The Thames Path runs close by, and on still mornings you can hear the river before you see it through the trees.

This is a curious hybrid — a traditional guest house that's added a camping pod or two for visitors who want something between canvas and four walls. It suits couples after a walking weekend in the Chilterns, perhaps anglers drawn to this stretch of the Thames, or anyone exploring Marlow and the surrounding villages who fancies a bit more fresh air than a standard B&B room. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so it's worth asking if you're traveling with one.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so phone ahead to check what's included with the pod and what you'll share with the main house. Campfires are possible but need confirming when you arrive. Open all year, which makes it a solid shoulder-season option when many rural sites have closed. The feel is more guest-house-with-a-quirk than full campsite — quiet, low-key, tucked into the Buckinghamshire greenwood.

The Chiltern Way Berkshire Loop

Loops through gentle beechwood hills and quiet farmland west of the main Chilterns ridge, with moderate climbs and some muddy stretches after rain. Suitable for older children used to longer walks, but distance and stiles make it impractical for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Rewards with classic rolling Chiltern scenery, historic villages like Turville, and surprisingly peaceful valleys despite proximity to Reading and the M4.
