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.

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.

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.
Very generous welcome pack, wonderful rural location, very relaxing and peaceful.
The owners of Strawberry Lodge provided us with everything we could possibly need i.e.) comfort, a very clean and peaceful environment. We so enjoyed watching the farmer on his quad bike zooming up and down picturesque fields with his trusty sheepdog out front. Both did a marvellous job of persuading the ewes and their lambs to move from one field to another. Blissful! We were also blessed with amazing weather for the whole week. Would love to visit Strawberry Lodge again! Thank you so much, Claire and Robert :-)
Exceptional accommodation & stunning views.
We have been there about 3-4 times now...I think that says it all. A super place, incredible location and lovely hosts. Hope to make it another 3-4 stays in the future.
We regularly stay at Strawberry Lodge to visit family nearby. It’s located in the countryside and is very peaceful yet within easy driving distance of Leicester. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable.
We couldn’t have imagined a better location, with stunning views of the beautiful English countryside from every window. The house itself was perfect and stocked with everything we could have possibly needed.. Robert and Claire were wonderful hosts who made sure the house was perfect upon arrival . They even put up a Christmas tree for us. Looking forward to returning as soon as we can!
Clean, quiet location, great views, lovely welcome hamper!
Strawberry Lodge was a wonderful place to stay, the views across the farm were magnificent from the sitting room. Despite the weather we sat outside in the morning with a cup of tea enjoying the vista. The place was very clean and an ideal layout. We were delighted with the basket the owner left with food including a home made cake and homemade marmalade For 6 of us we each had a bedroom with an ensuite which was perfect. I had a few text conversations and the owner was friendly and very helpful, checking we were fine during our stay.
Lovely, well equipped accommodation in a lovely environment/location. Owner just round the corner, and responded very quickly to any ask for assistance. Family of 5 had a lovely 5 star weekend.
Strawberry Lodge always has great feedback and thank you so much for leaving yours.
This was our second stay at Strawberry Lodge and it was just as good as before. The lodge is so well equipped, spotlessly clean and the welcome hamper excellent. We love the views over the fields and the walks from the property and it is a great base to explore the local towns and countryside. We will definitely stay here again.
A fabulous stay in a wonderful rural location ( even though we did have bad weather). The welcome Hamper was extremely generous , I haven't see one this good pre covid. Plenty of useful utensils/crockery. Lovely soft bedlinen. We enjoyed using 2 bathrooms for just two of us. If I was being super critical , the only thing I would change is, for a bigger TV in the main area, and would use the current one in the Master bedroom. Communications with the owner was timely and clear . I would highly recommend a stay at Strawberry Lodge and we definitely plan a return visit soon.
A wonderful cottage in rural Leicestershire. Strawberry Lodge offers excellent accommodation coupled with peaceful life on a working farm. I would recommend the cottage as the perfect getaway for all age groups.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your review. Strawberry Lodge is such a popular property and we are very pleased that you have enjoyed your stay.
Beautifully presented, fantastically well equipped, stunning setting, really helpful owner.
What a fabulous review for lovely Strawberry Lodge. Thank you so muchfor leaving your feedback.
Lovely location, stunning views, nice and private. Roomy and clean accommodation. We had a brilliant stay and will return.
Strawberry Lodge was spotlessly clean, well appointed & equipped. Perfect for our multi-generational family get together.
The lodge is in a beautiful rural setting, it’s spotlessly clean, peaceful, amazing views - it has a great position on its own. We’ve been here three times and love it. We’ll be back! We cannot recommend it more highly.
Excellent accommodation throughout. Well equipped, good location and fantastic views
Amazing location, so quiet and peaceful, but with in reach of lots of lovely places to visit. Also wonderful time of year to visit with all the lambs, so entertaining 😀 The Lodge is spacious, very clean and has everything you need, plus a lovely welcome pack. Will definitely return.
This was our second year staying at Strawberry Lodge, & we love it so much, we have booked again for next year. The owners are extremely hospitable (the welcome pack is truly amazing) & the accommodation/views are breathtaking. Thank you.
Excellent accommodation set in a working farm with wonderful views from the Lodge. Great base to explore the area.
