  • "What a fabulous place."

    The attention to detail is spot on. So easy to check in. The place is spotless, bed is really comfortable slept so well. The decor is gorgeous, Molton Brown bath products, bathroom is spotless shower is lovely and hot. Really clean and worth every penny. The hot tub is lovely and the little rubber duck made me smile as a fun edition lol. Hosts Davis and Wendy are wonderful, checked to make sure we wanted for nothing and even treated us to a glass of champagne our last night. There’s a little farm shop 5 mins walk from the site that does a lovely fresh home produce breakfast. Super market and pubs 5-10 min drive if that. Definitely recommend this place and will be rebooking for next year. Oh and if you looking for a lovely day out whilst staying we recommended Clumber national park it’s beautiful then get back to the site get the log burner going and chill ! Wonderful, thanks Dave and Wendy see you again

    Oh wow thank you so much for this wonderful feedback it really does mean the world to us. It was great to meet you both we would love to welcome you back next year. Property Owner

  • "A Serene Escape at Southdown Luxury Glamping: A Perfect Blend of Comfort and Nature From the moment we arrived at Southdown, we knew we were in for a truly special experience."

    Nestled in a tranquil, picturesque setting, this hidden gem offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The combination of luxury and nature here is simply unbeatable. The facilities at Southdown Luxury Glamping are second to none. The accommodations was spacious, immaculately clean, and thoughtfully designed to provide maximum comfort. With plush bedding, a cozy wood-burning stove, and a well-equipped kitchenette, it felt like a home away from home—but with a far better view! The attention to detail was evident in every corner, from the tasteful décor to the top-notch amenities that made our stay feel truly luxurious. The private hot tub was an absolute highlight, allowing us to unwind under the stars in complete privacy. The surrounding environment added to the magic. We were completely enveloped by the serene countryside, where the only sounds were the gentle rustling of leaves and the melodic calls of local wildlife. It was impossible not to feel a sense of peace and relaxation, especially when enjoying a morning coffee on the deck. The location is fantastic, offering the best of both worlds—secluded and peaceful yet within easy reach of charming villages and beautiful walking trails. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the local area, but we also loved returning to our little haven at Southdown, where we felt utterly relaxed and rejuvenated. Overall, Southdown Luxury Glamping exceeded all expectations. It’s the perfect choice for anyone looking to disconnect, recharge, and enjoy the tranquillity of nature without compromising on comfort. Highly recommended for couples, or anyone seeking a unique and luxurious glamping experience!

    Wow that’s amazing feedback we love it when our guests have a wonderful time and recommend us to others it’s very much appreciated, thank you. Property Owner

  • "We were amazed!"

    I wanted to surprise my wife for our 10 year wedding anniversary and yes we both were surprised. The setting was beautiful! The accommodation was fantastic! The owners were very friendly, helpful and accommodating. It has lots of supermarkets, a petrol station and pub/restaurant around the area. It is about an hour away from a beach. Where we had a fantastic day out. If we didn't go out we could have a relaxing time in the hottub, play some games (that were provided). Then in the evening light the fire, have a BBQ and relax. We have already recommended to our friends and family and will definitely be booking again. Overall a relaxing, fun and romantic holiday! Thanks for having us. Bonus there was a massive swing for an adult to swing on haha!

    Wow thank you for the wonderful feedback and it was our pleasure. To see your partner having one last swing before you left was something that I will remember for a long time. Hopefully one day you’ll come back to visit us again. Property Owner
