Located in Shaftesbury, Dorset, in the South West of England, this glamping site called Gold Hill offers a picturesque retreat for up to four people. Situated near the Cranborne Chase & West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the site features two bell tents set in a three-acre meadow with classic country views. Guests can choose between a traditional bell tent or a bulbous 'lotus belle' tent, both equipped with a comfortable double bed, soft furnishings, and the option to add extra beds for children.
Despite its rustic charm, Gold Hill Glamping provides modern comforts such as flushing toilets, hot showers, and a well-equipped kitchen shelter. The site remains a working farm, allowing guests to interact with ponies and watch cows being milked. Nearby woodland offers a secret discovery spot with rope swings, fairy doors, and a stream for splashing. For those looking to explore further, footpaths lead to Mlebury Hill, Compton Abbas, and Fontmell Down, with a pub stop in Fontmell Magna and a steep stroll up Gold Hill in Shaftesbury.
The glamping experience at Gold Hill is a blend of tranquility and adventure, with no electricity but plenty of lanterns and campfires for evening light. The site's proximity to iconic landmarks and natural attractions makes it an ideal base for exploring the beauty of Dorset. Whether relaxing in the meadow or venturing out on foot, guests can immerse themselves in the timeless and idyllic setting of Gold Hill Glamping.
