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.
Lots of space, brilliant location, cosy and very well equipped
Incredible house in a wonderful location. Well equipped - they thought of everything!
Lovely property, close to amenities and with easy access to Holkham. House was very clean and had everything we needed.
Spacious, warm and inviting It was a perfect size for our family group Parking space for 4 cars Great position to the town
It is a big house. Very clean with everything thought of. It is close to the harbour and the shop of wells.
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to leave your feedback for Laylands.
The property is the perfect getaway for a group of friends with plenty of areas to take a rest should it be needed. Perfect location within walking distance of the town, should you wish to venture out. The property had everything you can think of, and to a high standard. Highly recommend.
Another great stay and holiday at the lovely Laylands. The location is perfect, very clean on arrival and well equipped in all areas. We can’t wait to return! We enjoyed eating out nearby and recommend the crab house, A&M fresh fish stall, new pizza place Flour, Frenches and Socius but also made very good use of the large kitchen and BBQ as it’s such a nice place to cook, relax and gather. The light railway was fun and the two local beaches amazing as ever. Couple of niggles, the first-floor room to the left as you come up the stairs needs a new mattress, it was very uncomfortable with loose springs. Also, the blind cords in the upstairs top room designed for the little ones have no safety clips so they needed to be made safe each night. Everything else was perfect!
Inside of the property excellent, outside needs a bit of TOC. Key safe very difficult to locate - we had to phone for help. Great location, easy walk to pubs and restaurants.
Excellent location within easy reach of all Wells has to offer . Great house - accommodating 6 adults and 4 children with ease . Very well equipped kitchen and plenty of lovely rooms to spread out in if needed . Highly recommend. We had a great family weekend.
Super Christmas stay for the whole family! The house is beautiful and happily, beautifully decorated for Christmas. Proximity to the beach and town was a big plus!l One caveat, the stair gate supplied had been damaged previously and could not be installed. Fortunately we had 6 adults to keep an eye on the littlest one. We did expect the house to be a bit chilly - on the contrary, we found it almost too warm. All in all, a super visit - highly recommended!
Used Laylands as a family get away for my 60th birthday. The property was superb and in a great location. We all had a fantastic timeđź‘Ť
Really lovely place to stay. Great location. Definitely worth booking and would do so again. Big bonus also was the enclosed rear garden felt really safe for the children.
A perfect holiday. Thank you!
Beautiful house, great location. Everything was spotlessly clean with lots of added extras. Welcome pack was a nice touch.
Perfect stay in a perfect location.house was immaculate,all needs catered for,warm comfortable and plenty of space for our three families.
Great home, spacious and lovely location.
A clean, spacious and charming house, well-located for the expansive local beaches and historic town of Wells-next-the-Sea.
Beautiful house, well equipped in a great position for the town/beach. We had a fabulous week.
Beautiful property, well appointed, fantastic location 5 minutes from the town and 30 minutes walk to one of the country’s best beaches. We had just the best family holiday.
Beautiful, large and comfortable house. Split between the original building and a vast modern extension on the back of the house. Beds comfortable, equipment of good quality. Stayed in December and heating very efficient and house well insulated, which is great at keeping those North Sea winds at bay during the winter! Must be delightful to visit in Summer and make use of the patio and garden.
