Peace and quiet

My 8 year old and I spent two nights here at the end of summer. The location is easy to reach from London, but feels like a world away from the hustle and bustle. The fact there is no electricity means the peace and quiet of this magical woodland setting is maintained, yet the hosts provide everything you need, so it's perfectly balanced between low-effort camping and peace and quiet, unlike some Glamping sites which feel like Holiday Parks! The Wardens being on site 24/7 was really reassuring as I was travelling solo with my 8 yo, not that we needed to bother them during our stay, but knowing they were there in case of emergency was great. We received a warm welcome and once we were shown around and how everything worked, we were then left to relax, explore and soak in the beautiful surroundings. I would 10/10 recommend if you're looking for somewhere peaceful, quiet, in nature but close to attractions to keep the family entertained during the days, look no further!

Dear Siobhan, we're so happy that you and your son had a lovely stay with us at Beech. We do try and make it as peaceful and restful as possible, whilst still allowing you to feel safe and comfortable whilst surrounded by the magic of the woodland. We do hope that you'll be back to visit us again. Thank you!
Brilliant experience

My family comprising of a 4 and 7 year old came to stay here, and all I can I say is from the moment we arrived it was like stepping into another world. Set in woodland location it has 9/10 large bell tents, everyone gets their own fire pit and picnic table and there are also 2 communal fire pits so you can meet your neighbours. The tents are large enough for 4 people, luggage and kitchen ware supplied by the camp. Upon arrival we were greeted by Lewis, a lovely warden that even helped with our wheelbarrow! He showed us around and we immediately felt welcomed by all. The children made friends with all the other little campers and they were able to roam around the site safely running after the bluebell steam train that went past every hour or so - it was a truly amazing experience- and I'm sure we'll be back again. We were very lucky with the weather and plucked the courage to an outdoor bucket shower which was actually such a great experience. Highly recommend this place!

This is a delightful site set in woodland and surrounded by gorgeous countryside and farmers fields. We stayed in a faraway pitch, which was slightly distanced from the other tents. We had our own glade with a fire pit covered by a tarpaulin, which was great when it rained. Everything we needed for catering the weekend - the only thing you need to pack is your bedding. Site managers Jesse and Lewis were really lovely, created a nice welcoming atmosphere and super helpful. Perfect escape, especially with kids as they can run wild in woodland without fear of traffic. Some great places to visit near by too if you like National Trust and gardens. Also nice villages. We loved it and will be back!

My daughter (10) and I had a lovely time at the campsite. It was a great base to go exploring and we actively looked forward to spending time in and around the tent. We built up a fire in our firepit every night, enjoyed the unique bucket showers and relaxed in the quiet. I will add, it is very rare to find somewhere this dark. If the sun went down and we turned out the lamps, I could not see AT ALL. As a place to get away from it, this rates very highly for me.

Came for a one night stay with 2 friends, plus my 11y/o and 8y/o for their first experience of camping, and we absolutely loved it. This was ideal as the tent was really well equipped and the perfect size for the 5 of us. The setting is beautiful and well worth having to carry bags down a short track to be car-free. It was raining when we arrived but the welcome was warm and the provision of covered areas around the tent meant we could quickly get in and keep everything dry. One the sun came out, the next door field provided some space for the kids to run and the grown ups that walk more sedately! We needed to buy more kindling so do come prepared for that, and bring plenty of lanterns for ambient light - one was provided but we needed more. Our tent was tucked away from the others a little which was lovely, some are a bit more open but on the plus side, closer to the facilities. As a heads up, there are fairly frequent planes flying over to and from Gatwick, it wasn't at all a problem but don't expect it to be silent/ nature sounds only at night. We didn't try the bucket showers but maybe next time! We'll definitely be back again.
