  • Peaceful site on a working farm 15 minutes' walk from Painswick
  • Close to the Cotswolds Way and other walking/bike trails
  • Fishing lake and lodge with kitchen and woodburning stove
What a cracking spot for Cotswolds capers – pick a patch at Painswick Glamping and you’ll be in a prime position for pottering around this pretty part of the world. Want a rural retreat? You’ll be right pleased with this peaceful place – it’s on a working farm, surrounded by fields and with its own coarse fishing lake for days of dawdling about by the water. It’s an off-grid kind of place, but there’s a small kitchen with toaster, fridge, freezer and kettle. Campfire cookery is very much encouraged too – made all the more tasty by snaffling some of the farm’s free-range eggs or home-reared beef. Prefer your holiday hideaway to have easy access to townie facilities? That’s all sorted here too, for Painswick Glamping (as the name may possibly suggest) is an easy 15 minutes’ amble from the little town of Painswick, a place of pubs, cafés and independent shops. Further pints for country pub enthusiasts are a few minutes’ drive away in Slad, Sheepscombe and Cranham. Of course, you could always get your boots on and take a hike to a pub instead. Or, if you’re after something a little lengthier, perhaps a few days out on the Cotswolds Way might be more your strolling or cycling style? Either way, rest assured that you can come back to a nice warm shower in the smart wetroom, before trotting over to the communal lodge to feed the woodburning stove and curl up on the sofa with a well-earned drink.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely peaceful site. Watched deer grazing in field next to us whilst we cooked dinner. Great to sit on decking watching the ducks on the pond & listening to the birds. Appreciated the ‘picnic table’ & seating to sit at to eat our food as travelling light on the CW so no chairs with us. Pitch a bit lumpy but able to find a flat spot.

Disliked: Nil about the site. Uphill climb to get back onto CW!

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: The location is beautiful - gorgeous views from the pitch, and within a 15 minute walk of a couple of pubs which do food if you want it. It’s a very small, adults only site (max four pitches)which suited us perfectly and so was nice and quiet. It also has a ‘pavilion’ with a log burner and sofas so there is somewhere to shelter if the weather is bad (happily we didn’t need to use it). This also has a seating area by a mill pond which is lovely.

Disliked: The facilities are basic - one toilet/ shower between all four pitches, although there is an additional ‘fisherman’s’ loo if needed. The washing up facilities are also basic with a very small fridge for four pitches and no hot water, although there is a kettle. This is shared with the pitches and one of the glamping huts.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked: Lovely, calm atmosphere in the countryside. We really enjoyed spotting all the local wildlife. We were spoilt for choice of options for walking and the campsite was also a conveniently short walk to Painswick where there's well-stocked corner shop plus pub and cafe. Facilities were good - the fridge so you could store milk etc was a particular bonus. We had a lovely, relaxed weekend and definitely hope to come back!

Local attractions

Start your stay with a wander around Painswick – it’ll all be very painless, as you can get to the gorgeous Painswick Rococo Garden in around 25 minutes on foot, or to Painswick Beacon in 40 for some splendid views. A scenic golf course is a few minutes’ drive north; handily in town are spa days that may appeal to non-golfing partners. And once you’ve pootled around Painswick for a bit… well, there’s plenty more to explore in the rest of the pretty Cotswolds (it didn’t get an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty title for nowt, you know). Long-distance walkers might hit the 100-mile Cotswolds Way, but there are heaps of other strolls around local villages, or you can roam on bikes or horseback (from a stables 20 minutes away). Some of the top spots to set your sights on might include the animal antics at Prinknash Bird and Deer Park (10 minutes’ drive), Cotswold Wildlife Park (45 minutes) or Cotswold Farm Park (45 minutes) and history-tinged rambles at Woodchester Mansion (half an hour) and Chedworth Roman Villa (40 minutes). Foodies may like to stop off in Stroud (15 minutes) to hit the farmers’ market and tour the brewery.
