Had my hen do here and it was amazing! Great facilities, yurts have everything you need. Kitchen is well equipped. Hot tub in a beautiful setting in the wood. Ewan was on hand to help with the hot tub and pizza oven - nothing was too much trouble. A brilliant location for a big group event and very well run! The walk suggestion up to The Swan pub was perfect. 5 stars!!

Chalkney Water Meadows was the perfect venue for our festival wedding! From the lakeside ceremony to the teepee party, everything was as we wanted. We had the freedom to decorate and to make the venue our own for the wedding. Nat and Becky made all the arrangements as easy as possible and we have to give a special round of applause to the bar staff who helped make it a truly incredible weekend! 10/10 would do it again 😍

Nice venue, kitchen facilities ok, hot water in kitchen broken so had to boil water or get from the(very nice) toilet/shower block. Birds very noisy around dawn if you're used to town life. Knocked off a star for the kitchen water and that someone was meant to light the pizza oven about 6. Did the fire pit but not the wood burning boven, so we had to do it ourselves later so delayed food to the point where some people had to go before eating

Totally recommend, so much fun. Well run and great facilities. My kids (twins 4) loved this, campfire, marshmallows and a pizza oven! Full kitchen facilities, showers, bedding and towels provided, just bring alcohol and food!

Absolutely incredible! Such a special place. From the moment we sent our initial enquiry Becky and the team were so helpful and welcoming and helped us book any activities and excursions. We arrived and was greeted by Euan who helped get us set up and settled and showed us around. - (he even put our food shop away as we had been stuck in traffic when it arrived) The venue itself is stunning and so magical. Loads of different style accommodation to suit everyones tastes and needs. The kitchen was fully equipped and in really great condition with plenty of crockery, storage and fridges. Same for the toilet blocks which was far superior than our expectation. 10 of us had hot showers every day and plenty of water etc. The marquee was perfect to dine in for when it got cooler and we enjoyed the firepit and log burning hot tub on both nights. Becky sent us details for a lovely field walk to a local pub which was greatly appreciated and above and beyond what we thought we would be getting. Felt like we had VIP concierge throughout our stay. Thank you so much to the entire team for making our hen weekend so perfect. Already trying to book in again and wish you all the best for a busy season ahead x

Absolutely stunning. Loved the cabin and location. Sat in the hot tub as soon as I woke up, watched the deers in the woods, the swans and ducks on the lake. The accommodation is perfect, modern and so natural and at one with nature. Couldn't fault it, we would definitely visit again. Thank you

We hosted our wedding at Chalkney Water Meadows on Saturday 26th June 2021 and it truly was a dream. It was all we could of wished for and more. After a very stressful time with another venue and our wedding being cancelled due to covid-19 we found ourselves looking for another venue. Right from the get go Nat showed nothing but empathy to our situation, professionalism, optimism and a calm approach going forward. The lead up to the day was a worry due to the constant changes to restrictions from the government. But in true Nat style he kept us calm throughout; checking in with us, asking us what we wanted to do and never added additional stress, always elevated it where possible. He was amazing to work with alongside his great team who showed perfect communication. The venue itself is absolutely stunning! When we viewed the venue we booked it on a vision and seeing it all come together on our wedding day was so special. The lake is very picturesque as well as the beautiful meadow it is set in. I am a big believer in things happening for a reason and we are truly grateful we ended up having our wedding at CWM. A day us and our guests will never forget! The venue offers a blank canvas which was just right for us because we were able to personalise it and incorporate our own themes into our day. We even hired an ice cream van to surprise our guests with. The options are endless... Furthermore, the venue welcomes couples and their bridal/grooms party to arrive from the Friday to set up. This meant we were able to set up ahead of time and settle at the venue the day before which all added to the memories of our wedding weekend. In addition to the venue itself the grounds offer two ideal lodges surrounded by beautiful scenery. Which is a stone throw away from the main venue. This was perfect for myself and my bridal party to get ready in the night before the wedding and the morning of at the Water Lily Lodge. We shared many laughs in the hot tub together. The MUA and hairstylist were both able to work their magic in this generous space. This lodge now holds such special memories for us and the photographer's photos are just so stunning. We even had regular visits from the 2 beautiful swans who have adopted the lake as their home, which just added to the whole experience. As well as adhoc visits from herons flying in. Then on the eve of our wedding myself and my husband stayed in the Kingfisher Lodge which is ideal for couples. Again it is just a stone throw away and it is situated in a beautiful setting which over looks the lake too. The decor inside is modern but yet compliments the venue itself. Another tick factor for us was the accommodation options they offer for the guests. A few options on site are; hiring a bell tent for the night, pitching a tent or a patch for a motorhome. This was ideal for our guests as they could walk back to their chosen accommodation at the end of the night. Feedback from our guests said how it was a great experience! All our guests have repeatedly told us what a beautiful, wonderful venue it was and for some it was the BEST wedding they have ever attended! CWM have set the bar high for future weddings for us all and hearing feedback like this from our guests just echoes how myself and my husband feel about the venue. Due to the past 15 months being a very difficult time for us all due to Covid-19. Our wedding gave us all something to look forward to and the majority of our guests turned it into a perfect excuse for a weekend away. For the majority it was the wedding we all needed and was waiting for. It was perfect timing! We honestly could not of wished for a better venue to host our wedding at and for better owners to work with. I have no doubt that their caring humble attitude will continue to make many more couples as happy as they have made us. Thank you so much Nat, Becky, Archie and the rest of the team for an unforgettable wedding weekend at your venue. What a stunning hidden gem it is! Love from Mr and Mrs Robinson x

