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.
A spectacular property in a spectacular location. Sara & Dave have finished the property to a very high standard & thought of everything & more, even down to the high end toiletries & home made treats in the welcome hamper. The garden is a true oasis & beautifully manicured. Lots of places to relax & enjoy the views & birdsong. The pizza oven is a great addition & we really enjoyed the homemade pizza kit provided by Sara. Sara & Dave made us very welcome & were around to provide help & local knowledge. We have been using Rural Retreats for years & this is one of the best property we have stayed at. Thank you Sara & Dave
Absolutely beautiful house and garden. Superbly equipped and furnished. Thank you.
Beautiful location and a such lovely character property. A very high standard of furnishings and cleanliness throughout. Well equipped kitchen with even a tea set and cake stand perfect for homemade afternoon tea. :) The welcome pack is one of the best we have ever had. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend.
Wonderful cottage. Very well equipped, warm and comfy and one of the best beds we've slept in.
Stone House always has great feedback and thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave yours.
This was a luxury home away from home. Every detail was thought of by our hosts. On our arrival the house was well lit and warm. The beds were excellent, the log stove was efficient in the open loung/diner/kitchen. The quality and detail of the furnishings and fittings were beautiful. The welcome pack included everything for a healthy breakfast and tea and homemade cake for our stay. We would stay here again.
Another lovely review for Stone House. Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave your feedback.
The accommodation was beautifully presented, extremely well equipped, comfortable with plenty of outdoor space.
The photos show a nice holiday house, the reality is Stone House is bigger and more picturesque than the photos show. The welcome hamper was amazing, and the owners who live close by couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome and ensure we had a wonderful holiday. The furnishings are a perfect mix of classic & modern and the kitchen was well stocked. Exceeded expectations.
Stone House is a fabulous property and we are so glad that it exceeded your expectations. Thank you so much for leaving your review.
Picture perfect cottage that turned out to be even better than the photos! One of the best holiday cottages we have stayed in over the last 40 years. Beautiful, comfortable and better stocked with kitchen and dining equipment than any AirBnB would ever be. Plus lovely gardens and a great pizza oven.
We had a great week at Stone House. It is a fantastic house which is very well appointed and we had a lovely goodie hamper upon arrival. It is set in a lovely valley with a large, attractive garden with lovely views of the surrounding countryside. Our dog loved zooming round the garden and enjoyed the doggy shower area for getting clean after muddy walks. The house is in a good location for exploring Herefordshire and there are lots of National Trust properties and other things to see and do nearby. The owners live next door and are very friendly and on hand in case anything arises. We would thoroughly recommend this rural retreat.
This is a beautiful house only outstripped by oustanding hospitality. Sara and David really consider every possible need of their guests. The house was warm and inviting. We were there for Christmas and it was decorated very tastfully throughout. The welcome hamper was extremely generous, mince pies, Christmas pudding, local cider, cheese and so much more. We had taken our border collie with us and there were even biscuits in the cupboard for her along with a heated dog shower and towels. The area is really worth visiting and we will be back at a less hectic time than Christmas to enjoy the nearby arboreta and enjoyable walks. Thank you.
This was Rural Retreats at its very best. Superb cottage. Best kitted out cottage we have stayed in. Super comfy beds too. Beautiful location and garden. Dark sky with a wonderful view of the Milky Way on a clear night. Owners clearly put a huge amount of care in to ensure every need of both 2 and 4 legged guests were met. A true gem.
We had an amazing time at this heavenly little cottage while visiting friends who live nearby. It's in a peaceful countryside location with breathtaking scenery, which we enjoyed from the garden sun loungers. Happily, the weather was on our side that week. The interior is comfortable and beautiful, with lots of charming details. The house is well stocked with kitchen equipment and other necessities. It was a real treat to be given the welcome hamper stuffed with goodies, including some local produce. We got a very warm welcome from owners when they brought over our pizza packs. The pizza oven was brilliant fun, especially enjoyed by our teenagers. There is lots to see and do nearby. We went quad trekking at the excellent Oaker Wood activity centre. On another day we went for mini golf and burgers at The Grove. We enjoyed the delights of Ludlow and Hereford, including the market, castle, cathedral/mappa mundi and the cafes. The climb up to the top of Titterstone Clee hill was steep but short and well worth it for the spectacular views.
A little piece of PARADISE. We have had a wonderful week here at STONE HOUSE. We have been so impressed with every aspect of this Rural Retreat. The attention to detail is impeccable, from the beautiful carpentry to the generous welcome hamper. Sara and David have been the most superb hosts, nothing is much to much trouble and their warm welcoming nature made our stay extra special. Our two young children have had the time of their lives in this truly beautiful place. We will certainly be back. Thank You!
What a lovely cottage, beautifully extended and decorated. There was a wonderful welcome pack awaiting us with fresh crusty bread, homemade jam and chutney, free range eggs and more. The cottage had everything we needed and we would definitely recommend it to others.
