We are absolutely delighted to announce that The Meadows at Polehanger has been crowned Best Boutique Stay in the 2026 Muddy Stilettos Awards for Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.

This marks the fourth time that our luxury glamping cabins have received this award, and we couldn’t be more grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way.

The Muddy Stilettos Awards are among the UK’s most respected lifestyle awards, celebrating outstanding independent businesses across the country.

Each year, thousands of businesses are nominated and voted for by members of the public, making this recognition particularly meaningful because it comes directly from our guests, supporters and local community.

Winning once is an honour. Winning four times is something we never imagined when we first welcomed guests to our handcrafted cabins in the Bedfordshire countryside.

Every vote cast, every recommendation shared with friends and family, and every glowing review has helped us achieve this milestone.

We are incredibly thankful to everyone who took the time to support us during the awards process.

Since opening The Meadows at Polehanger, our vision has been simple: to create a place where guests can relax, connect with nature and enjoy a luxury escape without compromising on comfort.

Nestled amongst meadows, woodland and riverside walks at Polehanger Farm, our bespoke cabins combine thoughtful design, modern comforts and beautiful rural surroundings.

Whether guests are celebrating a special occasion, enjoying a romantic getaway or taking time to unwind, we strive to make every stay a lovely memory.

Over the years, we have continued to invest in the guest experience, from the quality of our accommodation to the maintenance of our natural surroundings and the personal touches that help make a stay at The Meadows at Polehanger really special.

We are proud to fly the flag for Bedfordshire and to showcase everything our county has to offer. Independent tourism businesses play a vital role in supporting the local economy, and we are touched that The Meadows at Polehanger continues to be recognised as one of the region’s leading boutique accommodation providers.

While awards are wonderful to receive, our greatest reward remains welcoming guests and seeing them leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and eager to return.

As we celebrate this fourth Muddy Stilettos Best Boutique Stay title, we remain committed to delivering the exceptional experiences that have brought us to this point.

Thank you once again to everyone who voted, stayed with us, recommended us, and supported us over the years. This award belongs to all of you as much as it does to us.

We look forward to welcoming both new and returning guests to The Meadows at Polehanger very soon.
