Luxury under canvas

If you love the great outdoors but don't want to leave your home comforts behind, our safari tents are the perfect place to stay. Here, you can enjoy fresh air and open space while still having everything you need to relax. Inside, comfortable furnishings, electric appliances and plenty of space to stretch out. Outside, your own private decking, a BBQ and fire pit, and views you'll love getting lost in. 

Toast marshmallows under the stars. Share meals around the log stove, as warmth fills the air and the family dog warms your feet. Let the rustle of branches lull you to a deep, rewarding sleep. And wake knowing that each new day promises new adventures and lasting memories.

  Luxury Family Glamping

We stayed 4 nights in the dome meadow in the most beautiful dome tent. On arrival the accommodation was spotless and so well presented with everything we needed for our stay. The dome was heated with a Dyson heater so we had a lovely warm welcome. The fridge was stocked with fresh milk and cold water, the fires were ready to be lit and all our beds were being warmed by electric blankets ready for the evening. The farm park was a 5 minute walk across the field, past the lambs and llama!! I have already recommended our stay to friends and we hope to be returning soon!!

  Great venue for a weekend break

Booked a long weekend break for the whole family + dog as a surprise 70th birthday treat for my wife. We thoroughly enjoyed it, the cabin style accommodation was really nice and for a group of 6 adults, 2 toddlers and a dog it did not seem cramped at all. The on site attractions were just right for the kiddies and we didn't have to go off site for anything, plenty to see and do. Heartily recommend it for people of all ages.
