Woodland life takes on a softer kind of magic in autumn.
At Glottenham, the season arrives quietly.
Ferns bronze at the edges. Leaves soften underfoot. Morning air carries the scent of damp earth, woodsmoke and rain on timber.
It is a beautiful time to move slowly beneath the trees. To notice moss, bark and the first turning leaves. To drink coffee outside with cold hands. To return at dusk for blankets, firelight and stars between the branches.
Autumn here is not about doing more.
It is about feeling more.
Fern. Leaf. Smoke. Soil. Wool. Wood.
Simple things, deeply felt.
For slow autumn stays beneath the trees, book direct through the Glottenham website and let the season bring you back to nature.

A couple of days in ancient woodland can change more than you expect.
At first, it can take a little while to arrive fully. Your mind is still busy. Your hand still reaches for your phone. You are still moving at the pace of everything you have just stepped away from.
Then the woods begin to do what they do best.
Birdsong replaces background noise. The light through the trees becomes something you notice. Food tastes better outside. Evenings stretch out around firelight, and the stars feel brighter because there is less between you and the sky.
After a night or two off-grid at Glottenham, people often find they feel different: quieter, clearer, more rested, more connected. Not because they have done very much, but because they have finally had space to stop.
This is the gift of a slower stay in the woods: fewer distractions, deeper sleep, colder mornings, warmer fires, and the quiet feeling of coming back to yourself.
For a few peaceful days beneath ancient trees, check the latest availability through the Glottenham website and let the woodland do the rest.

By September, the ferns in the woodland begin to tell their own quiet autumn story.
All summer they have been green and full, softening the paths and filling the spaces beneath the trees. Then, almost without you noticing, their edges begin to bronze. Green turns to gold, copper and rust, and the woodland floor takes on a richer, quieter kind of beauty.
In October, the ferns fold more deeply into the season: fronds curling, colours deepening, leaves gathering around them, and the scent of damp earth rising after rain. It is one of those small changes that makes autumn at Glottenham feel so special — not dramatic, but deeply felt if you walk slowly enough to notice.
A walk through the woods at this time of year is full of texture: fern, moss, bark, fallen leaf, wet timber, soft light. The kind of simple detail that asks you to pause for a moment and breathe.
For peaceful autumn stays beneath the trees, check the latest availability through the Glottenham website and come and see what the woodland is doing now.

September and October bring a quieter kind of magic to Glottenham.
The woods begin to turn slowly: green softening into gold, copper and russet, ferns bronzing at the edges, leaves gathering on the paths and the whole farm taking on that softer autumn light.
Look closely and you might spot fungi appearing among the moss and fallen wood, spiders' webs silvered with morning dew, birds moving through the hedgerows, deer at the field edges, and the last dragonflies catching the low sun near the wetter places.
Mornings feel cooler and clearer, made for coffee outside with warm hands around the mug. Evenings draw in gently, calling for blankets, firelight, stargazing and the quiet pleasure of listening as the farm settles for the night.
It is a beautiful time for slow walks, noticing small things and letting autumn arrive at its own pace.
For peaceful September and early October stays close to woodland, meadow and wildlife, check the latest availability through the Glottenham website.

Everything at Glottenham has been made slowly, by hand and with the landscape in mind.
The cabins, yurt, geodome and vintage caravan all carry that feeling: timber, canvas, texture, simple materials and spaces shaped with care rather than polished into something ordinary.
Our newly refurbished vintage caravan is part of that story too: full of character, gently restored and ready for guests who like their stays to feel personal, rooted and a little different.
And then there is Nearly Wild Camping: the simplest, most open-hearted way to stay here. No busy campsite feeling, no hard edges. Just generously spaced pitches across wildlife-rich wetlands and meadows, open skies, birdsong, long grass, torchlight and evenings that feel properly outside.
Nearly Wild Camping is available only until 1 September, while glamping continues until the first weekend in October — including our handcrafted spaces for those who want comfort without losing the feeling of being close to the land.
If you are drawn to stays that feel made, not manufactured — and camping that still feels really wild — check the latest availability through the Glottenham website.

Summer is beginning to soften at the edges here at Glottenham. The light is lower in the evenings, the meadow is quieter, and the first hints of autumn are starting to gather in the woods.
If you have been meaning to spend a night under canvas this year, Nearly Wild Camping is available only until 1 September: a last chance for simple summer evenings, open skies and waking close to nature.
Our glamping season carries on a little longer, until the first weekend in October, when the cabins, yurt and geodome take on that lovely autumn feeling: cooler mornings, woodsmoke, blankets, stargazing and slow walks beneath turning leaves.
And for those who love stays with a little story, our newly refurbished vintage caravan is waiting too: full of character, gently refreshed and ready for peaceful days on the farm as summer gives way to autumn.
Check the latest availability through the Glottenham website and make time for one last slow escape before the season turns.

Last chances for autumn.
The glamping season runs until the first weekend in October, just as the woods begin to turn and the evenings start to draw in. It is one of the most beautiful times to be at Glottenham: ferns bronzing at the edges, leaves softening underfoot, cool mornings, cosy layers and the first real feeling of autumn in the air.

Days are made for slow walks through the woodland, coffee outside with cold hands, watching the light change through the trees and noticing all the small seasonal details that are easy to miss when life is busy. Evenings become perfect for fires, blankets, stargazing and doing very little as the farm settles into quiet.

If you have been meaning to visit this year, this is a gentle reminder that there are only a few weeks of the season left. Autumn stays have their own kind of magic: peaceful, cosy and close to nature.

Check the latest availability through the Glottenham website and make time for one last slow escape before the season ends.

Some guest reviews capture the feeling of Glottenham better than we ever could.
“Gorgeous location that felt genuinely remote. We only stayed for one night but my four year old was able to roam wild without a care in the world. We saw bats at dusk and enjoyed a lovely campfire with marshmallows well in to the evening. I’d recommend this place to everyone I know but probably won’t as I’d like to keep the secret all for us!”
That is exactly the kind of stay we hope people find here: space for children to roam, evenings that stretch quietly around the fire, wildlife appearing as the light fades, and the rare feeling of being tucked away somewhere still a little bit secret.
Glottenham is made for guests who like their holidays peaceful, simple and close to nature — the sort of place where one night can still feel like a proper escape.
