Nordic Glamping - Handcrafted Yurts in Wiltshire
An off-grid glamping retreat in the Wiltshire countryside. No crowded pitches, just four uniquely designed yurts spread across 10 acres of woodland and meadow
Nestled beneath the historic Ridgeway National Trail, our secluded yurts sit in a peaceful organic hay meadow, with ancient woodland and a nature reserve. Just a short journey from Swindon, yet a world away in total tranquillity.
Beautifully crafted Yurts and Gentle Retreats
Nordic Glamping invite you to stay in a small number of our handcrafted off-grid yurts, spaced across a quiet, organic meadow at Botswicky Copse in the stunning countryside of Wiltshire and the North Wessex Downs 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 deer and foxes. Botswicky is also a nature reserve home to rare newts in the Spring, kingfishers, barn owls, butterflies and Summer swifts and swallows that all form part of the experience you’ll be sharing during your stay.
Welcome to Botswicky - A slower, quieter way to connect to nature and the countryside
The meadow at Botswicky is naturally enclosed by ancient hedgerows and trees - ideal for little explorers
Our handcrafted, off-grid yurts are built using natural materials including Norwegian oak and English ash, some with cherry wood furnishings inside.
Everything has been chosen and designed carefully to create a space that feels calm and aligned to nature.
Each yurt is slightly different but all provide you with space to rest, unwind and spend time without distraction, with views towards the chalk hills of The Ridgeway to the south 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 £12 Greener Camping Club membership is required for your first booking and remains valid for the season across participating sites.
A peaceful off-grid glamping retreat in Wiltshire, close to the Cotswolds and within easy reach of London, Bristol and Oxford.
Botswicky Copse is located in the North Wessex Downs, an area is known for its open chalk landscapes, pretty downland villages and far-reaching countryside views.
Peaceful and secluded, yet well placed for exploring local attractions, Botswicky offers a quiet yurt stay accessible to the Cotswolds and the cities of Bath and Oxford. The historic market towns of Marlborough, Wantage and Faringdon are also only a short drive away, making it a calm base for those looking to slow down while still having plenty to discover nearby.
The site offers a restful stop for walkers, cyclists and those exploring the ancient landscape locally, including the Uffington White Horse and Wayland’s Smithy.
We only have four yurts at Botswicky, each set well apart to give guests a real sense of space, privacy and seclusion. There are no traditional pitches and cars stay out of the meadow, leaving the land open for little explorers and guests to find a quiet corner to sip a coffee, read a book or simply spend time relaxing in nature.
On site, you’ll find well designed comforts, all handcrafted by ourselves - raised, naturally insulated flooring, comfortable beds, clean composting loos, enclosed copper showers with hot water and a shared covered kitchen for cooking in the late afternoon sun.
Surrounded by open organic farmland, this is a peaceful off-grid escape where you can properly switch off — away from noise, crowds and distraction and closer to nature at your own pace.

Our Handcrafted Yurts
We design and build our own Nordic yurts
Nordic Glamping is a family business and every yurt at Botswicky has been handcrafted by Vidar using traditional steam-bent techniques and carefully sourced materials.
Each yurt is designed to be strong, long lasting, comfortable and with minimal environmental impact. Built with care and intention, they are part of what makes a stay here feel so grounded and connected to the surrounding countryside and nature.
Every structure at Botswicky holds its own story. When you stay with us, you become part of that story too.
