"To camp in style, sign yourself – and friends – up to Pennard Orchard’s boutique camping at Glastonbury Festival this summer. Sleep in real beds with real mattresses, white cotton linen, pillows and duvets in 18-ft tipis with room for up to four people. Plus, clean toilets, hot showers and a beauty tent. A ten-minute walk from the festival grounds, Pennard Orchard also has 24-hour security with staff on hand to help. Now that sounds like our idea of camping.”

Glastonbury Festival, today and Sunday
"Don't be fooled by the welly boots and bed hair. An elite group of revellers at Glastonbury will be reading this article from the comfort of their double bed in Pennard Orchard, the festival's latest boutique camp site… sold out within days. Guests have access to hot showers, organic food, a chill-out bar and an electric vintage Austin to take them to a private gate into the festival."Pick of the Week by Anna Tyzack,

"How lovely to retreat to your Heavenly sanctuary after a hot and dusty day at the festival and how delicious to fall asleep with ones face amongst the grasses and wild flowers. For us everything was perfect, delightful, charming and helpful staff, delicious food and cocktails served until ridiculous hours (well done there!) hot showers and hair dryers (that must be a song) and comfy beds away from it all!"

"I just wanted to say a huge, huge thanks from myself and my new fiance for making this years Glasto really amazing. I was really impressed with how friendly everyone was and how pretty much everything had already been thought of. It's so easy for these types of things to become impersonal and stale. Congratulations on an extremely successful first year and count me in for a tipi next year!"
Andrew Hewitt
"Leaving aside a terrific Glastonbury Festival, I must say how much my wife and I enjoyed staying with you and your colleagues at Pennard Orchard. The Tipis were superbly laid out and well equipped and the showers, lavatories etc all worked a treat!
We found everyone at Pennard at all times to be helpful and good humoured and intent on helping us to relax and get the best time out of attending Glasto 2010. Our only regrets were the fact we had to leave early on Sunday and that despite numerous attempts I never looked any better after going into the Beauty tent."

"I wanted to thank you guys for doing such an incredible job with Pennard Orchard. We had an amazing time and in no small part due to our luxurious and super chilled home for the 4 days. All the staff were great and were always on great form and offering to help out in any way they could not to mention the food (particularly the slow roast belly of pork!), which hit the spot every time."

"As a Glastonbury virgin I was somewhat sceptical about feed times but on day one we were introduced to Pennard Orchard, a fantastic big tipi tent surrounded by smaller rentals and food by the Laughing Stock. Well we ate and drank there 3 times away from the hot frantic festival.
Great braised beef with bubble and squeak, roast pork belly and the crucial all day breakfast with my favourite brunch dish eggs benedict"
Mark Hix, Chef
"Thank you for such a beautiful oasis of calm to come back to each night. This year was my 21st Glastonbury and it was definitely the best one yet, and having Pennard as my home certainly contributed to the beautiful time I experienced. I have nothing negative to say. Your staff were all lovely Showers and toilets were immaculately clean, and those wonderful hammocky daybed things in the chill out area were the most comfortable piece of furniture I have ever lain upon!
My friends in the healing field said: "Stay with us next year"
"Thank you, but I'm really happy where I am."
"I hope very much to see you next year."

"It was hands down the best camping experience I have ever had. Even the rain pattering gently on the canvas couldn’t put me off."
