It is an adults only luxury experience to be had here when you come glamping at Bradley Hall Rural Escapes in the seriously beautiful Cheshire countryside. This 106 acre working farm offers peace, quiet and stunning views, and you can be sure of a relaxing stay, with the welcoming owners - Anthony and Jane - looking after you very well indeed.

If you have your own motorhome or caravan, Bradley Hall has a small touring park made up of five pitches on a pretty, well mown field but in 2018, they launched their five beautifully appointed glamping pods, situated out on the farmland with stunning views across to Malpas and the surrounding rolling countryside of Cheshire. The glamping pods- all named after wildflowers paying homage to the meadow they are in - have ensuite facilities and are heated, which means you can come and stay in the winter months and be just as cosy! Each pod contains a double bed (linen and towels all included which is a huge bonus), a small kitchenette with all the essentials and a TV. The lovely hosts also add in a few very nice touches with a welcome pack. Outdoors, each has a private patio area with table, chairs and a barbeque for al fresco dining on the warmer evenings. Good to note that Meadowsweet pod is wheelchair friendly and therefore suitable for guests with more limited mobility. An extra nice touch; there is car parking available for each pod, but these are set slightly away from the wildflower meadow, meaning no unwelcome noises or fumes.

Not content with herding their cattle and running a campsite and glamping pods, Anthony and Jane also coordinate a range of arts and crafts creative workshops over the summer months which take place in the dairy barn. Non-glampers are also welcome, but groups are limited to small numbers so you can be sure of a very personal experience. You are warmly encouraged to have a go at something new, or, if you’re a seasoned crafter, enjoy some relaxing time with like-minded people in a gorgeous location! The courses are all run by local artist and designer Jo who has 30 years of experience, so you know you are in good hands here. The peaceful surroundings certainly inspire the old creative juices to get flowing!

Being rural doesn’t mean that there aren't lots of things to do and places to explore while you are staying here. The picturesque village of Malpas is just a couple of miles away, and here you can wander around the medieval streets and visit the original motte and bailey castle. And if history is your thing then you are spoilt for choice, with several historic houses; Beeston Castle, Cholmondeley Castle gardens and Chirk Castle to name a few - all within reach. For the more adventurous, how about a tandem skydive at Tilstock Airfield or some high ropes action at GoApe in the gorgeous Delamere Forest! There is loads to see and do in this area of Cheshire so make sure you leave enough time to explore everything. Bradley Hall Rural Escapes is in a fantastic part of the county, and to retreat back to your pod at the end of the day makes for a wonderfully relaxing holiday. Guests rave about the welcoming hosts, exceptionally clean glamping pods and lovely atmosphere, and it is easy to see why people come back time and again. A great glamping spot in the Cheshire countryside.
