiques to vintage albums. You might also like to admire the Georgian architecture in elegant Cheltenham, or explore the historic docks in Gloucester (both 25 minutes’ drive).
If you’d rather get active, golf and boating are within 10 minutes’ drive, and you can fish for carp on the River Severn (15 minutes). Bredon Hill National Nature Reserve (20 minutes) is a lovely spot for meandering walks in woodland and meadows to Iron Age forts and castle ruins.
The kids can get hands-on with keeper sessions and meerkat encounters at All Things Wild activity centre (35 minutes), spot the artworks at Showborough House Garden Sculpture Exhibition (10 minutes’ walk) or let off steam in the adventure playground at Sudeley Castle and Gardens (half an hour’s drive), while you check out the Tudor-themed exhibitions.
