🌿 A little update from the meadows…

We’ve been a little quiet on here lately, but for the best reason — peak season is in full swing, and we’ve been busy making sure our summer guests enjoy the perfect glamping getaway. We’re so grateful to be fully booked with back-to-back staycations all summer long! 🏕️✨

Although summer is flying by, we’re already looking ahead to September — one of our favourite months here at Swallowfields. The Malvern Hills become a little quieter, the mornings turn crisp, and the sunsets are simply beautiful.

We now have limited availability for September before our season comes to a close. If you missed out on a summer stay, this is the perfect time to enjoy cosy season and a slow-paced escape in nature. 🪵🍂

What a spectacular weekend at the Broadway Car Show 2026! 🏎️✨

We had a wonderful day admiring some truly fabulous sports cars and soaking up the fantastic atmosphere. The streets of Broadway were buzzing, and the weather couldn’t have been more perfect for car enthusiasts and families alike! ☀️🇬🇧

If you missed it this year, don’t worry — this fantastic event only takes place every two years, so be sure to pop a note in your diary for 2028! 🗓️

After a busy day exploring the best of the Cotswolds and the Malvern Hills, there’s nothing better than returning to the peace and luxury of Swallowfields Retreat to unwind. 🌿

☀️ Looking for the perfect summer day trip from Swallowfields? 🌿

Just a beautiful drive from our retreat lies Berrington Hall, a stunning National Trust gem that makes for an enjoyable day out. We highly recommend packing a basket and heading over to explore.

Here is a glimpse of what makes it so special:

🧺Picnics by the lake: Find a shady spot on the grass, unpack your treats, and enjoy the tranquil, glittering water views.

🌸Stunning summer gardens: Stroll through the beautifully restored walled gardens, bursting with seasonal colour and fragrance.

🌿Historic grandeur: Explore the magnificent neo-classical mansion and its sweeping parkland designed by 'Capability' Brown.

🐮Make new friends: You might even get up close and personal with the local farm wildlife—like this incredibly friendly little calf!

It’s a lovely way to slow down, soak up the sunshine, and experience the very best of our local heritage.

📍 Location: Near Leominster, Herefordshire (HR6 0DW)

☀️ Bringing a taste of the African savannah to the heart of the Malvern Hills.

Watching the sun beat down on our wildflower meadow, the golden, sun-baked grass looks beautifully reminiscent of an African safari. 🌾 Our premium safari lodges are in their absolute element in this weather, blending beautifully into the landscape with the backdrop of the Malvern Hills.

While we are completely full for the summer season, we couldn't resist sharing a little look at why these canvas lodges are so magical during these warm summer months:

⛺️Cool canvas breezes: High ceilings and roll-up windows allow the fresh country air to flow naturally, mimicking the open-air design of traditional savannah Safari Tents.

⛺️The ultimate veranda life: Massive, covered timber decks provide a blissful, shaded sanctuary to escape the midday heat with a cold drink.

⛺️Sunset hot tub soaks: Our electric 6-seater hydrotherapy hot tubs offer the perfect way to unwind as the balmy, golden-hour evenings roll in.

⛺️True open-plan nature: With the front walls rolled fully open, the boundary between luxury boutique comfort and the wild, golden meadow completely melts away.

We love watching our guests slow down and experience this incredible safari-style summer right here in Worcestershire 🥂

To everyone joining us over the coming weeks—we cannot wait to welcome you to our slice of paradise!

Bring your four-legged friend for a stay at our luxury glampsite, designed with dog-friendly escapes in mind 🐾

With large secure gardens, shaded decks for snoozing, and complimentary pet packs including a bed, towel, blanket, bowls and a treat, we’ve thought of all the little details to make dogs feel just as welcome as their owners. There’s even a dog spa station for their own pamper session or simply a cool bath after sunny walks through the meadows, plus plenty of walking routes from your doorstep and nearby dog-friendly pubs and attractions to enjoy together.
