Dog-Friendly Glamping

Set on picturesque farmland, the same family have been farming here for over 40 years and the glamping site was designed by a family member as it was his ’happy place’ and we think you will soon discover that it is yours too. These bespoke, hand-built shepherd huts provide the perfect getaway for those looking for a great mix of glamping and contemporary facilities. The huts themselves have been designed to offer Romani-caravan style living in that all you will find inside is a beautifully appointed bedroom with a full-size double bed and a wardrobe. Don’t be fooled though, as these pretty little huts offer far more room than a traditional Romani-style caravan and make for a lovely space to relax and unwind. Each of these charming properties comes with access to a shared building housing individual private high-end bathrooms for each of the two units and a well-equipped shared kitchen and dining room. Choose Hedge Betty (the Norfolk slang for a Hedge Sparrow) and enjoy your own hot tub.
You can also bring your two dogs along to this hut, which is beautifully decorated in cool greys. Or choose Jill Hoot (UK36796) (that’s Norfolk for an owl!) which is pet free and therefore perfect for those with allergies and is decorated in a pretty beach-hut blue. Both huts have seating areas in the shared grounds and there is a shared fire pit perfect for toasting marshmallows too. The whole site is so private and secluded that there is very little light pollution, meaning that you will see a sky full of stars laid out like a sparkling blanket above you every night. It also offers daytime views across rolling fields and the chance to get close to nature as you will often find yourself sharing your space with local wildlife such as deer, pheasants and wild rabbits. There are even woodpeckers and buzzards around too, adding to the magic of this truly unique site.
So, if you’re looking for the magical glamping experience with a private hotel style bathroom just for you and a great night’s sleep in peaceful, natural surroundings, look no further. You have surely found your happy place! Hedge Betty has a private hot tub if booked independently (by direct arrangement with the owner), but both huts can be booked together to provide accommodation for four guests who can can share the hot tub. The Coast (Wells-next-the-Sea), The Broads (Wroxham) and the city (Norwich) all around 30 minutes. Hedge Betty can be booked together with Jill Hoot (UK36796) to accommodate up to 4 guests.
