Fellows Farm

CA · 1 unit
Welcome to Fellows Farm — 13 acres of organic Suffolk countryside, big skies and proper farm life.
Nestled in the village of Gosbeck, Fellows Farm is home to our family (Ben, Femke, Rory & Aran), our market garden, micro bakery, vineyard, weaving studio, flock of sheep — and a beautifully spaced, private campsite.
This is a working, Soil Association–certified organic farm where much of the food you’ll eat is grown metres from where you’ll sleep. Solar-powered, borehole-fed, and surrounded by pasture and wildlife, it’s a place to slow down, cook together, watch the sunset over 12-mile views and wake to birdsong.
Stay in one of our 5m bell tents (one with a double bed, one with a double + single) or our cosy shepherd’s hut, all thoughtfully scattered across the meadow for space and privacy. We also offer the whole site as a private campsite for up to 30 guests — perfect for gatherings, celebrations and retreats.
At the heart of the site is our beautiful barn with a wood-fired pizza oven, long dining tables, hot water, fridges and freezers, crockery and plenty of space to feast. Cook for yourselves or let us make pizzas (or something special) for you. Breakfast and seasonal produce boxes from our market garden are also available.
There’s a wildlife pond, fire pits and barbecues, a beer keg tap, and a sound system (with a gentle 11pm curfew for amplified music). Compost toilets and a heated rustic outdoor shower keep things comfortable but close to nature. Charging sockets are available in the barn.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome (just not in the sheep field).
We’re a short stroll from Gosbeck Wood (a Triple SSSI woodland), 15 minutes from the market town of Debenham, 20 minutes from Woodbridge, and around 45 minutes from the beautiful Suffolk coast. Coddenham community shop is a 5-minute drive (or a lovely hour’s walk). Helmingham Hall and its stunning walled garden are just down the road.
Come for dark skies, long tables, wood-fired evenings and food grown from the soil beneath your feet.

Nestled in a secluded wooded glade, Hill Cottage Holidays offers an off grid glamping experience where you don't have to compromise on comfort. Our glampsite is designed for eco-conscious travellers, wellness seekers, and adventure lovers. With exclusive woodland access, organic garden-to-table produce and holistic therapies on site, our glampsite provides a perfect balance of comfort, sustainability, and nature.
We are a deliberately small-scale rural site where just a handful of beautiful bell tents have been tucked away in a wooded glade within a private nature reserve. The focus here is on immersing yourself in your surroundings and escaping from the every day. Here you can be as off grid as you like and you can even book the whole site for your exclusive use if you prefer to holiday with your friends and family.
Handcrafted interiors featuring natural fibre bedding, rustic furnishings, and wood-burning stoves. Modern waterless toiles and hot showers—eco-friendly without compromising comfort - each tent has its own assigned toilet/shower, so no sharing. Welcome baskets available with seasonal homegrown organic fruit, vegetables, and freshly laid eggs.
The surrounding area has plenty of things to do – from castle visits to beach days. Or simply relax on site, lounging leisurely in a hammock, birdwatching, or listening to the sounds of the woods.
You won’t need to stress about packing – our tents are kitted out with all sorts of eco-friendly things including plush bedding, proper beds and woodburning stoves. Shared facilities include a kitchenette in a converted horsebox, firepit/barbecue area, games and activities for children.
Whether you are a couple seeking a romantic break, a family wanting to get back to nature, or a group wanting to holiday together Hill Cottage Holidays is the place for you.
If you have any queries, give us a call and we'll be happy to assist, or visit our website for more details.

Imagine having your very own private baby Lavender field on your doorstep?
Well now you can with our beautiful stargazer glamping accommodation
'The Flower Belle' with wood fired hot tub.
Situated on Benton End Flower farm in historic Hadleigh, The Flower Belle is a cross between a traditional belle tent and yurt, giving you the space you deserve.
The interior is beautiful and most importantly comfortable with a pretty double bed, beautiful linens, soft furnishings, wood burning stove, dressing table and clothes rail.
Outside are comfy seating areas, full size BBQ and tools, fire pit for your marshmallows, and a tantalising full size wood fired hot tub to soak away the evening sun!
The pretty solar lights light up the outside areas at night and there is also the clean and private eco loo just behind the accommodation.
Along with a lovingly converted pony trailer you step up into a full size kitchen with sink and mixer tap, double gas hob and small fridge perfect for your morning coffee and breakfasts.
At the rear of the pony box is a full size hot shower too! private and yours to use during your stay.
As The Flower Belle is situated on its very own field with baby lavender, you'll probably love flowers, which is good because we are an actual cut flower farm and in late August/September, the field in front of the lavender field is jam packed with dahlias and sunflowers!
Whilst you are here, why not join in one of our floral workshops?
Whether its a romantic break for two or two besties getting a well deserved trip away, you'll love The Flower Belle's relaxed atmosphere.
Situated in the town of historic Hadleigh, Suffolk, where there is endless things to do and see. Just 1.5 hours from London, 30 mins to the beach. 5 mins to a luxury spa, restaurants, pubs and independent shops galore.
We are very proud to be CERTIFIED by The Greener camping club. A compulsory membership of £12 is included in your booking rate.

