  • 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).

Liked The team were lovely and friendly. The site is very pretty and has some quirky features. The on site cider was the icing on the cake.

Disliked The road noise is the only thing to let the site down.

Friendly staff, beautiful location on grass pitches.

Power optional grass campsite

Liked Peaceful and beautiful surroundings and quaint facilities.
Spacious pitch and friendly staff.
Very family feel to the site. As a solo female traveller I’m usually fastidious about security but did feel the need here.

Disliked Toilet was clean but the very stained and basic.

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).
