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.

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.
Everything was quality: linens, furniture, internal doors. It made me feel calm, safe and relaxed there. Such good sleep! The size is just right for a couple. I did wonder from the photos if it might be pokey in places but it absolutely wasn’t. There are skylights all across the vaulted roof which flood the property with natural light. And of course they are fitted with remote blinds. Not only was the welcome pack very generous, nearly every consumable was provided! I’ve never seen such well stocked cupboards in any other self-catering facility - even other 5 star sites. If I had to be picky, I’d only give the shower 8/10 and the owners were having temporary issues maintaining the huge gardens. The owner was lovely, approachable and very responsive if we had any queries. It’s a good location for exploring that part of the world. There’s even a pub in walking distance serving food. It isn’t the most attractive pub in the world but the staff were attentive and it was a useful option to have.
The Cwtch is a beautiful modern cottage, spotlessly clean, beautifully and luxuriously furnished and extremely comfortable. We had everything we needed and more. Everything is pristine and of the very highest standard. The bed is extremely comfortable, with luxury bed linen. The cottage has its own enclosed garden with gas barbecue, and the owners kindly allow guests to explore their own very large garden. It is the perfect countryside retreat, set in picturesque surroundings. Everything is done with such care and attention to detail. We were greeted with a generous welcome hamper, with home-made welsh cakes and ingredients for our first meal. Lots of information is provided about the local area, restaurants and places to visit, etc. We had a wonderful, relaxing week and would love to return. Definitely recommend
The Cwtch exceeded our expectations in every way. The cottage was bright, modern, exceptionally well equipped and spotlessly clean when we arrived, with the table already laid for our evening meal and Welsh cakes and cookies ready for our afternoon tea. There was also a generous selection of breakfast foods, which were greatly enjoyed, along with gluten free bread to comply with my diet. We loved the peace and quiet of the place, the private outdoor space and the walks within the grounds. Steve, the owner, was very friendly and helpful. The Cwtch gave us everything we needed for a restful week, away from the hustle and bustle of our normal lives. thank you so much.
Fabulous cottage and beautifully furnished and decorated. Ideal location for exploring the surrounding are. We will definitely be back
The Cwtch was a perfect holiday retreat with a high standard of furnishings and everything we needed including a generous welcome pack. Also well located for getting to the motorway and exploring South Wales.
Beautifully furnished cottage with everything needed for a holiday for two. Lovely hamper on arrival and attention paid to every detail. Good central spot for exploring the area and near to station for getting into Cardiff. Hosts were exceptional. Only drawback was feather pillows on bed although we had requested non- allergy ones through Rural Retreats so perhaps the message wasn't passed on.
Booked this cottage in addition to Nos Da for other members of our family. A very comfortable stay in this well equipped cottage. Very cosy and private. Generous welcome hamper including everything for a lovely breakfast on the first morning. Would like to visit again in warmer months to take advantage of the garden.
The place was spotlessly clean and had everything you could think of needing.
The accommodation was very well appointed with ultra modern decor. The welcome pack was generous. Everything we needed was provided and exceeded our expectations.
Excellent property, very clean and comfortable. Owners are fantastic hosts and can't do enough for you. Food hamper and other goodies are a welcome treat and of a high quality. Good location too.
Easy to find, fashionably smart & comfortable, as anticipated, with plenty in the fridge; very good short stay, Diolch to Steve & Sue.
Simply the best place that we have booked on HomeAway
Spotlessly clean, everything we expected and more. Many thanks to Steve and Sue for making our stay comfortable.
Delightful!!! Cosy and friendly.
Wonderful stay. Great hosts. Beautiful location. Spotlessly clean. Relaxing and the best welcome hamper! Thank you, Steve and Sue
A beautiful place to stay with everything you could need.
A very well presented cottage, with a very comfy bed. Spotlessly clean and a delightful food hamper with attentive owners
steve and sue was amazing hosts they made sure we had everything we needed and more, I have never experienced this level of hospitality from the moment we was on the train they were in contact to find out what time we would reach as they said we could enter the property before 4pm which was awesome as sometimes with other homes you would typically have to wait and by then you would be tired especially if you came from far on public transport,they also messaged us the night before to find out our dietary requirements in case we were veggies as they prepared a lovely hamper (the best one we've had so far),steve also gave us a lift into town which was appreciated as we didn't drive, when we arrived it felt like home to the moment we left (we really didn't want to leave) it was a truly relaxing place we was planning when we wanted to come back already hopefully in the next few months , we will definitely reccomend to friends and family,a lot of thought has gone into making the cwtch high spec, warm,squeaky clean, no bugs or spiders ,amazing refreshing shower its just pure perfection, a must see/stay, thanks to steve and sue x. Gregg&Jade.
Good location for exploring the area, very clean neat and tidy property
