The scent of a proper English garden drifts through Ovington House, a handsome guest house where the line between indoor comfort and outdoor stay blurs pleasantly.
This one's for campers who fancy a bit of flexibility — camping pods sit alongside traditional guest house rooms, so you can choose your level of weather-proofing depending on the season or your mood. Worth a visit if you're touring with mixed company: some wanting beds, others after that canvas-and-timber feel. Dog owners should ask ahead about bringing four-legged friends along. Year-round opening means it works for crisp autumn weekends as much as high summer.
The setup feels more country house than campsite — you're staying at someone's actual home rather than a field with facilities blocks. Campfires need checking on arrival, so don't assume you'll be toasting marshmallows without asking first. It's a quieter, more intimate sort of stay, the kind of place where you might end up chatting to other guests over breakfast rather than nodding at strangers by the shower block.
