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.

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.

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 place to stay, tastefully converted and furnished, well equipped. Ideal garden and patio area to sit out. Next to owners but still private. Set in beautiful village with shop and pub. Lots to see and do in the area. Walks from the door.
Beautiful home from home holiday. Quiet location with views on the edge of a a very pretty village with a pub. The best self catering accommodation we have stayed in. Really spacious, comfortable clean and fully equipped.. recently modernised to a high standard. Our family of 4 and dog loved it . Pretty private enclosed garden.
Our second stay in Linden barn it's a perfect holiday property for our family, it's immaculate,well equipped and the owners are very welcoming
Simply it was beautiful. Linden Barn is lovely with modern up to date fixtures and fittings. Lovely suntrap garden as well. Gorgeous tucked away location within lovely Orton village. Perfect base for the Lakes, Yorkshire Dales and M6. Great local shop, the local pub does fabulous food, and I miss the local church bells. You start living life by quarter hours instead of every minute. Definitely going to return in the near future.
What fantastic feedback. We are delighted that you had such a lovely stay at Linden Barn and thank you so much for leaving your review.
The barn is cosy, well equipped and enjoys an excellent location. It's walking country and several scenic walks start right from the doorstep. If it's peace and quiet you want then this property is for you.
Thank you so much for your excellent recommendation for Linden Barn.
Our second stay at Linden Barn -- and loved it just as much!
It’s a fab barn comfortably furnished and cosy, in a fab location, lovely village, lovely views and great walking for the dogs. We had lovely trips out too. It’s not an entirely dog proof garden though. Our two terriers were able to sneak under the fencing to say hi to Pablo.
Beautiful village setting on the coast to coat path. Pub, cafe, bus shelter library, chocolate factory, post-office and village shop all within 5 mins walk. Close to the Tebay exit on the M6 and lots of places to visit within easy reach, Clean, comfortable and modern inside with everything you need. Saw red squirrels in the distance and guinea fowl in the garden and of course, Pablo the horse!
Lovely, well-appointed barn conversion with all mod-cons and plenty of space. Peaceful location but with good access to basic facilities and surprisingly quick access to motorway etc. We will definitely visit again!
Beautiful clean and bright place . Linden Barn had everything you needed
One of the best appointed cottages/barns we have ever stayed in . Immaculately clean , comfortable , everything you need is provided and the lovely helpful owners live next door . The barn setting is beautiful , great views , a lovely well tended garden and an adjacent field housing a very friendly horse, Pablo. Red squirrels came to the garden during our stay ! Peaceful and a great place to unwind . A lovely welcome basket was left including delicious homemade marmalade and cake made by the owner . Often when we have stayed in places , the garden and the outside is a bit tatty but this was just a beautiful place to sit and enjoy the views across the countryside . Great local walks , including stone circles , babbling streams and lots of wildlife . Perfect !
Wow, wow and wow the pictures of Linden Barn does not do the barn justice. The barn was immaculate when we arrived and the welcome basket was lovely, especially the lemon cake. The only way I can describe the location is idyllic and so quiet. We loved sitting outside in the morning watching the birds and first for us a red squirrel. The barn in well equipped with everything you need, with comfy beds to boot. The barn was very cosy especially when you get the open fire roaring at night. The George hotel just a 2 minute walk away served lovely food and beer with nice friendly staff. The takeaway is also worth a try. Lots of walks on your door step if that is your thing as well. We would definitely love to return one day.
Beautiful property which was built & stocked to a high standard. The hosts Fiona & Brian were friendly & were easily contactable if needed. The barn is situated in a lovely village & provides easy access to the surrounding Lake District & Yorkshire Dales. Highly recommended.
A lovely barn conversion with spacious accommodation which was very well equipped in a beautiful setting. A super base to explore the Lake District and Dales. The village of Orton is very quaint and quiet set in beautiful countryside with lots of super walks. The owners of the barn (who live next door) were lovely and very welcoming and helpful. The only very minor criticism is that as the heating was underfloor it took a full day to warm up and was quite chilly on the first night, though the log burner and an ample supply of wood helped! The welcome pack was very much appreciated, especially the delicious lemon cake (plus bread, milk, butter, coffee, tea etc)!
