Welcome to Warblers' Meadow
Stay the night at Slimbridge, with our Warblers' Meadow boutique shepherd's huts.
We're excited to announce the opening of our new boutique glamping accommodation, Warblers’ Meadow.
Warblers' Meadow includes five brand-new shepherd’s huts nestled amongst our wetland’s picturesque wildflowers, reeds and shimmering ponds - offering visitors the opportunity to experience a unique staycation and a chance to unwind, switch off and reconnect with nature.
Tucked away in a tranquil corner of WWT Slimbridge, the five well-appointed shepherd’s huts each have their own private pond and mini wetland, offering a truly unique, immersive experience. Each hut is named after the beautiful songbirds that make their home in the meadow, you’ll wake to the sound of birdsong as the sun glistens through the trees while you enjoy your morning coffee on your own private deck.
From cosy hideaways perfect for couples, to generous retreats that can accommodate a family, each shepherd’s hut in Warblers’ Meadow has been thoughtfully-designed with comfortable beds, a convenient kitchenette and private bathroom, ensuring a relaxing glamping experience.
The Reed Warbler hut features a wheelchair-friendly ramp and step-free access, plus a wide doorway for easier entry. While some limited walking is needed inside this hut, it provides a welcoming and comfortable retreat for those with reduced mobility.
With no TVs to distract you from nature’s spectacle right outside your door, a staycation at Warblers’ Meadow is a chance to escape the everyday, truly switch off from technology and immerse yourself in nature.
Listen out for the sweet melody of the warblers’ song or the distinctive call of a cuckoo. Watch dragonflies dart across the shimmering water, while flocks of birds pass overhead on their migratory journeys. As dusk falls, watch as foxes, rabbits and deer move quietly through the meadow, look out for bats swooping through the air and listen for the soft hoot of owls in the distance.
Warblers’ Meadow is a great choice for families with children aged 7+ looking for a unique and memorable staycation this summer. With free entry into the site for the duration of your stay, you’ll be able to soak up even more of our wetlands. Get up close to rare and exotic birds, mammals and amphibians, venture out on a Canoe Safari, explore the Summer Walkway down to the banks of the River Severn, and so much more.
