About Hill Farm Glamping
Nestled at the centre of a 450 acre working farm, Hill Farm have thought of everything to make your stay practically as comfortable as a boutique hotel. A small luxury glamping site with just five pitches, each glamping space has king sized beds and thick duvets, so you can snuggle into a warm bed. At the heart of the space is a wood burning stove, keeping you warm in all weathers. The site also provide firewood and a welcome hamper with marshmallows, eggs from their chickens and hot chocolate. All towels and linen are provided. Outside your tent or shepherds hut are a table and chairs and a kadai fire bowl, where you can BBQ, toast marshmallows or use it to stay warm while you stargaze. Each space has its own secluded area of the farm with a solar lit path at night, and a private eco loo just seconds away. The belle tents share a communal field kitchen called 'Ox Hovel', which is a converted shipping container with all crockery, cutlery and pots and pans provided. A short walk from the belle tents is an outdoor heated shower set amongst the trees with a cosy changing hut beside it. The shepherd's hut is entirely private and has its own small field kitchen and outdoor shower and changing hut. There's also two tin baths for alfresco bathing. The tipi has a wood fired bath tub set right outside on the banks of the Oxford Canal - a real immersion in outdoor living and alfresco bathing. It also has a wonderful field kitchen housed in a converted rice trailer with everything you need for a peaceful and relaxing stay.

Things to do on site and in the Southam area
Walking
Explore the farm and abundance of wildlife with guided farm walks, walk the Jurassic Way or along the Oxford Canal towpath, which runs through the farm. Pack a picnic, or the site can recommend somewhere to stop for lunch.
The farm is on a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme, so the site leaves grassland strips around all the arable fields and allows wildflower margins, encouraging an abundance of wildlife - hares, pheasants, deer, foxes and more... It's also wonderful for bird spotting, especially tree sparrows, skylarks and yellowhammers.
Picnics And Sundowners on Top of Horse Hill
Walk to the highest point on the farm, where you'll find a picnic bench and stunning views of 10 square miles of Warwickshire countryside. On a clear day, you can see as far as the Malvern Hills.
Farm Tour
Children's Tour - For younger children, please ask the site for a mini farm tour to collect eggs from the chickens and see the horses and sheep and the farm machinery in the farmyard.
Immersive Farm Tour - Hugh will take you on a full tour of Hill Farm, explaining the history of the farm, the current practices and plans for the future. Take about an hour for the tour, followed by a drink on Horse Hill to finish up and ask any questions you may have. There is a charge of £50 for this, including a drink at the end for a maximum of 2 people.
Only two tours are available per week, so please book in advance of your stay.
Garden Tour of Hardwick Hill
Hardwick Hill, opposite Hill Farm, has been transformed by the current owners since they moved there in 2004 and includes long borders, established trees, a wildflower meadow, a substantial vegetable garden and an orchard. Upon request, they can provide a private garden tour ending up at the Summer House for drinks/coffee/tea.
Cycling
Bring your own, hire an electric bike from Silver Cyclists in neighbouring Priors Marston, and enjoy stunning views, quiet roads, and excellent pubs.
