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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
We had a great stay at Ty Cerrig. All the facilities were fab, lovely lounge with fire and the kitchen was nice and big for cooking and dining. All the bedrooms were nice and clean and comfortable. Only thing to mention would be the garden is not technically enclosed and there are sheep in the fields adjacent that come quite close so we couldn’t let our dogs out without being on the lead. But overall we had a lovely stay and will definitely return!
If not for creaking bedroom floor boards and sticking doors we would have given five stars! It only needed a screwdriver to fix the doors. The drive was not easy to access from the road. Views were fantastic! Place nice and clean throughout.
Comfortable, well equipped, great location - what more could you ask for? A very relaxing long weekend spent in rural Wales with spectacular scenery. The cottage was very clean, warm & so comfortable in every way and a very generous welcome basket was left for us to enjoy. Thank you Rural Retreats.
A very comfortable and well maintained house in an excellent location. And 3 bathrooms for only 7 people makes life a lot easier.
Lovely house on a lovely location. Everything we needed was available. Nice setting, and a lot of space, also outside. We also liked the horses in the nearby field, and the fact that basically there are no neighbours (although the house close to it will be occupied in the future we guess based upon the maintenance it was undergoing). We surely recommend this House of Stone (which Ty Cerrig means ;) ).
Location and property excellent. Would have been a 5 Star but there wasn’t any mention nor indication in any of the photos of the cottage that there is another property directly next door. Very clever use of photography to use angles to ensure you don’t see the other cottage
Thank you for your feedback. We are are very pleased that you liked Ty Cerrig but sorry that you feel our photography fails to show the nearby property. We have discussed this with the Bodnant Estate and we do all feel that it is visible on the video and also on a shot across the field and an aerial shot.
Delighted with welcome pack. Beds very comfortable, kitchen extremly well equipped. Would definitely come back.
Beautiful cottage, beautiful location, ideal for a relaxing getaway. Only downside, garden not fully enclosed. (Dogs) We have used rural retreats for years and will continue to do so. Would recommend.
Beautiful cottage in an idyllic setting
Beautiful cottage, very well equipped and set in stunning grounds overlooking Snowdonia.
It was a beautiful property. The views were amazing, everything was well kept. The bed linen and towels were good quality and the hamper on arrival a lovely gesture. Ty Cerrig was very well situated for going out and about and seeing the area. The only negative we had was there were a lot of cobwebs everywhere as though the place needed a bit of a good spring clean. Lovely peaceful place and would look to return.
The underfloor heating came on in the kitchen but not in the sitting room.
Used housekeeping service to report faulty lights......friendly personal,dealt with immediately. As recycling people ourselves, we did find the recycling procedures a little unclear, therefore the refuse workers left one container unemptied. Didn't like leaving it behind for the next people.
We have stayed at many Rural Retreat properties before which have been excellent I found this property not to the standard that other cottages and halls we have stayed in before the beds not very comfortable in our room downstairs and twin room upstairs. The site of the cottages was lovely excellent views over the countryside. The lawn needed cutting and the fruit bowl was very poor had to throw away a few pieces and no instant coffee.
We have stayed here before and love the cottage. Two small problems, previous occupants recycling was stacked beside the front entrance and the zip and link bed was not made up under the duvets! Soon remedied with the bed linen in the wardrobe.
The property was a little unclean in places. There was some hairs on the edge of the shower, a cluster of 'yuk' under the toilet seat (only spotted as the boys lift the seat up), the fire was filthy - more than just ash left and couldn't even see through the glass pane, and I would suggest the sofa seat and decorative cushion covers could do with a wash.
