Hollington Park Glamping
Woodland glamping on the Hampshire-Berkshire border where free-roaming peacocks, ancient oaks, and communal firepits add up to something genuinely characterful.
Ten acres of ancient woodland on the edge of the North Wessex Downs AONB is the reason to come to Hollington Park. The site sits on the Hampshire-Berkshire border near Newbury, deep enough in the trees that mobile signal becomes optional and the night soundtrack is owls rather than roads.
Accommodation is a mix of vintage-styled pods and themed bell tents (including a Moroccan option that guests describe as feeling completely secluded even in the rain). The woodland paths are maze-like and properly safe for children to roam without supervision, which is part of what makes this a reliably strong pick for families. On-site animals include peacocks wandering freely and the owners' dogs, and the whole setup reads as a considered passion project rather than a managed operation.
The communal fire pits are a genuine social centre in the evenings. Facilities are solid: hot showers, flushing toilets, BBQ. Four pubs are walkable from the site. For days out, Highclere Castle and Watership Down are both close, and the AONB is designated as one of Britain's last true dark-sky areas.
“Hollington Park earns its reputation through owner care and ten acres of genuine woodland rather than a facilities arms race. The free-roaming peacocks are the detail that stays with you.”
