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.
Lovely cottage and fantastic lighthouse and location but.. washing machine full of towels and bedding which had been left in. An unwashed dirty pan in the cupboard. Very few knives in the property. Considerable problems with damp in the bedrooms with large pieces of paint falling off the ceiling in the cupboard in the master bedroom. I have rented these properties for the last 15 years and I fear Sevenstones needs a little love and attention. Also better preparation prior to renting. Given that this costs £1500 a week I think a little work needs to be done....
Great location and well furnished, although for the 2nd year on the trop the boiler tripped. Also disappointed with Rural Retreats hamper, nottle of wine instead of ground coffee would have been preferred as would a loaf of bread instead of fudge Also disappointed that I was told that we could only book for minimum of 7 days (in May !) only to find people there from Saturday to Tuesday. Basically my gripes do not put me off booking, possibly 9/10 visits, because it is a fantastic building in a wonderful location. The Lizard Peninsular is something special. Will be back next year and hopefully no ****** ground coffee 👍😃 My 5 star rating is for the property and location, not for RR who do not seem to appreciate repeat customers
Thank you for your feedback and I am very sorry that you were disappointed in aspects of your stay. We and the lighthouse owners realise how important it is for a welcome gesture to greet our guests on arrival however for several reasons including ecological ones the owners have changed to starter packs which we show on the webpages. Regarding days there has obviously been a misunderstanding. I see that you initially booked Sevenstones for 6 days and I would like to reassure you that we take bookings at the lighthouses for 3, 4,5 6, and 7 night stays throughout the year.
Items need to be improved.
nice apartment, inconvenient fog alarm.
Excellent fantastic accomodation
Very good accommodation although a little tired in places. The fog horn was a bit more frequent than expected but added character. Overall had a good break
Wonderful and looking forward to visiting again
Spectacular accommodation with lovely sea views. Lovely and close to the coast path and to take the dog on some long walks. Bed was very comfy and generally the accommodation was very impressive all round. Helpful that it had a downstairs bedroom with ensuite for my elderly parents who would not have managed the steep stairs. The fog signal went off quite a few times and you are very close to it so pretty noisy outside! Inside not so bad and you get used to it and in the end, I was looking forward to it going off! It is a working lighthouse so that must be taken into consideration.
Very warm cottage. Lovely comfortable beds. Amazing views.
The holiday cottage was gorgeous, modern and really well kitted out. The reason for 4 star is that it does really need wifi. Especially with zero phone signal. We had a great stay - even with the foghorn!
Excellent location, Always clean and tidy Plenty of space Would recommend for a quiet peaceful holiday Downside the internet is a waste of time if you are looking to catch up on the world The fog horn is very noisy but soon learned to sleep through it Will book again in the future
Our 9th annual 2 week stay at Lizard Lighthouse - says it all really ! The new welcome pack was disappointing - a far cry from the substantial hamper with wine and flowers of previous years ! Pleased we can still obtain an internet signal by placing a mobile wifi unit on the upstairs landing window cill. ( 4G - 3 Network )
The place was lovely , well presented . The downstairs bedroom would be better with curtains , to block out lighthouse . Unable to get hold of housekeeper
Friendly and kind service. A place worth recommending if someone wants to spend away from the hustle and bustle with children. Delicious regional food.
This has been an idyllic location for a Christmas hide-a-way. Thank you for the lavish provisions on our arrival, the very comfortable beds and ample hot water! We love the Lizard Lighthouse and the tour was very informative. As we continue our travels into Devon and Somerset, we carry excellent memories with us of the wild Cornish coast and the ever present FOGHORN!!
Lovely location, great cottage, beautiful hamper and would have given 5 stars but some items in the hamper were on their sale by date which was a shame
lovely cottage, in a great location
Really enjoyed our stay great welcome pack and very clean accommodation the only aspect that slightly spoilt our weekend was the 9:00am check out.
