Inside, you will find a cosy, rustic interior with a fully equipped kitchen, seating area, private bathroom, and comfortable beds, creating a true ‘home away from home’ experience. The peaceful, secluded location offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
Each tent sleeps up to six people, with one king-size bedroom, one twin bedroom, and one with a king-size enclosed cabin that accommodates both children and adults. There is a private bathroom with running hot water, a shower, toilet, and sink, complete with luxury skincare products from 100 Acres.
The kitchen is fully equipped with all the utensils you need, including tea and coffee facilities, a small fridge freezer, a gas hob, and a spacious dining area with a wood-burning stove to keep you warm and cosy as night-time falls.
With large windows and plenty of natural light, this safari tent can be ‘opened up’ to bring the outdoors in. Outside, cook up a feast on the firepit or toast delicious marshmallows while taking in the breathtaking sunsets.
To keep everyone entertained, especially energetic children, this glampsite offers plenty of family games and outdoor activities. The children’s play area features a swing, slide, tree stumps, and tyres to explore, plus a special bespoke mud kitchen. Dogs are welcome too, so your furry friends can join in the outdoor fun.
