A note from the site themselves...

Our glamping site and brewery is based on 360 acres of farm and woodland. We are acutely aware of the effects of climate change and the effects our production of craft beers can potentially have. Because of this, we do all we can to be as eco friendly as possible.

We have many re wilding projects going on but the one that we are most involved in is the tree planting project. Ross, the full-time ecologist here is curating the project to ensure that the correct trees are planted in the environment that best ensures they will not only survive but thrive and support the surrounding ecosystem.

We always have solar panels on the roof of the brewery to provide a substantial amount of our power. Chiddinglye is also home to 30 acres of solar farm that feeds the national grid. All our hot water and heating is provided by a wood chip boiler fed by wood produced on the farm from timber bought in by local tree surgeons and from coppicing the woodland here.

We hope we get to welcome you soon and you also get to sample some of our delicious beers too, Edmund

Camping Pod - Capuchin Ensuite Glamping Pods with Hot Tub (No Dogs)Sep 2024

We loved our stay at Missing Link. The campsite is super quiet and chilled. Loved the pigs, so friendly and all the staff were kind and helpful during our stay (: The only trouble we had was that the hot tub didn't get hot! Kind of a shame as that was the main experience we booked for. Still, the cabins are super comfy and the site is really lovely. There are beautiful woodland walks all around and so many pheasants! Overall, very happy 🍁✨️

Lovely and peaceful stay

Camping Pod - Primate Glamping Pod with Hot Tub (No Dogs)Sep 2024

We had a brilliant weekend staying at Missing Link Glamping. All the staff we came across were lovely and welcoming. We stayed in the Primate Pod which is for couples and slightly distanced from the other pods which was great for privacy, The pod itself was cute and homely. Nice outdoor bench and terrace and the hot tub was right next to the pod which was nice. Upon arrival you are provided with one bag of wood for the fire and hot tub, if you are staying for more than two days you definitely need more, it's £25 a bag I believe. We would also recommend buying more matches or bringing more with you as we got through these quickly. The hot tub was clean and filled upon arrival. It is warmed by fire wood, we would recommend that you start to warm the tub a few hours before you want to use it as we found it took a while to heat up. However, once it was warm, it was very enjoyable, we used it every day of our stay. The kitchen comes equipped with plates, utensils and cutlery, and has an oven and hob, fridge and small freezer. Only thing I would suggest that could be added would be a toaster. There was also tea and coffee provided and we found this to be a nice touch. The cabin was clean upon arrival, no issues with the bathroom, lovely warm showers. The bed was comfortable and there is a smart TV whereby you can watch Netflix and YouTube. The location is quite remote however, this adds to the peaceful vibe and it really felt like a break away from our busy lives. There is no shop on site however the Tap Room is open on weekends which is a bar that sells drinks from the brewery which is very nice. If you need a shop it is a short 5/10 minute drive away. There are lots of trails for walking too. Thanks for a great stay we would definitely return again!
