Home Farm Glamping
Thirteen miles from central London, this 150-acre working-farm estate makes it genuinely easy to feel far away.
Home Farm sits within the Aldenham Estate in the Hertfordshire Green Belt, a private expanse of meadow, mature woodland, and a secluded lake that gives the impression of deep countryside. The train from central London to Elstree and Borehamwood takes under 25 minutes, and the site is 1.5 miles from the station, which rather undermines the usual excuses for not going.
Twelve yurts and bell tents are spread across the grounds with enough separation to feel individual. The communal barn is well-kitted for cooking and gathering, the bathroom facilities come up repeatedly in reviews as a genuine high point, and each unit arrives with lanterns, comfortable bedding, and a BBQ pack. The communal fire pit is the social centre after dark. Families with young children tend to thrive here: the grounds are safe to roam, there are books and toys in the barn, and the under-5s are explicitly welcome.
The farm has been running glamping for over a decade and the operation shows it: the welcome is warm without being hovering, the site is kept to a clear standard, and the owners carry a genuine interest in wildlife and the land. Groups booking a private event or work retreat will find the site set up for it. Harry Potter Studios and St Albans Cathedral are within reach for a day out.
