Bleasdale is perfectly positioned on the western edge of the Forest of Bowland, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty known for its sweeping views and peaceful charm. Surrounded by open fields, woodlands and rolling hills, this rural glamping site is a haven for walkers, cyclists and families looking to reconnect with nature. Explore nearby nature trails, admire the dramatic Bowland Fells, or simply relax on your private deck with the sounds of birdsong and rustling leaves. The spacious safari tents are thoughtfully equipped with comfortable beds, a wood-burning stove and a private shower room, blending rustic charm with homely comforts. By night, the lack of light pollution allows for truly spectacular stargazing under clear Lancashire skies. Families can enjoy nearby attractions, from Bowland Wild Boar Park to the charming market town of Garstang, while couples will love the peaceful setting and scenic sunsets. Whether you’re toasting marshmallows over the firepit or setting off on an early morning walk, Bleasdale offers a beautiful and serene break from everyday life in the heart of northern England’s countryside.
Sweffling is a peaceful hideaway in the Suffolk countryside, nestled between the Suffolk Coast & Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the winding rivers of inland Suffolk. This off-grid glamping site is part of a small, eco-friendly farm, making it perfect for guests who want to disconnect from daily life and immerse themselves in nature. The safari tents are spacious and comfortable, featuring wood-burning stoves, real beds and en-suite facilities, while solar lighting and natural materials maintain a low environmental footprint. Guests can enjoy the farm’s seasonal produce, relax in the wildflower meadows, or spot local wildlife including deer, owls and hedgehogs. With the heritage coastline just a short drive away, day trips to Aldeburgh, Southwold, or RSPB Minsmere are easy and rewarding. At night, the sky fills with stars, offering one of the best stargazing spots in the region. Sweffling is a serene and sustainable retreat for couples, families and anyone craving a true countryside escape, filled with hiking, exploring nearby market towns and relaxing by the fire.
Located on a working organic farm within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Kittisford Barton offers a perfect mix of rural charm and outdoor adventure. This peaceful Somerset retreat is surrounded by fields, hedgerows and woodland, creating a wildlife haven that’s ideal for families and nature lovers alike. Kids can explore the natural play area, meet farm animals, and enjoy the freedom of wide-open space, while adults will appreciate the tranquillity and stunning views. The safari tents provide all the comforts of home—real beds, a wood-fired stove and a private shower room—while encouraging a simpler, slower pace of life. Guests can stroll along waymarked footpaths, visit nearby Exmoor or the Quantock Hills, or enjoy a day trip to the Somerset coast. In the evenings, gather around the firepit or sit under the stars with a glass of wine in hand. With its mix of comfort, nature and rural experiences, Kittisford Barton is a perfect glamping getaway in the heart of the West Country.
Tucked within the private Exton Park Estate, this Lantern & Larks site offers a peaceful countryside escape surrounded by lakes, parkland and ancient woodland. Just a stone’s throw from the charming village of Exton and a short drive to Rutland Water, it’s an ideal base for exploring the smallest county in England. The setting is rich in wildlife, with deer, birds and butterflies abound, while the mature trees and landscaped grounds create a secluded, relaxing atmosphere. Each spacious tent is comfortably furnished with three bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen and a wood-burning stove, offering a luxurious retreat. Outside, your private deck is perfect for al fresco dining or simply enjoying the sunset. Whether you’re sailing on Rutland Water, exploring historic Stamford, or unwinding by the firepit, Exton Park offers a blend of outdoor adventure and tranquil relaxation. This off-grid glamping experience is ideal for couples, families, or groups looking for a unique countryside break in a truly picturesque part of the East Midlands.
Great cottage , lovely interior , friendly and efficient host
Curlew Cottage is set in a fabulous location to explore all the local attractions. The cottage itself is perfect and has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including a lovely warm hot tub to enjoy at the end of the day. Hosts Mike & Jayne couldn’t be more welcoming and helpful. The alpacas, Tom, **** & Harry, provided much entertainment for our little granddaughter! We all had a fantastic time & wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Curlew Cottage had everything we could ask for. It was spotlessly clean, the beds were very comfortable, all we needed was thoughtfully included. The five star rating is well deserved. Thank you both for everything.
Lovely cottage, dog was welcomed. Comfy beds, beautiful soft furnishings. A real country retreat
Great place and hosts. Thank you
Great cottage. Beautiful decor, clean, welcoming, fantastic setting and the beds are really comfy. My grandson particularly liked the Alpacas and of course getting in the hot tub, which is a great bonus after a day out. We had a lovely time and hope to return one day.
The cottage was lovely and had a very homely feel. The owners were very welcoming and took time to show us around the property and give good local knowledge. It was a great place to stay.
Fantastic location and very welcoming.
A beautiful well equipped cottage in lovely grounds.
Lovely stay in a great cottage. Couldn't fault it!
We had an amazing stay everything was perfect, the cottage was clean and well kept. We had planned to explore the local area but as the cottage was so great we decided to just stay in all weekend and relax. We loved the alpaca's they were a great surprise. Thanks again

Cottage lovely
Beautiful cottage and location, everything has been thought of. The welcome hamper is one of the best we have had. We will definatly be visiting again. Throughly enjoyed our stay.
Curlew cottage was a wonderful holiday cottage with the added benefit of a hot tub. The house was very comfortable and the owners were most welcoming. There are so few such lovely properties to rent in that part of Cheshire and we were not disapointed by Curlew Cottage. We would very much like to return.
