Sitting close to the border with Suffolk, all of the attractions of East Anglia are within reasonable reach. Norwich is a half hour drive (20 miles) away, with The Norfolk Broads stretching towards the coast just beyond the city. Thetford Forest Park is 20 miles in the other direction. The closest beaches are an hour away and the North Norfolk Coast, a little more.

Food & Drink
There’s an honesty shop with the basics on site and you couldn’t get much closer to the nearest farm shop; Rookery Meadows, just across the field and offering all sorts of local produce including breakfast boxes with everything you need for a full English.

For a meal or drink out, you can walk to The Crown in Great Ellingham a mile away. Or perhaps try The White Hart in Hingham or The Mulberry Tree White Lodge or Breckland Lodge in Attleborough. All are within five miles of site.

Following our success in 2020 with our luxury mobile glamping services, we are so happy to be adding to our brand with our luxury Glamping site in South Norfolk.
Our aim is to continue the high standards, luxury experience and bespoke finishing touches which we have become known for and, our clients, rightly expect from us.

Our site is set on a beautiful and bustling working farm in Great Ellingham on Watton Road which services farm and other traffic at various times of the day. Due to our location guests should expect that there will be a certain amount of activity around the site which can generate some noise but we hope this doesn’t impact on your enjoyment.

Our site has five luxury heated bell tent pitches, complete with an optional private wood fired hot tubs, allowing all our guests as much privacy as possible. Our aim is to give each and every guest a unique experience and we hope that our additional options will help us tailor each stay to your personal requirements. We are hoping to encourage those who have never spent a night under canvas to ‘give it try’ and hopefully be pleasantly surprised!

The aim on our site is to encourage those who have never spent a night under canvas to ‘give it try’ and hopefully be pleasantly surprised!

Knettishall Heath Country Park In summer it can feel just like another country: typical (yet still exciting!) lizards bask in the great outdoors on stones, skylarks sing above the gently swaying grasses and ponies and cattle graze within a stone's throw (never toss stones!), providing a household that is truly calm out. How often would you get one particular!? You may be fortunate enough to see roe and fallow deer within the woods and the certain area is normally festooned with white admiral butterflies. In the heath and meadows, you can find to spot the herd of semi wild Exmoor ponies, often bombling along together. These ponies are descended from Britain's normal pony that is wild of years ago! Due to them while the nesting wild birds March through July, dogs are never permitted to be off the lead them along if you bring.  Elements of this reserve are accessible by pushchair, wheelchair and mobility scooter but are muddy in occasionally winter.
