Glamping Hampshire with Hot Tub

Glamping at Manor Farm, Alton, Hampshire with Featherdown Farms. Some years ago Anna and Will introduced the first Feather Down farm to the UK. Situated on the edge of the South Downs National Park, Manor Farm remains a tranquil oasis just an hour from London that many guests have returned to time and again. Farming arable, cattle and sheep among a classic rolling landscape of copses and sunken lanes is even more of a pleasure now the family get to share it with so many happy people. Lambing in April is a highlight. You can even help deliver a lamb! Visit the recent arrivals any time in the season with a family tour. Enjoy one of the Frills tents and relax under a twinkling starscape in your own hot tub, or select a tent with an en suite instead.

The tents are in the old farm orchard under trees or amongst hedgerows and are ideally spaced, each one offering privacy whilst also being well placed for groups. Some face into the orchard towards the lamb paddock, while others have views over Alton and the rolling countryside beyond. Each tent has its own campfire site for cooking hearty meals in the stew pot or toasting marshmallows, and there are plenty of places for foraging wood. A barbecue under the stars is not to be missed, where you can receive a selection of home-grown or locally produced.

Wandering off site, there are great local pubs within walking distance, including the Three Horseshoes in East Worldham who have always looked after our guests well. For those who love a dip, there’s wild swimming at Frensham Ponds that is only 20 minutes away, or a fun paddle at West Wittering and Hayling Island on the coast, which you can reach within an hour. There is also Alice Holt Forest where you can hire bikes, enjoy Go Ape in the treetops or simply take a relaxing walk on the forest trails.