Readers Field is a luxury glamping site with just four well-spaced 5m canvas bell tents, offering space, privacy, and peace. Each tent is thoughtfully furnished with a double bed, soft bedding, towels, and two extra airbed/futon mattresses, giving you comfort and room to relax. Everything you need is provided and included in the price, including a gas cooker, fire pit/BBQ, and a bag of firewood ready for your stay.
Looking for a countryside escape with friends or family? Readers Field can be booked exclusively, giving you full private access to all four bell tents and the entire site. It’s perfect for family getaways, small gatherings, or simply switching off in nature—with no one else around.
Just one hour from London, 30 minutes from Cambridge, and 25 minutes from Stansted Airport, Readers Field offers a relaxed, off-grid break in the heart of north Essex countryside. Set in a spacious six-acre field in Great Sampford, our independent site is all about slowing down and enjoying the simple pleasures of outdoor living.
To make your stay effortless, we provide a cool box with ice packs, cutlery, picnic-style crockery, chopping boards, knives, pots/pans, kettle, tea, coffee, sugar, and marshmallows to roast under the stars. The fire pit also doubles as a BBQ.
Guests have access to shared facilities, including a hot shower, flushing toilet, fridge/freezer, and a place to charge your devices, as well as an eco toilet in the field. A 5th bell tent is available for guests to relax or for children to play, stocked with books, comfortable seating, and a projector with screen. The projector can be rented when hiring the full site, and on weekends with mixed groups, children’s movies are shown for everyone. A small honesty shop provides essential items, and garden games are available for all guests to enjoy.
A short stroll leads to a friendly local pub, and the area is ideal for cycling and walking, with quiet country roads and beautiful scenery to explore.
Our family has lived here for 40 years and created Readers Field Glamping as a place to share what we love most: campfires, starry nights, fresh air, and a slower way of living. Whether you’re here for a short break or an exclusive group stay, we’d love to welcome you.

Group trip
The host was incredibly friendly and you could really tell that a lot of thought had gone into all the small details. The views were beautiful and the whole place had a really peaceful vibe.
The tents were clean, comfortable, and well set up. There were plenty of outdoor games and things to do, which made it even more fun for our group.
It did get a bit cold when it rained at night, but the wood burner kept us warm and cosy.
The cooking and BBQ facilities were excellent — everything we needed was there. The shower was warm and worked perfectly.
We also had fresh eggs for breakfast from their free-range chickens — you could actually see them wandering around, which made it even more special 😄
Overall, a really enjoyable experience and we’d definitely come back! 👍

My grandchildren and I have stayed at Brakehill Lodge Farm twice. It has proved to be our happy place. Peaceful, and just remote enough to escape the madding crowd.
Clare is a considerate host. She loves her home and all the nature it encompasses.
Try it...you will love ir too.😀

What a lovely place with lovely hosts!
Hosts/owners were so welcoming and accommodating, couldn’t help more if they tried. Beautiful site, bathroom and tents were both immaculate. Shower was hot and powerful, there is a flush toilet and an eco toilet (the eco toilet we were pleasantly surprised by, try it out!)
We came as 9 so hired two tents, both tents were beautiful, so clean inside and out, weather proof (it rained in the morning!) and the fairy lights around them looked lovely at night. The beds were very comfortable and we fell asleep in no time.
We spent our evening having a bbq, playing games and letting the children run wild! (Until 10pm!) firepit was great and toasted marshmallows and enjoyed a hot chocolate.
So many lovely little touches to this place and they really have gone out their way to think and provide you with everything you may need/want.
For some of the group this was the first experience of glamping and it was throughly enjoyed by all. Highly recommend this site, we will be returning! Thank you very much Stephen and Lisa! :)

We hired two bell tents for our family of 9 and throughly enjoyed our night here.
Immaculately clean, in the tents, bathrooms and site. They have thought of every extra little detail and provide you with everything and more you could need! Shower was hot (and powerful) they provide a flush toilet and also an eco toilet (after thinking it would be just a hole in the ground we were pleasantly surprised it looked like an actual toilet!!) we spent our evening having a BBQ, playing games, letting the children run wild and toasting marshmallows on the fire pit. The hosts were so lovely and couldn’t be more helpful if they tried. Highly recommended this site, this was some of the groups first time glamping and was very much enjoyed by all, we will definitely be returning. Thanks very much Stephen and Lisa :)

Where to go
Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB
Stretching across 440 square kilometres, roughly between Felixstowe and Lowestoft, the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB revolves around a series of superbly scenic east-coast estuaries fringed by shingle beaches, ancient woods and low-lying cliffs. Uncover the famed Algo-Saxon burial mounds at Sutton Hoo, spot wading birds at Orford Ness, catch a ferry around the magical deltas and head out cycling or hiking along the AONB’s miles of trails. Some of the county’s most beautifully positioned campsites are sprinkled around here.
Inland Suffolk
Sweeping west from the coast and inland from Ipswich, Suffolk’s interior unveils timeless villages, ancient mansions, vibrant market towns and wool-era churches. Explore historical Lavenham, architecture-rich Bury St Edmunds, pretty Long Melford and Thomas Gainsborough’s birthplace Sudbury, before setting up camp anywhere from a back-to-basics woodland site to riverside park with kayaks for hire.
Dedham Vale AONB
This 90-square-kilometre wonderland, north of Colchester on the Essex-Suffolk border, is famous for inspiring the work of Romantic English painter John Constable, with its rippling farms, delightful villages, serene woodlands and open meadows. Savour its artistic beauty over a stay in a converted shepherd’s hut, on a farmland campsite or in a glamping bell tent by the river, all with canoeing, paddle-boarding, fishing, cycling and hiking right on the doorstep.
Norfolk Broads
Immediately north of the Suffolk Coast & Heaths AONB, England’s east coast morphs into the vast wetlands of the ethereal Norfolk Broads National Park, known for its rare birds and wandering waterways, which demand in-depth exploration by boat, kayak or footpath.
