The River Cole slips past quietly here, a proper Cotswold chalk stream where brown trout hold in the weed beds and willow shadows stretch long on summer evenings.
This is a small glamping spot with pods and chalets rather than traditional pitches, tucked into the gentler country between Lechlade and Fairford. It suits couples after a rural escape or anglers slipping away for a few days — Lechlade & Bushyleaze Trout Fisheries is close enough for dawn sessions before breakfast. The golden stone villages and Thames Path walks are all within easy reach, and dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one along.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so check what's included with your booking — think self-contained units rather than a full campsite setup. Campfires need clearing on arrival. It's a quiet, low-key base with the river as your neighbour and that soft Cotswold light spilling through the trees.
