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.

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.

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.
Lovely little cottage with great views in a beautiful location. Routes to tourist locations within easy reach. Lovely welcome hamper.
Thank you so much for leaving your lovely feedback for Ty Ucha'r Ffordd.
Really lovely property, the only disappointment was the missing chair in the living room and unfortunately as my husband is 6’4” any future bookings will need to have a king size bed without a footboard.
The property was comfortable and clean. There was everything we needed in the kitchen. Super location. Some windows very stiff to open - perhaps a bit of oil on the hinges? Recent comments made in the visitors' book mention disappointment with the welcome hamper. We would concur with this. Although the items in the hamper were of a high quality, it would have been nice to have basics included, i.e. bread, butter, milk and a packet of tea. This would be helpful , particularly as there are no local shops for these items. In all the other Rural Retreat properties we have visited, basic items have been included in the hamper, which has been very helpful.
Beautifully presented cottage in a idyllic peaceful location. Welcome hamper an excellent addition with all the essentials catered for. Cottage well stocked with everything you might need. Bodnant Gardens are incredible, you could easily spend the day and still not be able to admire it all! We also visited the Bodnant Farm Shop..several times, a real credit to the manager and staff who were working so hard over a busy Easter weekend. Delicious selection of food, my vegetarian selections were better than most restaurant quality! Thank you Rural Retreats.
It’s just so lovely! Been quite a few times and it never disappoints! The cottage, the attention to detail, the little extras.
Great cottage with lovely views
perfect location clean and comfortable.
The cottage is in a beautiful quiet location, with stunning views across unspoilt countryside to the hills and mountains. The sunsets were amazing. The location is a perfect base to explore North Wales from, lovely beaches, forests and castles galore. Within easyreach of Llandudno if you need shops and facilities. There's a good butcher and food shop on the Bodnant estate for good quality meat, cheese, bread etc We and our dog enjoyed the peaceful setting, the walking was great. The cottage itself has everything you need, comfortable bed, a spacious bathroom. There's a woodburing fire if needed. The cottage was clean, and nicely furnished.
The cottage was set in an beautiful location quite and peaceful, the cottage was clean and tidy with all appliances. A fantastic restaurant called Hayloft is a short drive away. Would highly recommend a stay.
Superb location, great welcome hamper, lovely walks, tranquil, fantastic area for beaches, castles, and gardens particularly Bodnant. Will definitely return
It was everything we wanted Secluded , cosy , very clean , and everything we needed for a relaxing week away ! Very generous welcome pack including a bottle of wine ! Good walk through the woods just 10 minutes away great for dogs .
Great location if you want to be away from it all. The cottage was really cosy and very well equipped. Great walks from the door. Would definitely return.
The cottage was great, it had everything we needed for a mini break, loved the remote location, only thing I would say is that the bushes outside the kitchen window need cutting back so you can make the most of the view!
excellent stay, lovely location
Lovely little cottage. Fantastically quiet and away from the hustle bustle. Great welcome pack and terrific farm shop near by for supplies. Would have been 5 stars but, not as clean as I would have liked with black mould in the bathroom shower and multiple cobwebs about the house but still a great holiday cottage.
Cottage brilliant with everything needed on hand. In respect of location we found it a little remote for our liking and the single track road was an absolute pain my car almost touched touched both sides of the hedge, thankfully we did not meet much traffic. The welcome pack was top notch and real quality. Overall cleanliness was pretty good but the shower had some grubby grout and you did not need to look far for a few cobwebs. The smoke alarm close to the cooker was a pain in the butt, we have recently had two fitted by the Fire Brigade and were told they never placed them in kitchens but on the threshold. Did we enjoy our stay, yes we did. Bodnant Gardens should be compulsory for all visitors, fantastic!
Lovely cottage, really relaxing surroundings. The Local Welsh food centre was great for provisions. Very smooth booking and check in procedure via Rural Retreats, would use them again :)
Excellent property - quiet, well furnished and presented. Snags attended to promptly. Would go back to Ty Ucha'r Ffordd
Lovely location and well equiped the cottage was very comfortable
excellent cottage. Poor weather!
