Overlooking a lake and surrounded by greenery on the fringes of the pretty Suffolk village of Hintlesham, this safari-style retreat offers a peaceful escape for families and friends, with lovely walks beginning from the doorstep.
This rural hideaway sits alongside other tents on a family-run, boutique glamping site. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner that welcomes you into this quirky safari tent provides space for your whole pack to relax, cook and dine. Your four-pawed pal won’t be able to resist snoozing beside the wood burner as you lose yourself in the beauty of the natural tones, textures and handcrafted touches. The rustic yet stylish kitchen is a haven for budding chefs, offering everything required to tame the growl of hungry stomachs, whilst the farmhouse-style dining set and comfy sofa add to the cosy ambience. There are three gorgeous bedrooms on offer, a king-size, a king-size cabin bed accessed by ladder steps, and a bunk bedroom, which promise a peaceful rest. Outside, there’s plenty of space to stretch out legs and paws, with a decked area overlooking the lake, a sunny patio area, a wood-fired hot tub, and lovely walks through the shared woodland. Ample off-street parking is available 50 metres away.
You’ll have a ball exploring the acres of surrounding ancient woodland with your canine companion, home to plenty of stick-throwing opportunities. Take the lead to Dedham Vale, 10 miles away, to enjoy the tail-wagging landscapes of Constable Country. Treat your pup to an afternoon of bounding through the waves, strolling along the promenade and sniffing the floral displays in the seafront gardens at the coastal town of Felixstowe, 18 miles away. Explore the intricate network of beautiful brick buildings at Snape Maltings, 24 miles away, to sniff out some fabulous local produce across the array of shops and wonderful dog-friendly cafes.
