  • Peaceful Wiltshire site in the grounds of a 15th-century manor house
  • Bradford-on-Avon five minutes' drive; 20 minutes to Bath or Longleat
  • On the banks of the River Frome; wild swimming and cream teas on site
Ever thought you could feel right at home living on a smart country estate? Well, here’s your chance to give it a try. You won’t be staying in the medieval buildings themselves, but at Stowford Manor Farm you’ll set up in the gorgeous grounds of a 15th-century manor house in the Wiltshire countryside, about three miles from Bradford-on-Avon. And this small-scale site has another excellent feature – it’s right on the banks of the River Frome, with access to the water for fishing, paddling, swimming, paddleboarding and launching small boats. In fact, it’s such a great spot for wild swimming that the Farleigh and District Swimming Club has its base about half a mile downstream – and if you fancy joining them for a dip, you can join up for half price. The campsite itself is a fairly traditional setup, with simple facilities in the form of toilets, showers (extra charge applies) and hot-water washing-up sinks. Dogs and kids are welcome, and you’ll be allowed to set up barbecues and firepits as long as they’re kept off the ground. Logs, barbecue boxes and other goodies can be added to your booking to make life easy (and tasty…) As you might expect from a farm site, you’ll share the space with some animals (get ready to meet some pigs, donkeys and cows while you're here) as well as arable crops. What you may not have expected is that the site also has a lovely little tea room that’s open in the afternoons for cream teas and ice creams, and it also serves up wood-fired pizzas in the evenings (Friday and Saturday nights from May to August, plus other evenings in peak season).

What customers say

A scenic, family-friendly campsite by the River Frome, praised for its natural beauty, river fun, and kind staff. Enjoy cream teas, but be aware of road noise and some dated/busy restrooms. Many still want to return!

Cricket Ground power optional grass campsite

Liked Lovely owners and staff. The site is on the banks of the river Frome, suitable for family paddling, swimming and paddleboarding. There is a swimming club through the site, so presumably the water quality is good.

Disliked The toilet and shower facilities could do with upgrading. There aren't enough when the site is full, and they only appeared to be cleaned once daily.
Small flies are attracted to the lights of the facilities, and they attract spiders by the score. So be warned if you don't like spiders!
Young children would need careful supervision as the river is not fenced off from the site.

Cricket Ground power optional grass campsite

Liked Great friendly welcome & a lovely setting for a campsite right by the river. Great looking cream teas served from the reception area. Plenty of room at the pitches too.

Disliked No fault of the site itself but we hadn't realised that the site was right by the A366, a main road out of Trowbridge. Plagued by what seemed like 50+ really noisy motorcyclists riding along the road between 7.30pm to 9pm+. Kept awake all night by traffic all night.

Showers & toilets were adequate at best. Advertised as wifi at the pitches but it wasn't working, if it existed at all.

Liked Lovely site. Great staff. Nice cream teas. Right by the river - sandy shore allows paddling!

Disliked The 2 showers were great, though surprised to have to pay for them. Only 50p, however.

Local attractions

If you’d like to explore your immediate surroundings, you need only find one of the footpaths that runs from the site to places like Farleigh Hungerford Castle, Iford Manor Gardens or Westwood Manor. There are riverside walks galore around here too – either along the River Avon or by the Kennet and Avon Canal. A couple of the Avon’s top attractions are in fact its urban spaces – both Bradford-on-Avon (five minutes' drive) and Bath (20 minutes) are well worth visiting for their historic buildings. You may also like to take a trip to Frome (15 minutes). If you’ve brought the kids along on holiday, a trip to the safari park at Longleat (20 minutes) may well be on the cards; if that's a bit too big, consider booking a wolf experience at The Little Zoo (15 minutes) instead. For a more grown-up day out, perhaps you'd like to potter around Prior Park Landscape Garden (20 minutes).
