Cowleaze Farm offers glamping with impressive views between The Cotswolds and the North Wessex Downs. Book a stay here and you’ll have your own glamping hideaway in view of the enigmatic Uffington White Horse. You can ponder its Bronze Age origins as you sit on the deck or sink into the wood-fired hot tub outside your pod. Or perhaps you prefer to pull on your walking boots and hike to see this chalky hillside landmark up close? However you spend your time here, the pod at Cowleaze Farm is a lovely little self-contained getaway that’s well equipped for a weekend in the country.
It sits in a secluded spot within the grounds of your host’s farmhouse garden, overlooking a veg patch and a paddock that you’re welcome to explore. In the summer the paddock is filled with wildflowers and a pathway is mown for you to meander through them. But whenever you come this well-built, bespoke glamping pod or cabin offers a comfortable indoor-outdoor place to stay. The campfire and hot tub are tempting even in cooler weather and it’s always warm indoors thanks to a log-burning stove. There’s a cosy, raised double bed with a window at its foot giving views to the hills and the horse. You have a little kitchenette with a gas hob, a kitchen sink and a fridge – and there’s an en suite shower and flushing loo too. Staying here is about as easy as glamping comes. The bed is made up for you and towels are provided as well.
In fact, Katy and Mark, your hosts, even get the wood-burning hot tub started so you can relax as soon as you arrive. They’ll welcome you before leaving you to enjoy the peace and quiet of the place. And that may be all you want to do while you’re here but there’s plenty to explore if you want to. Swindon’s nearby, Marlborough’s not far and Oxford is a half-hour drive away. North Wessex and The Cotswolds both offer great walking, great country pubs, lovely villages and plenty of historic sites – starting with the one you can see out the window.
Our Veg Patch Pod is a bespoke and unique self-built fully self sufficient glamping unit. Enjoy peace and quiet in the privacy of our paddock, adjacent to our home. Enjoy the views of the Ridgeway and Uffington White Horse whilst laying in bed or from the bubbles of our wood-fired hot tub. Snuggle up in front of the log burner or around the purpose built campfire.
