For larger groups why not try our on site glamping experience

 

 

Grange Wood Glamping 

 

A ’pop-up’ glamping site was developed in 2015 and a local business held ‘hen camps’ in bell tents during the summer months. This was very successful but the increasing demand for larger groups meant that a bigger site was required.  The local business moved to a much larger site several miles away and were able to continue with their growth. This left Mary & Mick with their “bijou” site and in 2021 the idea of ‘Grangewood Glamping’ was sown. A small off grid ‘pop-up’ glamping site for couples or alternatively a limited availability for groups of family or friends, with sole use of the site and no minimum but a maximum occupancy of up to 14 people under canvas. With additional accommodation for 6/7 in the B&B rooms for those whom ‘off-grid glamping’ is really not their thing. A perfect private space making it possible for friends and all the family to gather and meet up in one place.

 

Only available the first weekend in May until the last weekend in August.

 

Within the grounds and garden of ‘The Grange’. Just walk through the living willow arch and you will find ‘Grange Wood’, 3 acres of woodland with leafy pathways leading to secluded clearings where, out of view and secreted away is our off-grid mini ‘pop-up’ glamping site.
