About the site

The Hen's Dens offers stunning camping and touring amongst an orchard, or the option of converted pod chicken sheds with cosy insulation and plenty of shelter from the elements. There are just six individually named grass pitches for tents and campervans only, each nestled away in its own private slot of the orchard on a slight slope. The maximum number of people per pitch is five and each pitch measures 3.6m x 7m and comes with 6 amp electric hook up. Inside the three pods is toasty heating, lighting and electric - with a picnic bench outside and space to make up a campfire. You can choose how you'd like to stay, either renting unfurnished and bringing your own beds, or booking a set of camping beds for your trip for an extra fee, so that things are nice and easy. Each den comes with the luxury of your own private lockable bathroom and kitchen area where you can safely keep bits and bobs. It has your shower, toilet and wash basin inside, along with an indoor sofa area. There's space for washing up and a small kitchen area with a fridge-freezer, microwave and kettle. Bringing a good sleeping bag is recommended to make sure you're comfy at any time of year. Extras such as beds and stoves can also be booked at an additional cost, and you can even book a farm tour! One well behaved dog is welcome to join you on your glamping adventure.

The Hen's Dens at Orchard Organic Farm is open all year round.

A note from the site themselves...

The Dens are our original chicken sheds, built by us at the start of our organic laying hens enterprise, which became redundant since we expanded the business. We suddenly had a light bulb moment and thought 'Why don't we turn them into Timber Tents', and, with the support of the planning authority, we set out to convert them.

The Dens have been carefully set in a quiet spot amongst our cob nut trees and adjoining an orchard of organic desert apple trees. After many months of hard work, we have created an attractive, appealing, unique, small site to provide an enjoyable place to stay. We hope you get to experience it soon, Jerry
