About New Barn Farm
Reconnect with nature on this Bedfordshire farm offering family-friendly luxury glamping. It's just under 30 minutes from the M1 and less than an hour from Greater London but seems like a whole world away. For those who love animals, you'll have the chance to meet pigs, sheep, pygmy goats, chickens, ponies and more. You even have the option of looking after a guinea pig or a pair of chickens during your stay. Children can play and explore the woodland, while the footpath networks and grass field margins around the farm give you plenty of space to walk, cycle, picnic and mini-go-karts. Oxford and Cambridge are within easy reach, and Silverstone is nearby too. The eight off-grid canvas lodges are located at the edge of the Blackwell Spinny, looking out to stunning views of a six-acre field with grazing animals. Each has space for a group of six, including a living area, three bedrooms (double bed, a cupboard bed and a bunk bed) and a fully equipped kitchen with a wood-fired stove. There are also games and more to keep everyone entertained. You'll also have the choice of an indoor or private outdoor shower (highly recommend to be even closer to nature). The owners, Hannah and Will, are always on hand to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible. Don't miss the farm's delicious pizza nights and well-stocked honesty shop.
New Barn Farm is open from 29/03 to 31/10.
All glamping units have their own private facilities. There is a pizza oven for guests to enjoy, and there is a communal area ideal for events. On site, you'll find an honesty shop with the essentials and locally-sourced produce. Homemade meals are available to order and the site hosts regular pizza nights.
A pub called The Royal Oak Carlton is just a 5-minute drive away.

Things to do on site and in the Bedford area
Here the focus is on nature and letting the natural environment wow you. Keep your eyes peeled and you might catch sight of badgers, foxes, owls, woodpeckers and muntjac deer.
With so much safe space and enticing woodland, little ones will be out and about playing everyday. A range of footpaths around the farm give you ample space to walk, cycle and picnic.
If you and your little ones are animal fans, you'll be keen to groom the horses at the farm till their coats gleam, or wile away hours in New Barn Farm's sweet mini-zoo.
For fans of all things academic or history buffs, Oxford and Cambridge are close and their ancient stone buildings are well worth exploring. Fans of thrill rides will be straight down to Silverstone and Towcester to hear the roar of the engines.
The farm has bikes that you can take on jaunts through the lovely Bedfordshire countryside.
