Glamping Pods in Woolton Hill near Highclere
Set in a magical private woodland on the Hampshire and Berkshire border near Newbury, these charming pods provide a peaceful retreat for couples and families. The pods sleep 2 adults in a double bed and 2 children on fold-out Z beds, making them perfect for exploring the local area or simply relaxing in nature. Guests have full access to the woodland, where children can build camps, play on the tyre swing, and gather fallen wood for the fire pits. The large six-meter bell tent is bright and airy, with a double doorway, furnished in a Bedouin style with cushions and rugs. It features a double bed for adults and fold-out Z beds for children. Privacy is ensured with a nearby toilet, shower, and sink, and an outside decked seating area offers a cozy spot to enjoy the outdoors. All bedding, towels, cooking utensils, and a fire pit are provided, creating a complete glamping experience. This off-grid site offers a quiet, natural environment with no electricity—although guests can have their phones charged in the owners’ house if needed.

The area offers a variety of outdoor activities and family-friendly attractions, ensuring a memorable stay in the heart of nature. Please note that the site is home to free-roaming birds and dogs, which may approach the accommodation, so it may not be suitable for those uncomfortable with wildlife or animals.
