Glamping Pod - Ensuite Glamping Pods Dec 2025

Perfect! They thought of all the little touches. Inside the pods were welcome books with instructions regarding who to contact and where to go, as the owners were off-site due to it being near Christmas, as well as places we could visit during our stay, crockery, utensils, and cooking ware in the cupboards. The pod was preheated, secluded, and cosy, even in December. We loved the animals too - there were alpacas, goats (we petted these), and highland cows. 5 stars all round. The site was also very close to Bourton-on-the-Water, Stow-on-the-Wold, and Daylesford, which was perfect!

Fantastic 4 night break

Glamping Pod - Ensuite Glamping Pods Sep 2025

Very quiet location. Beautiful, clean glamping pod and the fire pit was a bonus. I could not fault our 4 night stay at Notgrove, joined a yoga class one and morning really enjoyed it. Went quad biking around the farm, not to forget the beautiful animals on the farm and the naughty little goats that kept escaping out of their pens.

A lovely stay

Safari Tent - Safari Tents (Dog Friendly)Jul 2025

A lovely location and perfect for what we needed. The only niggle was that when we arrived there was another family in the lodge we'd booked (and their booking confirmation said that they'd booked the same lodge as us). One quick phone call though and it was all sorted out. Hope this doesn't happen again! (It's a problem with booking.com apparently).
