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.
The location is stunning and the cottage is cosy and warm.
Fantastic location, well appointed accommodation.
have been to this particular holiday resort seven times over five years and love it BUT the interior furniture has been changing over the last two years and is not as superior as when we first went, less chairs smaller dining table carpet in lounge quite dirty, but nevertheless we love this gorgeous place as you can tell!
Sherrin is a well-equipped cottage in a wonderfully located area of North Devon. Although the cottage has been fairly recently renovated, there is mold on the bathroom wall and verdigris and mildew on the shower enclosure. Some kitchen items (e.g. pans, glasses) should be replaced or increased. Tenants of the cottages should pay particular attention to the fact that the gates at the beginning of the path to Bull Point, as well as the gate to the lighthouse area, are closed, as stated in the directions from Rural Estates, otherwise hikers will repeatedly enter the area and immediately walk alongside two of Sherrin Cottage's three bedrooms to look at the lighthouse. A clear indication at the gate that this is private property would certainly be helpful, as the existing sign is old and weathered. We had a lovely time in the cottage and were very lucky with the weather.
have stayed here six times- need i say more it is so beautiful BUT must admit it was not as good as usual quite a lot of dishes, mugs and glasses missing it did not matter to us as we were only two but if five stay they may have difficulty.
The holiday was, as in the previous three years, absolutely wonderful, house beautifully clean, weather, twelve days of sunshine but quite a few cleaning items and odds and ends missing which have always been there in the last three years which cost us just under £50.00. never mind it was a PERFECT holiday.
Great location. Beautiful walks.
Great communication and support from Rural Retreats when booking and organising holiday. The accommodation was excellent, very clean, well set up for a great stay. We were very happy with Sherrin at Bullpoint and recommend it as a good place to stay and enjoy the delights of North Devon.
Location/accommodation was excellent and so peaceful. Coastal walks either side of lighthouse with amazing views. Would definitely book again!
A beautiful rural location in North Devon. Fabulous views out to sea. South West coastal footpath on your doorstep. Well kitted out house, plenty of space. Difficult narrow lane to access from main road especially with a large car and bikes on the back. Not many pulling in areas so you will have to reverse, busy lane with walkers, thankfully not cars as it's a private road. Stock up on food to take as large shops are not close by. Recycling bins at beginning of drive that belong to the house were overflowing with items from the Campsite sadly. Not possible to recycle items because of this.
Sherrin is a majical retreat and after three visits there I can say it just gets better and better. The views and countryside are wonderful and Rural Retreats staff are kind and so considerate. Thank you for a holiday of a lifetime.
Excellent hidalgo venue. Amazing location, warm and cosy with great views. House very well equipped, spacious, clean and comfortable.
This is a perfect situation for a peaceful holiday with walks on the doorstep. We had a wonderfully peaceful week there. The lane to the property was a slight challenge when we came across walkers who, on the whole, were very good natured about finding somewhere to stand to enable us to pass them safely. There are very few passing places but only holiday cottage cars and the occasional National Trust van to negotiate. We only came across this problem on one occasion in the week. The property is in need of some minor maintenance work, but that aside it was comfortable, clean and spacious. The welcome pack was generous and practical. Being able to eat outside with far reaching views, sunsets and star filled skies at night was glorious.
Lovely location and property
Really Happy with our stay at Sherrin,very clean and well equipped bungalow....our only moan is we wished we had stayed for longer!!!!
We received what we expected, clean and comfortable, pity about the weather!
The cottage and location was absolutely amazing.Its the second time we have been there and will definitely be going back.
Lovely position. Well equiped bungalow. Minor things:- Tin opener not working and kitchen knives need sharpening. Another couple of small/medium size saucepans would be useful We do feel you should inform potential holiday makers about the 1.2 mile single track potholed road with no passing places! Not good for 80 year old nerves !
We had a lovely stay the accommodation was beautiful and unique lots of walks to do and a few lovely towns not far at all and lots of dog friendly things to do too
