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.
It was very clean, comfortable and situated in a perfect location. so peaceful too , we all slept really well on very comfortable beds
The cottage was immaculate. Spotlessly clean and everything you needed was there. Very helpful owners and first class hamper on arrival, the best we have ever had. Lovely area on the common and peaceful.
A delightfully decorated, comfortable home with a patio that really extended the home itself. Delighted to find that generously supplied hamper; very thoughtful.
A comfortable and well equipped cottage. It was nice to get such a great welcome hamper, something that is missing from many other cottages now. If you need to use the upstairs bedroom, the sloping ceiling becomes a significant obstacle.
The cottage was lovely, in a very quiet area. The pictures showed the place perfectly, and it was exactly as described. The welcome hamper was amazing, such a lovely touch and really appreciated. Loads to do in the area.
Cottage was beautifully presented and well equipped., warm and cosy. Very generous welcome hamper and the hosts were friendly and helpful. The top bedroom does have restricted headroom but they have made the best possible use of the space and we were very comfortable there.
The cottage was lovely and a good match to all our requirements of a holiday retreat. If weather any colder would have been asking for thicker duvets. The hamper was excellent.
Schöne Location, wunderbar ruhig, schöne Umgebung
Winacres Cottage is very comfortable, situated in a quiet area set back from the road. The beds are comfortable, the two bathrooms are large and modern, as is the kitchen. There is a spacious outdoor patio in the back. Our hosts could not have been more gracious and accommodating. They provided many helpful tips for places to visit. This is an excellent value and we would return on a future trip without hesitation.
Winacres was a very relaxing place to stay. All very clean, well maintained and comfortable. Location was good with lovely walks and placex to explore nearby. The owner was very helpful, putting lights on for us as we were late arriving and providing a lively welcome hamper with local produce. We will definitely return.
Lovely cottage in a beautiful location
The cottage, the hosts, Laura and Mark and wider family were all excellent. The area has so much to offer. Book your stay and enjoy a wonderful break in this lovely cottage. Really well equipped and well presented. Thank you!
Winacres is a lovely cottage, comfortable, beautifully presented and well thought out. The location is great for visiting many parts of the Cotswolds. The welcome pack has to be one of the best we have experienced with lots of lovely local produce. The owners made us feel very welcome. We had a lovely stay and hope to return.
Winacres is a really lovely property. Beautifully presented, well equipped and spotlessly clean. Lovely crisp, clean bedding and towels etc and some really nice extra touches with quality toiletries and a welcome hamper with really excellent produce in it. Large doors from the living room open onto a pretty. private patio area and small garden for sitting out in good weather. The owners are next door - they are extremely welcoming, friendly and informative, but not at all intrusive. The cottage is in a really good location - right next to Minchinhampton Common with lovely walks on the doorstep. 'Minch' is very walkable in 10/15 mins, though as some it is on the road, probably not at night time. There are a couple of cafes/restaurants we would recommend there - The Crown and The Kitchen. Nailsworth (5 mins by car) has a bigger selection of shops/eateries. Easy striking distance to some other lovely Cotswolds viallages and towns to explore - Tetbury, Cirencester, Burford. We would highly recommend Winacres - beautiful cottage, with a warm and welcoming feel, in a great location.
