About the site
In a secluded six-acre meadow, this working farm site offers a chance to reconnect with the wilderness and camp with unspoilt views of farmland and the Suffolk coastline. Perfect for the whole family and within a 15-minute walk of Southwold and its iconic beach huts. There are 30 spacious grass pitches within the meadow, all of which are non-electric and suitable for tents. Pitches are unmarked, allowing up to eight guests, with plenty of space so everyone can spread out with a relaxed feel to the place. The campsite also has four glamping pods on offer, each fully insulated with an ensuite shower room and double bed, with the addition of a mezzanine bunk in two of the pods for children. The pods have a handmade country-style kitchenette featuring a Belfast sink, hob and microwave oven, plus a TV and wood burner. The exterior decking allows guests to enjoy the outdoors at every opportunity. Each pod has a luxury wood-fired hot tub, an outside table and an area with outdoor seating and a fire pit with a grill to expand your cooking options. The pods are identical, with subtle interior differences, each spaced 20m apart providing plenty of privacy for guests in each pod. Dogs are welcome on the campsite, but please note that due to being a working livestock farm they must be kept on leads at all times. Two out of four of the glamping pods are also dog friendly. Fires are allowed in fire pits (as long as they meet the 'fire pit specifications' required by the campsite), and wood can be purchased onsite.
Camping is available from March until October. Glamping is open year round. Pitches from £36/night for 2 people.
