Woods Meadow Glamping comprises four unique and charming lodges overlooking a grassy meadow and the fields and woodland beyond. Each lodge has its own kitchenette, en suite shower room and sleeping for up to six people so is the perfect spot for families who are looking to get away from their to-do lists and find some time to bond in a peaceful setting (whilst maintaining the ability to enjoy free wifi and smart TV if required). Outside, each lodge has parking, a fire pit for barbecues and a decking area with outdoor furniture where you can relax and enjoy the view. Hidden away behind the lodges is our woodland area for children to explore with a rustic fort, tyre play, slide and a swing as well as a scavenger hunt footpath through the trees. Our site is located near multiple country walks and cycling routes which lead to beautiful villages, comfortable cafes, fine dining restaurants or rural pubs. There are also numerous sites of interest to visit nearby including Rochester castle and cathedral, St Andrews Lakes, Diggerland, Leeds Castle, Go Ape and various National Trust properties including Ightham Mote. Locally-sourced luxury ready to cook breakfast hampers supplied by Deborah at Church Farm Cottages are available to book on request. Consisting of 14 quality items, enough for 2 guests, they make a great start to your day in Kent. Sausages - x4 Smoked Back Bacon - x4 Eggs - x4 Apple Juice - Bottle x2 Bread - Loaf Jam - Jar Muesli - Pack Milk - Bottle x2 Tea and coffee - Bags Baked beans - Tin
Woods Meadow Glamping is situated in one of the fields of our family farm, Church Farm in the Kentish village of Ryarsh. The family has been farming here for over 40 years and it continues to be a working arable farm. After taking over the running of the farm in 2020 Richard and Liesl sought a diversification scheme to support it. Various options were considered but opening a glamping site was the preference. The scheme has taken almost three years to come to fruition and we now look forward to welcoming guests to Woods Meadow!
