About Great Farm

Tucked against the River Coln, Great Farm has all the comforts you could hope for in the countryside. Glamping here is in a family run space, set next door to the Cotswold Water Park with miles of beautiful walks. Choose from a great range of accommodation across its meadows and pretty riverbanks, each ideal for two - except for the Barn Owl gypsy caravans which must be rented together as a getaway for two couples or a family. Whether it's a perfect pod, a chic woodland hideaway or even a romantic shepherd's hut that you choose - you're guaranteed your own private shower, toilet and camp kitchen. There are fire pits aplenty too and every single unique camp includes a bubbling hot tub, the icing on the cake.

The Island pod is available from 18th March to 25th November. All other accommodation is available from 1st April to 21st October, with the exception of Barn Owl Camp which is available from 25th March.

Gypsy Caravan - Barn Owl CampMar 2024

My family (husband and 2 kids aged 5 and 7) had a super time at Owl Camp for a mini break in the Easter holidays. Leonie was helpful in providing information on locating the camp, which was a bit tricky in the dark. She helpfully put on the lights for us as the camp is across a field and prewarned us that it was a bit soggy so to drive carefully. The camp itself is in a remote location, very private and quiet. The gypsy caravans had lovely fresh linen and towels. The hot tub was a big highlight for us. Very relaxing and a perfect treat after a day of sightseeing locally. The kitchen area has a sink set up with taps and basin and a double electric ring for cooking on. The toilet and shower room is very clean and modern. Handy to have a living room area with benches and wood burner. Leonie supplied a starter pack of kindling and logs, which kept us cosy. Our family really enjoyed staying at Barn Owl Camp. Maybe take slip on shoes/flip flops as handy when moving around the camp/accessing the hot tub.

Pod - The IslandOct 2022

Lovely private camp, never saw any other people staying in other camps. Pod was very cosy and warm. Aga made a lovely cosy spot to sit outside. Lower marks on cleanliness because obviously most of it is outside so leaves and cobwebs are to be expected. We would definitely stay again
