Peaceful glamping on a farm with three lakes in rural Essex
A 20-minute drive from London Stansted Airport; 45 minutes from London
Off grid site with well-equipped bell tents

Set on a family-run, working farm in rural Essex, Dairymeade Farm Glamping has a peaceful location and more than a touch of luxury. It’s a small place, which means no crowded, noisy pitches and plenty of space to relax. Every pitch has a firepit and barbecue, and all bedding, cutlery and crockery is included so you don’t need to lug yours from home. The bell tents easily sleep up to four people in a double bed and two singles – and they’re all proper beds with proper mattresses for a proper night’s sleep. The site owners pride themselves on being as eco-friendly as possible, and they’re pleased to be totally off grid – make a note here – that means no electricity or wifi, so you can completely switch off from the stresses of modern life. Another couple of things: this is a handy stopover if you have an early flight, as London Stansted Airport is only 10 minutes’ drive away.

Bell tent (no pets)

Liked: The site was lovely, the tents are spacious and a large gap between the three tents means you aren't close to other campers. The whole experience was so well thought out, the tent is immaculate, beds are comfy too. The shower & composting toilet were very clean and the bonus of everything being provided including cooking facilities, plates, cups etc is so helpful. We did bring our own cooker as we didn’t want to have to wait for fellow campers to make our morning cuppa. The site is lovely for a stroll, and we were made very welcome by the host.
