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.

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.

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.
The property was in wonderful location,even if the access roads were a little narrow🫣. the property itself was furnished/decorated to a very high standard.
Wonderful accommodation in beautiful environment. Everything you need (and might need) was there. Many thanks to our hosts for the first supply, everything tasted extraordinary good
Beautiful barn in a lovely location.Very clean and comfortable. There are 2 steps on the ground floor leading to the kitchen which could be an issue for some people.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments about Rosebank Barn and we are so pleased that you thought it was beautiful, clean and comfortable,
A beautifully well kept barn conversion that provided for all our needs. Very quiet setting but within east reach of the National Trust houses at Bibury
Comfortable and well equipped property. The patio area is particular nice if the weather is good. Locatipn excellent for walks and cycling. Care is needed with the steep steps between the living areas and kitchen. Minor inconvenience that twin beds had not been made as requested, and that house-keeping arrived a day early at the end - but all sorted without any hassles.
Lovely comfortable cottage. Only slight niggle was the Wi-Fi was not good and the lack of a full length mirror. We also experienced a 4 hour power cut during our stay.
This was the second time that we've stayed here, the first being our honeymoon 5 years ago, so the accommodation is a special place for us. It's a wonderful place to stay and have a relaxing break.
Absolutely spotless, comfortable bed, plenty of walks on the doorstep, the best cottage I've rented,
The barn was well equipped and the location was good for the places we visited. It was a shame about all the cobwebs and the bathrooms could have been cleaner.
Lovely cottage set in idyllic countryside on the edge of the village. Well equipped and comfortable accommodation.
Lovely property in a lovely village. Weather was perfect, after days exploring we sat out in the garden. The only negative is the barking from a local kennels
Warm, spacious, comfortable barn with walks from the door and easy to get to Bibury
Amazing property! Perfect for our family weekend away. Lovely and clean!
Lovely and very well equipped barn making for a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday. Would definitely recommend.
Home from home. We have stayed here three times. Love that it has private parking and a garden. It was nice to sit outside to eat. Beds are comfortable. Plenty of hot water and washing machine and tumble dryer reassuring, as we didn't have to pack quite so many clothes. We would stay there again. Only thing lacking was a wall clock. I never knew what time it was!
We stayed here for 3 nights. Second time we have been here. It was my wife’s 40th birthday! This time around we were underwhelmed to be honest. We were missing the basic essentials and had to drive to the nearest supermarket to get them. For the price you pay for goodness sake putting a small shampoo, shower gel and cooking oil it’s not going to hurt your wallet!! Last time we were there all those products were available including fresh local eggs etc That’s a shame as it would have been a 5 star otherwise.
Lovely cottage delightful location. Arrived in the dark looking forward to a cup of tea alas no milk and welcome pack. No local shop black tea and a biscuit for breakfast no way to start a holiday. Complained to Rural Retreats given 50.00 pounds off next booking. No help to us only putting money back into Rural Retreats.
It was our second visit to this lovely rental in a for-us ideal location.
