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.
Beautiful peaceful retreat, just what we needed. Booked it as Stella was my mum's name who died last year.
Excellent stay, wonderful cottage with everything needed for a cosy stay away. The housekeeper, Juliet, is outstanding. Beautiful location.
This truly is a first class property in a superb location,great accommodation with everything you need and so well organised by Juliet the housekeeper who makes sure you are looked after and have an enjoyable stay,we cant wait to book our next stay
We love going here. We have now lost count of how many times we have been. We dont really want to share it with anybody otherwise then we might not be able to get in when we want to! Wish the outside was painted though. The woodwork and windows badly need doing.
Stella is a very special place in an area of natural beauty with the special factor of being part of a lighthouse. Also it is spotless, very spacious, comfortable and well equipped. we were made very welcome by the housekeeper prior to our arrival and received a hamper pack of local foods which were enjoyed during our stay. I `appreciated the walks and views with close proximity to nature.
Stella was comfortable, warm, beautifully looked after and in a stunning spot on the coast
A truly unique place to stay - stunning coast, 5 star accommodation and fab housekeeper Juliet. Would highly recommend! A wonderful celebration for a special birthday 😊
Always a delight. And immaculately clean right through. I think this was our sixth visit possibly ? We just love it.
We've had another amazing stay at Stella (8th visit). The cottage is so beautifully decorated, warm and cosy and it's immaculately kept by Juliet, who always gives us such a warm welcome. It's located in such a picturesque area with many walks right on the doorstep. We cannot rate this property highly enough; we'll be returning in the very near future.
This was our fourth trip to Stella. We had another fab time! The cottage is beautifully furnished and decorated, it has amazing views and we'll be back again later in the year for sure! Thank you to Juliet who looks after the cottage and keeps it spotlessly clean.
Excellent location very well equipped and comfortable ( there is a small cell signal)
Stella is unusual, has an amazing location and is equipped to a very high standard. Visitors should take binoculars to view the passing ships.
Peaceful location, very homely. The perfect place to unwind with spectacular views to enjoy whilst walking and the dog friendly accommodation makes it a great family get away
Peaceful, interesting, place to stay. Great walks nearby.
Our third one week visit. The cottage is lovely and it's a really beautiful location. Great staff who were very helphul. Will go again.
Superb location, comfort, cleanliness, responsive host
Lovely place lovely location very enjoyable stay. Shame we couldn't get into the lighthouse to have a look around as it would of been lovely to see inside it very frustrating as the door into it was inside our property. It is obviously still maintained so it would be nice if Lighthouse keeper does come when you are staying you are told so you can get a chance to have a look at it from the inside. Will definitely recommend this place and if we are in Wales again I am sure we will strongly consider returning.
Wonderful location. Spotless and comfortable cottage and very helpful housekeeper
This is our bolt hole, we love it. Possibly our fourth visit? Would we could go more often. So lucky it is just an hour or so drive for us. Always spotlessly clean and to be highly commended for that. This time we took 'grandma' (again) who is 92. Usually we take two mid twenty somethings who also love it, particularly for cycling. We usually enjoy long cliff top walks. We will be back ! The outside needs a lick of paint, but I'm sure Trinity House have it in hand.
Fantastic Location, Fantastic accommodation (spotlessly clean and modern) and - IT'S A WORKING LIGHTHOUSE!!! What more could you ask for?! There's no doubt it's remote - but that makes it even more special! You do have to unlock (& relock!) a gate to get you (& your car etc) onto the property - but what else do you have a 14 year old for?! :) We were there at Easter (2023). the first few days were glorious, the last few the heavens opened! At ALL times we were comfortable and cosy! (What could be better than being wrapped up dry, warm and cosy in bed and hearing the wind literally howl around the building and the rain seriously lash the windows at 3am?! It genuinely was bliss!). Thankfully, the worst weather was at night - and it didn't spoil our break at ALL! Truly wonderful and hope to be back some day?! :)
