Everything you need to escape...

Our luxury bell tent accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to ensure you have a true back-to-nature experience but with all the modern comforts to make your stay with us extra special.

Our tents are carpeted and have plenty of blankets and cushions to make it super cosy. We are very child friendly and can provide travel cots and highchairs on request. Each tent is situated on its own wooden deck with a well-appointed camp kitchen and its own composting toilet.

Outside, you have your own fire pit where you can sizzle your own bacon and toast marshmallows. We provide a bag of logs to get you started and Jamie is also on hand if you'd like to learn a bit more about campfire cooking. Or you can take a wander up the hill to the fire circle on our own Iron Age hill fort, which is the perfect place to enjoy a sun-downer or gaze up at the stars.

WELCOME HAMPERS

Our welcome hampers are a great way to ease into your stay with us. As well as local bread, cheese, jam and chutney, we'll supply you with our own fresh eggs, handmade Forge sausages plus a selection of seasonal fruit and vegetables from our veg patch. We'll also throw in a sample of local cider and ales which are produced just a few miles down the road from our place.

BUSHCRAFT COURSES

The Forge is also home to the Wild Bushcraft Company and we offer all our glampers 15% off half and full day bushcraft and hunting weapons courses. Once you have booked in we'll send you over a promotional code. Simple!

How do composting toilets work?

Our composting toilets are not only beautiful but they also pay a key part in our commitment to being as sustainable as possible and providing an authentic off-grid experience for our guests. As well as saving water, the waste that is produced is used to fertilise the trees in our newly planted woodland.

So how does it work? It's very simple..... it uses aerobic decomposition to break down the waste into a rich, safe hummus ready to be used as fertiliser. It also makes a great home for our worms! You can use the toilet as you would any normal flushing toilet - except you just have to throw a cup of sawdust down the hole when you are done. There is absolutely no smell and you can even enjoy spectacular views while you are at it!
