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.

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.

We had an excellent stay at Broomers Barn, we were made so welcome by Ian & Avril They went over and beyond in making our stay so enjoyable
My wife and I stayed at Broomers Barn for 5 nights in early August 2024. The location is quiet and very pretty, and the surroundings are truly lovely. Also lovely was the friendly hospitality from Avril and Ian; well belong what is expected and required, but making the whole experience very special. (Thank you so much, Avril and Ian). Over the years we have stayed at quite a few self-catering facilities across the English countryside. We usually try to visit a different place each time, however nice a place is. In the case of Broomers Barn, we actually hope to return one day. Highly recommended.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. We are delighted that you had such a lovely stay at Broomers Barn and we look forward, with the owners, to welcoming you back in the future.
Excellent accommodation, friendly hosts and huge welcome hamper. The only fly in the ointment was the sluggish broadband (< 2Mb/s), but that should be sorted by the time we hope to visit again next year, as superfast fibreoptic broadband was starting to arrive in Richards Castle on the day of our arrival!
