HIDEAWAY WOOD FARM - A FEAST FOR THE SENSES AND UNIQUE FAMILY EXPERIENCE

If you’re looking for a unique family experience this summer, Hideaway Wood Farm in Dodford near Daventry is opening up for its second summer for glamping, camping and alpaca experiences. With just three luxury bell tents and two camping pitches on 28 acres, it’s the perfect destination to unplug from devices and spend time with the animals in nature as a family. With prices for glamping from £30 per person including an alpaca walk and daily animal feeding, we think it’s great value too!
