The creak of original floorboards and the weight of Georgian stone walls — this feels more like staying in a friend's country house than anything resembling a typical campsite.

The Old Rectory offers both traditional guest house rooms and camping pods, making it a good fit for couples after a bit of comfort, families wanting flexibility, or dog walkers who'd rather check about bringing their four-legged friend before turning up. It's open all year, so works for midwinter escapes as much as summer breaks. The guest house side brings proper beds and period charm, while the pods give you that outdoor edge without wrestling with guylines in the rain.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth asking what's included when you book. Campfires are a possibility but check on arrival — don't assume. The vibe here leans toward quiet and personal rather than big-field camping. If you want the countryside but aren't precious about being entirely under canvas, this hybrid setup might be exactly what you're after.
