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.

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.

Fabulous location, cottage, and lovely hosts.
Sue and Michael give you a warm and friendly welcome to A Groom’s View with a generous hamper and fresh flowers ready to greet you. The flat is clean, comfortable and well equipped with lovely views from all the windows and access to some generous outside space. The location is perfect as everywhere we wanted to be was only a short drive away in different directions on quiet country roads. If you are looking for a peaceful and private retreat then this is the place for you. We would be more than happy to return.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at A Groom's View.. It is certainly a great place and thank you for taking your lovely reccomendation..
A lovely apartment, in an old building, beauitifully converted to provide a high standard of accommodation. Sue's warm welcome is exceptional, and gets things off to a very good start. The hamper she provides is full of delicious local produce. The location is great for exploring the area, and you can walk straight out of the door onto the Mortimer Trail.
Thank you so much for leaving your feedback for our special little property in Herefordshire with its wonderful views.
Beautifully clean and very well appointed. Lovely views, good parking and excellent hamper. Was nice to be met by the owner upon arrival and nothing was too much trouble when we needed to ask something. Fabulous base for places we wanted to go and we would most certainly stay again. In fact I'd quite happily live there!
What a fabulous review and recommendation for A Groom's View. Thank you so much for your lovely comments.
Fantastic. Clean and well equipped. Lovely relaxing break
Fantastic stay at A Groom's View. Sue is a lovely host and greeted me when I arrived. There was a lovely welcome basket too, which was very generous, and fresh flowers from the garden. It is situated in a very tranquil and quiet part of Herefordshire. I was wanting a queit place to unwind and rest, and that's exactly what I got. I had the wood burner on, and made myself at home. There are walks right out of the front door, and the whole area just had good vibes. I'll definitely be back to stay again. Thanks Sue for a lovely stay.
A Groom's View always has great feedback and thank you so much for leaving yours.
A beautifully presented and well-appointed property. The generous welcome hamper was very much appreciated - it was full of local poduce, delicacies and drinks. A Groom's View had everything we could have possibly wanted. We loved cosying up in front of the log burning fire but also exploring the local area.
Another lovely review for our special property A Groom's View. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave your feedback.
Spotlessly clean, well equipped. Comfortable. Hoping to find time to come again soon. Only downside is that I feel check-in is too late and check-out too early.
Very comfortable, well appointed, generous hamper with produce and fresh flowers from owners garden Sue, our host, was very welcoming and helpful.
Wow, what a beautiful apartment. So well appointed and all essential items provided. Fully equipped kitchen, and lovely clean bathroom. Nice big comfy bed and a lovely log burner.
A Groom's View is an excellent place to stay while enjoying all that the location has to offer. The property is beautifully laid out with everything you could need to make your stay comfortable and relaxing. There was a wonderful welcome hamper waiting for us together with two gorgeous bunches of handpicked flowers from the owners gardens. We could not fault this property and would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to stay within easy distance of Leominster, Ludlow, Hay on Wye and other various National Trust properties.
Excellent property, beautiful location and superb host. Best welcome pack
A Groom's View is such a well loved property and thank you so much for leaving your feedback.
This is a beautifully furnished and equipped property in a pleasant rural part of Herefordshire. The level of provisions and stores is exceptional and the owner is extremely helpful and kind. Outside is also lovely with plenty of space to enjoy and some excellent walks straight from the door. The proximity to several outstanding eateries and to a range of pretty villages, gardens, NT properties and footpaths means there is a lot to do and to explore.
Thank you so much for leaving your excellent feedback for A Groom's View.
Immaculate cottage and very friendly, helpful owner
A Groom's View was brilliant. Great location, extremely well equipped. Immaculately clean and the owners were very welcoming and helpful if ever we wanted anything. We enjoyed a very nice stay. Many thanks.
A beautiful, comfortable and well equipped property. Lovely welcome hamper and very friendly and attentive hosts. A wonderful base to explore Herefordshire.
This is a very special place - little flat in the most ''off the beaten track'' location I've ever visited. The Mortimer trail even goes through the back garden! Spent a lovely week going and long walks, visiting nearby towns on both side of the border and some fantastic pubs. The owners could not have been more welcoming and friendly, they really went the extra mile - we will definitely be back!
