About Lee Wick Farm Cottages and Glamping

For glamping, you'll be treated to three MegaPods set in their own paddock, two CargoPods also in their own enclosed paddock, three Armadillas and 12 unique and stylish Lushna Suite cabins. Every pod, Armadilla and Lushna has its own private log fired hot tub. These are optional to book for an additional cost which includes bags of kiln-dried logs and fire starter bricks for guests to light and heat the tubs. The Armadillas sleep up to two adults only - these offer luxury glamping, more like a hotel room, but located in a field! Each has its own loo and shower inside, with bench seating that transforms into two single beds or one double bed. There is a small kitchen area, with a sink, microwave, kettle and toaster, crockery and cutlery for two people. You'll always be cosy with underfloor heating for the colder months and there is mood lighting, TVs and DVD players too. Outside you'll find seating for two people, a fire pit and a charcoal BBQ.

These have floor to ceiling glass windows and doors maximising the views over to the estuary. Inside each, is a spacious shower room with a loo and sink, a kitchen / kitchenette area with electric induction plate, fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster and sink.

A note from the site themselves...

Lee Wick Lane and the marshes beyond the seawall are a magical place. Just a short walk and you can be on the seawall and explore. The area has so much to offer for those who like being outdoors and plenty for a rainy day too. We have some info sheets we can email you for details if requested.

Glamping Cabin - Large Lushna Mezzanine SuiteNov 2023

We had a really good time and enjoyed the facilities. Even in cold weather, the cabin retains heat very well. The hot tub was fantastic and after following the instructions, we had nice, long soaks. We will definitely recommend it and would like to return again soon.

Lovely stay in Mega Pod 1

Pod - MegaPodsJun 2023

Had the most lovely stay at Mega Pod 1 at Lee Wick Farm! Was a little worried from some negative reviews, but our stay was just perfect. Super clear instruction for the BBQ and wood-fired hot tub, clean and homely mega pod, perfect for 2 very comfortable nights, lovely tranquil time and would love to stay again!

Lovely stay

Pod - MegaPodsMar 2023

Very good stay overall. Lovely location and couldn't fault the accommodation. Everything was made very simple and easy to understand, i.e lighting, hot tub and site access. The hot tub took longer to light than anticipated as it was cold, but did stay warm overnight.
