Nordic Glamping in Wiltshire — Handcrafted yurts for a peaceful retreat
Set within an organic wildflower meadow, our off-grid yurts offer space, stillness and a gentle connection to nature
Nordic Glamping invite you to stay in a small number of handcrafted yurts, spaced across a quiet, organic meadow at Botswicky Copse in the stunning countryside of Wiltshire and the North Wessex Natural Landscape. This is a place to slow down properly, where the only sounds are birdsong, wind through the trees and the occasional calls of wildlife. The meadow sits alongside a nature reserve which is home to rare newts, kingfishers, little owls and goldfinches that all form part of the landscape you’ll be sharing during your stay.
Walk through ancient fields, follow well-worn paths across the landscape and notice the small details; wildflowers, old trees and the wildlife that quietly lives here.
Welcome to Botswicky Copse - A slower, quieter way to connect to nature
Nordic yurts set within organic farmland and a protected natural landscape
Our off-grid yurts are built using natural materials including Norwegian oak and English ash, with simple cherry wood furnishings inside.
Everything has been chosen carefully, not for show, but to create a space that feels calm, warm and easy to settle into.
Each yurt is slightly different, but all are designed to give you space to rest, cook, read, and spend time without distraction, with views towards the chalk hills of The Ridgeway and spectacular sunsets to the west.
The site is fully off-grid and sits within Helen Browning’s organic farmland, managed with long-standing sustainable principles.
We are also part of the Greener Camping Club, which supports low-impact stays and environmental projects.
A peaceful off-grid glamping retreat in Wiltshire, within easy reach of London
Botswicky is a 10-acre organic hay meadow, bordered by ancient woodland and protected nature reserves.
There are only a handful of yurts here, each set apart to give a real sense of space and privacy.
On site, you’ll find simple, well-considered comforts — raised naturally insulated flooring, comfortable beds, clean composting loos, enclosed copper showers with hot water and a shared covered kitchen for cooking at your own pace.
Nothing is overdone, yet everything is thoughtfully in place—so you can unwind, disconnect and stay a little longer.
Surrounded by farmland, trees and open space, this is somewhere you can properly switch off — without noise, crowds or distraction.
“We have stayed in many yurts but not one like this: the little woodland and clean small stream made a core memory, the kitchen was lovely and just the right size, and the yurt was a warm inviting space that comforted us in our stay.
Vidar and family were lovely - they collected quail eggs for us and even made soap. Vidar invited us in and showed us around, he came back to check on us and made sure we were warm enough.
Overall, this was an awesome Easter trip. We will recommend this to others and come back soon”
Our Yurts
We design and build our own Nordic yurts
Nordic Glamping is our family business and every yurt on site has been handcrafted by us using traditional steam-bent techniques and carefully sourced natural materials.
This means each structure is not only built to last, but thoughtfully made to suit the landscape it sits within, simple, solid and quietly comfortable.
Because we build the yurts ourselves, we understand every detail, from how they hold warmth, to how light moves through the space during the day.
Things to do nearby…
We are located a very short stroll away from the picture-postcard small village of Bishopstone. A 20 minute walk across fields, meadows, over streams and past a church takes you straight to the heart of the village and Helen Browning’s fabulous award-winning and of course, organic, pub, the Royal Oak.

Helen Browning’s Royal Oak
A gently eccentric English pub and mini-hotel set amid 1500 acres of mostly spectacular organic farmland. Delicious and often outdoor-cooked food sourced from Helen’s organic farm and a very large but secluded garden; a must visit!
Oh, and it’s only 20 minutes walk away from the glamping site
Eastbrook Farm
A pioneering organic farm which has sprouted wonderful offshoots: including the Royal Oak pub, a 12-room inn, wildlife safaris, bird-watching via hides, this very glamping site and so much more!
ProHides - Wildlife Photography Hides and Workshops
ProHides was set up several years ago by a friend of Helen Browning’s Organic farm to give photographers a unique opportunity to photograph the diverse wildlife present. Over a period of approximately three years, ProHides has established itself as a desirable destination for photographers from around the world.
The Uffington White Horse and Wayland’s Smithy
One of the area’s most famous landmarks and also probably one of the most iconic horse icons in the world, the Uffington White Horse sits proudly on White Horse Hill, overlooking the whole of Oxfordshire and surrounding counties below. There are books, myths, legends, art-work and so much history surrounding the horse and the area; the following links are a few places to start:
