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.
Beautiful house, beautiful location and helpful and attentive host… all set in a lovely village.
A stylish and comfortable characterful cottage. Very well equipped. Beautiful garden. Lovely touches such as fresh flowers and generous welcome hamper. Peaceful surroundings in a friendly village. James is a great host.
We didn’t want to leave. This is such a beautiful cottage with stunning gardens, even in dreary November. James was the perfect host. Everything you need and more has been provided. Perfectly located in a quiet village with plenty of walks on the doorstep. The Bell was an excellent find for eating out and all the local attractions are easily accessed by car.
Beautiful place, great attention to detail and an amazing host.
The accommodation was very well designed & very comfortable. The communications both with James & the housekeeper were immediate & helpful. The garden was quite beautiful. As a 'washer up er ' I would have liked a draining rack & a mop, small points.
The Dairy was delightful in every respect and the garden was magical, we were invited to use any part of this wonderful garden which was so appreciated. James was a very generous and thoughtful host and we had some lovely treats in our hamper. The dairy is well placed for visits to surrounding towns and sights, the circular river walk is worth doing as is the circular Bredon Hill walk. Croome (NT) property is well worth a visit. The local pub The Bell was also very good. Thank you James!
This is a real Wow! property….so clean, so beautifully thought out and with the most amazing garden. We’ve only ever stayed in one other RR which has come close to this, and we didn't want to leave. From the delicious home grown veg in the welcome pack, to the fluffy towels and stunning furnishings, with flowers from the garden dotted here and there….there really was nothing to fault. And we loved Pershore, Worcester and nearby NT houses. Thank you!
Amazing holiday property the owners are so lovely, the setting is so lovely too, spotlessly clean, the decor very nice and very homey, welcome basket with gluten free too was so welcome, will def be back, many thanks for a lovely week, x
The Dairy is located in the lovely village of Eckington. The cottage was warm, comfortable and superbly decorated and furnished. The gardens were beautiful and peaceful and even though the cottage had its own seating areas the owners opened up their vast gardens for us to enjoy. Lovely local walks from the door and plenty to see and do in the area.
Beautiful cottage , lovely welcome hamper , everything you wanted for a weekend away
The dairy is the most comfortable, attractive house we have ever stayed in. They have thought of everything. The furniture and fittings are top class and James the host is always on hand (but in an unobtrusive way) to help. There is the most beautiful garden with tables and chairs to sit out. it really is superb in every way
One of the best places we have stayed - lovely hosts and a wonderful garden. In range of both the Cotswolds and the Malvern hills
Lovely secluded place. Very clean and well equipped which catered for our every needs. The welcome hamper was a lovely gesture and the log burner was perfect for chilly nights. Loved it…..Would definitely stay again and recommend to everyone.
Excellent accommodation at The Dairy with so many thoughtful touches around the property it may you feel instantly at home. It was also well situated in the vullage within walking distance of the well stocked village shop and two pubs. James the owner was on hand to answer any questions and provide helpful local advice. We have been staying at Rural Retreats properties for many years and would rank The Dairy as the best yet.
Perfection. The welcome package was exceptional and James was the perfect host.
A good and comfortable stay in a well equipped property set in a very pleasant and colourful garden with part private to property. The village is quiet, pleasant and interesting. Walks can be started from the property. It is well suited for visits to numerous gardens, houses and other places of interest. Well stocked village shop nearby.
Delightful property with welcoming hosts, in a quiet village, superbly appointed cottage in beautiful gardens.
Excellent accommodation to an extremely high standard. The best Rural Retreats property that we have stayed at.
It was lovely. Very comfortable and everything you needed from plentiful toiletries and local maps to a very nice hamper. The welcoming flowers and fruit were particularly nice touches
The Dairy has almost everything one needs and it was beautiful. Our hosts were charming and very helpful and friendly.
