About West Wood Glamping

Set on a working farm, enjoy an escape to the rural countryside just 20 minutes from the bustling city of Newcastle Upon Tyne. Boasting views over the Derwent Valley and the farmer's fields you can spend your days watching life on the farm, from harvests to lambing. Offering a unique experience set in the beautiful Gibsite National Trust you can enjoy exclusive access even when the park is closed. A short twenty-minute walk through the woodland trails will bring you out in the heart of the grounds with the visitors centre and The Market Square, Home to two cosy pods, appropriately named Oak and Elm, sleeping four with a cosy double bed and a king-sized sofa bed. Perfect all year round with a TV to cosy around on winter days or admire the views with alfresco dining in warmer months. Of course, you'll have your own hot tub! There is also a traditional shepherd's hut, ideal for two with a comfortable double bed. You can also enjoy your own hot tub here too and a small seating area outside to soak up the views. Each accommodation has a well-equipped kitchen area for you to cook up a storm! Including all the essential appliances and utensils as well as crockery and cutlery, it will feel like a home away from home. Fire pits are supplied with each unit and are highly recommended! One dog is welcome in the shepherd's hut but do keep in mind you are located on a working farm so they should be kept on leads.
