Pippin is a cosy en-suite Wigwam at Hill Farm & Orchard. As a small and unique family site with only 4 Wigwams it offers a tranquil and peaceful setting for either some alone time, a romantic getaway or a rural family holiday. Pippin comes with its own private hot tub for that added touch of luxury. Your Wigwam and glamping experience is located within the historic orchard on the farm which grows damsons, apples and pears. The farm produces its own apple juice which you can pre-order and have delivered to your Wigwam on arrival. Your glamping experience is further enhanced by the provision of your own bath robes, towels and champagne flutes to create the ultimate relaxing spa environment.

The farm is situated within the Buckinghamshire countryside overlooking the beautiful Chiltern Hills. Located next to the Grand Union Canal, the towpath provides an excellent opportunity for canalside walks, fishing or cycling.

Pippin is pet friendly which means the whole family can come along. The Wigwam can accommodate up to 4 people in 1 double bed and 1 double sofa bed. It is has a spacious open plan layout which extends out to your own private decking, picnic area and hot tub for some alfresco dining and relaxation. To the end the evening grab a jumper or blanket and relax around their fire pit whilst you watch the sun go down after your fun packed day.

There are many local attractions and amenities nearby such as Ascott House & Gardens, Whipsnade Zoo, Woburn Safari Park and Harry Potter World. However, you may simply enjoy the slower pace of life, watching the world go by on the canals whilst taking in the breath-taking views of the Ivinghoe Hills Nature Reserve and the Chiltern escarpment. This waterside location will provide you with the rest and relaxation you deserve.
