  • Peaceful farm campsite with spectacular views of the Marlborough Downs
  • Avebury Stone Circles 15 minutes’ drive and Lacock Abbey 40 minutes
  • Off-grid pitches with hot showers, a field kitchen and pizza oven
Grab your space at Great Cotmarsh Farm – a gorgeous and peaceful North Wiltshire base with views to the Marlborough Downs, and an all-round lovely spot for outdoor adventures on a small farm managed on ecological lines to help nature flourish. As well as hot outdoor showers, facilities at this off-grid site include a shared field kitchen and pizza oven – or you can try your hand at proper outdoor cooking on the campfire. If you need some inspiration for the barbecue, delicious pasture-fed lamb and beef are available to buy from the farm. When you visit, say ‘hello’ to the native-breed livestock in the surrounding fields, and feel free to have a wander around the meadows on pathways mown through the grass. If you are after the kind of holiday where you can have fun outdoors, eat tasty food and rediscover your connection to nature, then Great Cotmarsh Farm is the place for you. And there’s lots to see as well: Wiltshire has tons of historic homes and gardens to tour, and when you need some sightseeing inspiration, the site owners can provide advice, local maps and guidebooks. If you want to keep your stay super-local and reduce your carbon footprint, footpaths lead from the pitches into neighbouring meadows and up onto the Marlborough Downs, including access to the White Horse Trail at Board Town (35 minutes’ walk).

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Very quiet. It was great that the campsite has a limited number of pitches and on our first night we were the only people there.
Liked the fact that there was a fire pit with logs available so would light a real fire. Not something I have ever done very much in the past but was great to sit around whilst studying the night sky.
The outdoor toilet and facilities were good and there was plenty of hot water in the showers.

2 bedroom shepherd's hut

Liked Teepee was beautifully laid out, comfortable beds, everything provided and very clean and tidy. Campsite was really peaceful and chilled out. We made good use of the fire pit and pizza oven! Katie was super helpful and let the kids have a go at feeding the lambs.

Primitive grass tent campsite

Liked Beautiful quiet location.
Katy and James were excellent hosts and went out their way to look after us.
The facilities were kept very clean, having individual fire pits for each pitch was a bonus.
