The private shower room offers a convenient and welcoming touch, and there’s a private compost loo at the rear of the tent. Step outside and take in the open views across the fields from your covered veranda.

It’s an ideal setting for al fresco dining or simply soaking up the peace of the countryside. When evening falls, light the campfire or fire up the BBQ, then end your day with a dip in your own wood-fired hot tub under the stars.

Adjacent to the glamping field is a centuries-old three-acre oak and bluebell woodland, which is private to the farm, where children can dam streams, make dens and play hide-and-seek, it's also perfect for dog walking. With eco-friendly features, a welcoming atmosphere and plenty of space to unwind, this safari tent is the perfect base for a memorable glamping getaway.
