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.
Well located and beautifully furnished. Well stocked kitchen with comfortable dining facilities. However, we would have appreciated some smaller glasses to enable us to enjoy a sherry or port by the fireside.
excellent accommodation providing everything I needed in a beautiful and nurturing environment
This is a delightful cottage, lovely and warm and wonderful hot water. It is very comfortably furnished in a good location. I did think hard about awarding the full 5 stars as there are a few things 'missing'. We could have done with a bigger supply of cutlery and some crockery as there is a full size dishwasher and we found we were washing some items up before the dishwasher was full. However it was nice to find the kitchen had not become a dumping ground for the owners own unwanted items, an experience we have had on a number of occasions. A short length of hose in the garden would have been helpful for dog washing. After all the cottage allows 4 dogs.
A beautiful cottage in a lovely setting.. a bonus with the voucher and entry to Castle Howard. The area was full of interesting papers to visit.
The cottage was as described and was quaint and a little bit quirky. We had glorious weather but had I seen a picture of the garden furniture prior to arrival we would have brought our comfy camping chairs. The barbecue was great and we had Barbie’s each evening cooked on disposable barbecues positioned above the barbie. Bed was so comfortable and the cottage, being stone built, was cool in the heat of the day. The voucher for Castle Howard was much appreciated and we spent a day there including walking the gardens. Delightful break.
Lovely cottage. Well equipped to a high standard. Beautiful location with peaceful solitude. Castle Howard vouchers were much appreciated . Would recommend this cottage to everybody.
Beautifully decorated and furnished, very well equipped, and supremely comfortable. Lovely peaceful quiet location with excellent walks nearby.
Super cottage,pleased the garden is Now secure . Back door screaches needs attention Otherwise perfect.
