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 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.

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.
Welcome hamper. Super clean. Lovely location. Everything available that was needed. Quiet and dark!
Lovely peaceful location and a comfortable, well-equipped cottage. The welcome hamper was excellent and there were amazing walks straight from the door.
Beautiful cottage where you feel immediately at home. It's peaceful and cozy, perfect for a romantic retreat!
This is a lovely cottage, beautifully furnished and well equipped. It is in a quiet location, but within walking distance of the village pub. It is the second time we have stayed here, there is no much to do and see in the local area.
The best holiday cottage we have stayed in. Beautifully kept property, both inside and out, in a good location. Large, private garden with good views.
Picture book cosy cottage lovely off the beaten track setting
Perfect cottage in excellent location. Super quick response from owner to plumbing issue. Will definitely be back again!
The property is magnificent, quintessential English cottage. The provisions and decor within the cottage were like something out of a magazine. Lisa, the owner, was cheerful, kind and attentive to any needs that we had. The location, with access to lovely villages and walks as daily destinations could not have been better. Being able to walk down the road to the local pub was an added bonus.
Wonderful cottage, well-appointed in a beautiful and picturesque setting. The quality of the finish and furnishings shows how much care has been taken in providing this lovely let.
Outstanding cottage in every respect. Peaceful location with great walks from the door. Despite it being a last minute booking the cottage was immaculately clean and welcoming. Excellent hamper containing quality products. Probably the best cottage we have stayed in.
The only downside was the VERY annoying infestation of hundreds of little black flying insects, which seemed to come from the thatched roof, which made it impossible to take advantage of the table and chairs outside the door. We would have loved to have been able to have some of our meals out there as the weather was. Otherwise, the cottage and the location was was very good.
Excellent rural cottage accommodation in all respects except for TOTALLY impractical provision of USEFULLY accessible washing machine and tumble dryer
The cottage was decorated to a high standard, was extremely comfortable and everything worked! A great deal of thought had obviously been put into making the whole experience of staying there very pleasurable and we enjoyed our week very much.
Excellent location, great cottage, very helpful owner. Pub with good food within walking distance and excellent farm shop serving great food about 3 miles away. Great walks on Bredon Hill
Picture perfect, cosy, romantic and pretty private as it was on a narrow lane to nowhere. Owner very communicative and upfront about some building work ongoing at the rear - they were very discrete anyway and had a couple of friendly, well behaved dogs. Oh and as it's autumn there was an orchard we were permitted to gather fruit from. The welcome basket and other provisions were very well received. Would love to meet who created the décor as it could have been straight from a country living magazine. We left having had such a relaxing few days and wishing we could stay longer. Beautiful village down the lane with many other thatched homes (look for all the various animal creations perched on top). Local town of Pershore well worth a visit too and has some nice flat walks from if you don't fancy climbing the hill up the lane. The pictures of the cottage interior and exterior portray something special, but the reality is so much better.
This is a wonderful cottage in a beautiful place. We found the house very comfortable and well equipped. Great bathroom too. We could not get much sense out of the TV or DVD, but that was a minor consideration. We loved it!
Beautiful cottage with excellent area to explore. Very relaxing, Highly recommend. Food at the queen Elizabeth Inn, which is a short walk away, the festive menu 3 courses for £20 is a real bargain and delicious. The cottage could do with a microwave and also probably a better smart TV / Netflix etc , one remote didn’t work, but apart from that it was fantastically clean and well equipped. The welcome hamper is fantastic , thank you very much for the treats, and the wood burning stove great. Surround walk were limited as it was so muddy but lots of pretty towns a short drive away. Smashing.
Everything is of the highest standard and the location is great. Also the welcome basket was excellent.
Beautiful cottage in the country with a wonderful village right down the street. Landlords very attentive. Anything you could ask for and then some.
A gorgeous cottage inside and out, well looked after and maintained to a very high standard. Would highly recommend it and would not hesitate in booking it again
