Boutique bell tents and shepherd's huts hidden in wildflower meadows — with a wood-fired sauna, cold plunge and copper baths, just an hour from London.
Tucked into the quiet countryside of north Hertfordshire, Deerfield Retreat is a place to slow right down. Wake to birdsong and dew on the meadow, wander Roman roads and bridleways, and end the day beneath a sky thick with stars. Considered, pared-back and calm — it's glamping, grown up.
Our StoryNo noise, no neighbours — just you and the open meadow.
Barrel sauna, cold plunge and steaming copper baths.
Proper beds dressed in soft, laundered linen.
Muddy boots and four-legged friends always welcome.
Long, slow evenings around an open flame.
Far from city light — made for stargazing.
Trails, bridleways and Roman roads from the door.
Hampers and farm shops brimming with Hertfordshire produce.
Our tents and huts are furnished for comfort and finished with care — soft linen, warm textiles and a hamper of local treats. Whether you come as a couple, a family or a gathering of friends, you'll find space to be together, and space to be still.
View the Stays
Lotus bell tents dressed with real beds, rugs and a hamper — canvas romance in the wildflower meadow.
Snug, insulated huts with proper beds, log burners and private decks — a copper bath at one, a wood-fired hot tub at the other.
Take over the entire site for a celebration, gathering or wellness weekend — the meadow, the spa, all yours.
At the heart of Deerfield is our wood-fired wellness circuit. Warm your bones in the cedar barrel sauna, brace in the cold plunge, then sink into a steaming copper bath as the meadow glows gold around you.
