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.
Lovely house. Missing some bits and pieces. Very little tourist information
Amazing holiday property - beautiful, spacious and clean. We went as a group of 8 adult, a toddler and a dog and had more than enough room for all of us. We really enjoyed the welcome hamper, firewood, toiletries and other thoughtful touches when we got there. Located a short drive to lots of lovely places to walk, we all wish that we had stayed longer and are hoping to be able to book again soon
The cottage was lovely clean and exactly like the pictures. Ben the property manager was so helpful, it was a surprise birthday and he arranged balloons for when we arrived. Also the travel cot was missing and he came straight round and sorted it!
The property was absolutely beautiful! Large, comfortable, well-appointed, it was the perfect getaway for 2 families to spend some quality time together just before Christmas. The trees and decorations were a wonderful touch and the hamper and goods provided some of the best I’ve seen. We will 100% be returning, just need to figure out when
Absolutely beautiful property very remote location but perfect for an anniversary celebration weekend. Welcome pack was amazing
Very spacious accommodation situated on one level. Comfortable throughout. One bedroom had no wardrobe so difficult for unpacking! Two beds slightly small - really okay for one person but a bit tight for 2. Otherwise, good bathrooms which were all ensuite which was a bonus. Nice outside garden area surrounding the property. Excellent welcome pack which was very generous. We all enjoyed our stay (7 of us in total) and one small dog!
High spec accommodation, well laid out within a lovely garden. Kitchen was well equipped, but could do with providing some pint glasses. Ben was on hand to top up the dishwasher with salt and rinse aid. A great place to stay with friends as all bedrooms have en-suites.
The welcome hamper was much appreciated. Very comfortable and mostly well appointed house with pretty garden. It was a pity that there was no wardrobe in bedroom 4. Kitchen was well equipped but no kitchen scissors or oven gloves. A few more tea towels would have been helpful. An ideal property to share with friends for a week.
Beautiful house in lovely location with very comfortable rooms and superb beds! Thanks!
A very spacious and well appointed holiday retreat but would benefit from some TLC. The grounds need some work and there are bits and pieces of internal maintenance needed (door locks sticking, loose cleats for blinds cords, outside door handles loose, flaking varnish / paint on outside window frames). Also, the welcome basket was missing many items - no butter, eggs, cereal, cheese, wine, fruit. It suited our purposes well but needs more attention to detail. We have stayed at a lot of Rural Retreat properties over many years as we felt they had a truly premium feel that was very consistent - I now feel that this 'gold' standard has slipped. The old Foundry was an improvement on our last Rural Retreat stay (which was the worst ever) but still not quite up to the standard we have come to expect. I'm not sure if the quality control is as rigorous as it needs to be.
Amazing hamper, fantastic location, property exactly as described, which was fantastic!
Absolutely fantastic place !! lots of room for 8 people and 2 dogs!! Big enclosed front and back gardens to enjoy. Spacious rooms throughout and the welcome hamper is a lovely touch. Plenty of places to visit nearby. Would most definitely recommend.
We had a wonderful Christmas stay with family. The Old Foundry is extremely spacious, but very cosy. It felt so welcoming when we arrived, lit with several Christmas trees and festive garlands. The hamper was the best we've ever received from Rural Retreats. The grand piano in the sitting room made the whole experience even more special, especially having a professional pianist with us. A most memorable Christmas.
Beautiful property, perfect for a group holiday with 8 adults. Plenty of space and thoughtfully laid out. A few more wine glasses (only 7 in a property of 8) would be useful. Wonderful secure garden safe for our dog to run around.
Lovely property, clean & well appointed. Welcome hamper was very generous. Garden was beautiful.
Had a weeks stay here with family. It is a lovely house which is comfortable and mostly well equipped. I appreciate that because of covid there has to be a few changes to what supplies may be in a property but no salt, pepper, oil, clingfilm or foil was a bit disappointing. The website claims 2 pubs in the area, one of which is closed and the other is 1.8 miles from the house not 1 mile as stated. If you are looking for a spacious property off the beaten track then this is for you!
Excellent, comfortable accommodation
Place is bigger than it looks in photos, absolutely amazing! I would definitely recommend this property to all my friends and family!
Comfortable house with all your needs supplied . We felt very relaxed there.

As all restrictions have been lifted across the United Kingdom, you are no longer legally required to self-isolate upon a positive Covid-19 result. You won’t be asked to take daily tests or isolate following contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means, if you would like to modify or cancel your booking due to Covid-19, our normal terms and conditions now apply.
If the restrictions are reintroduced and you are forced to cancel your holiday due to legal restrictions, please be rest assured that we will help you to move your booking within the same property, offer a voucher to be used within the same property within a year or cancel your booking in this instance and we will refund you the price you paid in full.
If you are concerned about the potential impact of Covid-19 on your holiday plans, outside of legal restrictions, we strongly advise you to seek out travel insurance which covers you in these and other eventualities.
