The Magic Rat

Boasting two mesmerising acres of idyllic Hampshire countryside, The Meadow is an adults-only glamping site that features a selection of lovingly restored retreats to help immerse your souls in nature.

Their latest addition is The Magic Rat, a glorious 23ft Springer narrowboat that once glided languorously along the Kennet and Avon Canal. Now beautifully restored to a recycled industrial theme, there's plenty of fun, quirky comfort to be found on board, along with all the holiday luxuries you'd expect - including its very own small wine cellar.

The property is accessed via a rustic wooden bridge, in true fairytale style. Grab a coffee and gaze at the wildlife and the willow trees from your deck, or head back across the walkway onto your very own outdoor island. Here you'll find a gorgeous, covered gazebo, strewn with soft fairy lights to give your evenings an

irresistible glow.

All that's left to do is light the outdoor fireplace, sit outside at dusk with an evening barbecue and get to know one another all over again, as you toast marshmallows and enjoy a well-deserved glass of wine.
