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.

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.

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.
Staying here was a wonderful experience. The house and setting could not have been more comfortable and idyllic - all the charm one could expect from a tucked-away Cotswold gem. Appreciated the landscape, the gardens - ducks in the backyard pond, sheep and horses grqzing in the adjacent fields, and the kindness and care from the owners and manager, Rowan. I would not hesitate to recommend or to return!
Geweldige locatie, heerlijk huis maar de zitmeubelen en vooral de banken hebben echt een update nodig. Vullen van de kussens zou al helpen
Such a beautiful house and garden. Very comfortable. A lovely place for friends to stay.
Wunderschönes Cottage mit traumhaftem Garten.
Beautiful cottage with a fantastic garden.
Very peaceful & we were able to totally relax. It would be good if there was some additional lighting for when guest's arrive or return to the property at night. It would also be good if you could advise guest's to be careful when it rains as the paving slabs around the property become very slippery when wet, as of our party slipped over. Regards Stan Borkowski
We are somewhat mystified by this feedback as outside lighting is not something that has been commented on before and there are guiding spotlights that come on automatically. Regarding the paving slabs, they are jet washed every three to four weeks however the weather was atrocious during this guest's stay.
Einen wunderschönen, gelegenes Cottage,, sehr pittoresk, mit sehr höflichen und netten Inhabern. Es entsprach genau meinen Erwartungen und wir hatten eine wunderschöne Familie Zeit.
Translation - A beautiful, situated cottage, very picturesque, with very polite and nice owners. It was exactly what I expected and we had a wonderful family time.
Really gorgeous location, comfy beds, lovely welcome with flowers and food essentials. Everything you might need ( except barbecue!) was provided, including some luxury toiletries and thick heavy towels. Gorgeous. Couldn't really fault the place, except the bathrooms are now in need of a bit of an update. We would recommend!
The Coach House was just fantastic. It had enough space for our family. Location setting was marvelous. The owners lived on the same area in their house and were very helpful and provided a lot of good and useful information. We really felt it like a second home. From the location there was also easy access to so many beautiful places in the Cotswolds. We can highly recommend this place.
We had a wonderful stay at the Coach House. We used it as a base to explore the Cotswolds. The cottage is delightful and is well equipped and located in a lovely rural setting. Highly recommend a stay here.
A fabulous home for the week with everything catered for if in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful and wonderful! We loved it
Beautiful country retreat
A really delightful house, comfortable and beautifully furnished. Maybe a couple of electric heaters, since owner doesn't want central heating setting changed. Also a few more and sharper knives in kitchen. Otherwise really super.
Fantastic location, spacious and very tastefully decorated
Lovely property in an beautiful location, made even better by the lovely weather we had. The only slight issue we had was that we were accompanied by my elderly father. We chose the property partially due to the fact it had a downstairs bedroom, shower and toilet, which we thought would be ideal for my Dad. Unfortunately, the shower had a fairly high step to get in and out of and the toilet was of below average height making it a bit of a struggle to use. To get to the lounge area, also required negotiation of a couple of steps, which fortunately my Dad was just able to manage. Maybe these types of potential issues could be mentioned in the property description forewarning any future clients who may have mobility issues. Having said this, I would not hesitate to book another holiday at the Coach House, but regretfully, not with my Dad.
We had an amazing break, away from city life with our 3 kids. The Coach House is set in the most idyllic village with beautiful scenery. The rooms were so clean and the beds were so comfortable and cosy. In the evenings we sat by the fire and there’s so much to see and do in the Cotswolds. We will definitely return!
Great place. The Coach House conversion was well done with a lovely open concept plan and the house was very well appointed with an exceptional kitchen. We would definitely stay again but there were some problems. The showers were very temperamental and were either scalding or freezing. No one lingered there for sure. For most of our stay the WiFi did not function so the internet and TV were unavailable. While traveling you rely on the internet and we incurred significant costs as we had to use our US phone plan. The owner tried hard to address the WiFi but the problems appeared more central. We appreciated his efforts however. But overall we enjoyed the accommodations, the countryside, the location, the cozy fire , and that very exceptional kitchen!
Adequate M shot concern that plate warmer in cupboard was on and the A’s very hot — potential fire hazard. Unable to contact manager.
EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. IT WAS A LOVELY RELAXING WEEKEND WITH MY 3 DAUGHTERS, WE WOULD STAY THERE AGAIN. LOVELY HAMPER THANK YOU ,
