Or, if glamping is more your style, opt for one of the cosy cabins or lodges, each with a private outdoor decking, BBQ and electric hot tub. All include ensuite bathrooms, bedding, linen, towels, heating, TVs, kitchens and WiFi.
Each of the glamping cabins features a double bed and bunk bed, whilst Merlin, Lapwing and Curlew also have an additional double sofa bed.

Dogs are welcome to join you, with up to two pups per pitch or glamping unit. The site even has its own beautiful mile-long dog walk, which runs alongside woodland and farmland where deer and honey buzzards can be seen, along with a warm doggy shower for muddy paws!
Fire pits and BBQs are welcome, as long as they are raised from the ground and can be hired from the onsite shop.

A note from the site themselves...
One of the reasons we love owning and running Wallace Lane Farm is the fact we get to meet so many people, living on site means we often get to know our guests who return year after year.
In the rural location we are its great to see families escaping the every day and exploring woodland and fields around the site together, then later huddled up around a fire pit toasting marshmallows under a star filled sky.
