Glamp and Tipple Reviews

Sibling retreat

We had a lovely relaxing stay the yurt was very comfortable and clean. We made good use of the hot tub too! You do need a car to visit places, we used a taxi to go and come back from Attleborough where there is a good train service which takes you to Norwich 15 minutes you can then get connecting trains to the coast if you wish. The facilities on the site were good the honesty shop was a bonus. The yurt was well equipped, we would definitely recommend Glamp and Tipple.

Glamping

Nice place very relaxing, shop had everything you need for a few days.

Great experience

Overall, had a great time, the shop has everything you need and is open 24/7. The yurt was decorated nicely and was very warm once the fire got going (we stayed on a wet day in Feb). A little cold in the morning but what else would you expect and soon warmed up once we put the fire back on. Be aware with the hot tub as we accidentally overheated it and it was too hot for an hour or so, but eventually cooled down and was lovely and easy to maintain. Plenty of bedding and robes supplied. If you don't plan on cooking yourself, only Dominos and one other Indian deliver, although there are two nice pubs within a 5 minute drive. Would definitely want to return in summer.

Very impressive glamping site

This is a very well thought out site that gives privacy. Our yurt (Bollinger) was very well equipped and cosy. My only criticism is that the decking area around the yurt, hot tub and kitchen areas are very slippery and dangerous when wet. I suffered a bad fall. I was not being irresponsible nor was I under the influence of drink. The decking was wet and my right foot just slipped, bank a heap on the floor. I would like to see the smooth decking replaced by a highly non slip form of flooring. Apart from my bad fall, our glamping experience was terrific.

Many thanks for your very lovely review, we are very happy to hear you felt that the site itself was impressive and that overall you enjoyed your stay. We were very distressed to hear that you had a fall while staying with us. Believe it or not it's the first time anyone has had a bad fall at our site before! Obviously, we take the safety of all our guest extremely seriously, and we do have lots of warning signs up around the site regarding the decking and taking extra care when walking around, if the weather has been wet. We do provide anti slip mats in the kitchen area, by the hot tub and at the front door of yurts. Unfortunately, at this time of year when all the leaves are falling it can cause the decking to be a little slippery and we do our very best to ensure guests are aware of this. It's hard being a rural glamping site and battling against the constantly changing weather, but we always try our best. Shortly, after your stay we did ask a company to come in and advise us if there is any solution which was affordable (as you can imagine we have a huge amount of wood on site and we are only a small family business) and we are waiting to see what options there are which will help long term. In the meantime we have paid a company to pressure wash all the decking areas to try and remove any excess dirt/leaves which may have been contributing to the issue and it seems to be a lot better. I hope this helps to reassure you and others reading, that we care very much about our guests and are actively trying to remedy any issues for future guests.

Great experience

We really enjoyed our time here and it was all as pictured on the listing. The ladies that own it and the staff were all great and wanted to go out of their way to make sure everyone enjoyed their stay. It is clear how much they love what they do and providing a great experience to visitors. It is great how much is provided on the site and saves the hassle of remembering and packing it all. The kids (and me) loved all the games and facilities that were provided on site and could have kept them busy for hours. The inside of the yurt was spacious and cosy.

Thank you so much for the very kind review! Means a lot to the whole team and we hope to welcome you back again in the future :)

Relaxing break

A group of 4 ladies went and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The yurt was decorated well in a bumble bee theme and had all we needed for a relaxing break. The hot tub was the highlight and we certainly made the most of it. We had booked massage treatments by Anna and she was excellent and very friendly. Loren, her mum, and Helen (we didn't meet Lou) were so friendly and nothing was too much trouble. We'd booked afternoon tea after our massages and they came beautifully arranged. For £25 each, they were very good value. The only negative is that it was very muddy and we couldn't use our fire pit and BBQ, but this is the British weather for you! All in all, a very relaxing break and would definitely come again.

Thanks for such a lovely review, Carole! We are so happy you enjoyed the stay - it was lovely to meet you! Yes unfortunately we have been hammered with a record amount of rainfall this winter (south Norfolk was even in the paper as being one of the worst affected areas!) Obviously we always advise guests if the conditions are muddy and we are glad you all remembered your wellies! So sorry you weren't able to use the BBQ/fire-pit, if we'd known you needed them moved to a dryer spot, we would have happily moved them for you so you could utilise them. Unfortunately, as with all outdoor locations, the weather is the one aspect we can't control but we are closing in March to try and improve the drainage and paths on site so we can try to avoid this situation if it should happen again! We'd love to welcome you back one day!

Amazing glamping experience

I can't recommend this place enough. We had a fantastic 3 night stay here and wished we could have stayed longer. The Yurt was beautiful and the bed was really comfy, the best night's sleep I've had in ages. All the staff and owners are really lovely people and a big thank you to Loren, who greeted us on our arrival. She was brilliant and a credit to Glamp and Tipple. Can't wait to go back 😃

Site's response

Thank you so so much! This really is such a wonderful review and it makes our whole team so happy! Loren is AMAZING and we are so very lucky to have her happy and smiley personality on the site. We spent the best part of a year trying to work out a contract she would be able to afford to accept (both parties equally keen to work together!). As we were only a baby business, at the time, the idea of being able to afford a full-time member of staff was a scary prospect! We are so happy we took the leap of faith, she has been such a great asset and such a joy to work with! Long may she help us make G&T what it is!

Family occasion

We had a lovely stay and enjoyed it immensely. Hot tub was a great bonus. Would recommend it to family groups.

Many thanks for such a lovely review! We all really appreciate your support and are so happy you enjoyed the stay!

Great couple of night away

I spent 2 nights at the Glamp and Tipple on 4th and 5th of October 2023, with my partner. We had a great time! The Yurt was very cosy and felt luxurious at the same time. There was complimentary tea, coffee (ground Brazilian coffee as well!) and hot chocolate. The bed was comfy and the sleep spray smelt lovely and very calming. The decoration was lovely and it had all the cutlery and crockery you would need. And all the kitchen utensils you'd need to prep a meal. The wood burner inside the yurt was lovely to have on when it got cooler at night, as was the fire pit outside. The facilities on site are great whether your going as a couple or as a family/ group of friends, with plenty of games to keep everyone entertained. The private bathroom was also very welcome. We also had some friendly visitors in the shape of a cat with her 2 kittens! I would definitely recommend the Glamp and Tipple. I've been glamping in the past and this was by far my best experience.