We had a brilliant weekend at Teybrook Orchard with a group of friends. We camp together every year and this was by far the best site we have stayed at. The facilities were excellent and all the accommodation was clean and comfortable The site offered shady spots and plenty of room for football, cricket and rounders.

Had such an amazing weekend at Chalkney Water Meadows. Attended for a wedding. Fantastic venue, everything you needed on site. Beautiful location. The beds were incredible!

S. C.

Lovely, small site. Toilet and shower facilities were excellent. Clean and modern. Tents were clean and spacious. I slept in a proper bed at 7 months pregnant in September and was very comfortable and warm enough. Loved the communal space too. Would recommend and definitely visit again.

We stayed in the Musafa Yurt for two nights earlier this week. The Yurt itself was amazing, went beyond our expectations. The grounds and orchard are lovely, the kitchen was well equipped and the toilets and showers were great. There wasn’t really anything for our young kids to do, I know it’s a camping trip and we have to make our own fun but it was literally a field with a tent housing a ping pong table and a rusty old football table. A climbing frame or play area would’ve have really made a huge difference. The surrounding forest doesn’t really have any walkways or paths and is covered in quite high stinging nettles so our tree climbing kids were reluctant to explore. The other negative was the placement of our Yurt, it was quite far away from the other yurts and the facilities so it was hard to let the children play with the other families and still be able to see them. We felt it would’ve made sense to have the Yurts all in a big circle around the campfire as the kids made friends and wanted to socialise with them. The big negative I have to mention, however, is on our first night, there was a very large Hen party staying in a number of the tents. When we arrived, it felt as though we were gatecrashing, there was alcohol and old food everywhere. The girls were quite drunk (chatted to a few of them in the kitchen although I’m sure they won’t remember!) and were up playing music until the small hours. Not trying to be a spoil sport but it wasn’t ideal when you have a 2 year old trying to sleep a few metres away. I would suggest that large, all adult groups like this, be made to hire out the camp for sole use and not share with families. Or at least let the families know beforehand so they can decide if they want to share with such a group. Oh and we hired the hot tub, the kids got in during the afternoon, us adults planned to use it in the evening once the kids were asleep but someone had kindly stolen the logs for it so we didn’t end up using it as it was freezing cold by that point! We would go back but do things a bit differently now we know what we know.

Gorgeous log cabin with lots of space and lovely facilities. We emailed and got a very quick response about availability. Check in was easy and the house was beautifully presented. Spent a few days relaxing and enjoying the hot tub. Bbq on the decking and enjoying the view

Just returned from a weekend celebrating my 50th birthday. We had the whole site. And it was totally amazing. Very well equipped. Clean and the beds were so comfortable. Everyone was so happy with the location and what the site had to offer. Cant thank you all enough. Really made all of our planning for this event worth while xx Lesley and 25 others xx

We had the perfect festival themed wedding here on Saturday 16th July & we wanted to say a huge thank you to Nat and Archie for everything they did for us.! Nothing was too much trouble and it truly was the best day of our lives! The venue is uniquely awesome, the browning bros are extremely friendly, approachable & very helpful... I would recommend this venue to any couples who want a superb wedding like no other!

Stayed in the Kingfishers Nest for 2 nights, absolute bliss. Cabin was immaculate, cosy, super comfortable and a brilliant way to escape!

Great relaxed place... excellent value for money and ample facilities.

What an absolutely beautiful site and run in such a friendly and efficient way by Nat and Archie. The glamping site is so well set out, a kitchen, loos, showers and the most peaceful location, right down to the sheep grazing nearby. It's the perfect place for a relaxed weekend, ideal for all ages.
