About Wheatfields Luxury Glamping

The site is the perfect place to unwind, relax and play away from everyday life. With only two tents on site, generously spaced apart and fully equipped with everything you need. The breathtaking scenery at this family-run farm almost mimics an African savannah with big skies, amazing sunsets, and all-important peace and quiet. There are wildflowers, a grass maze and a badminton court to complete the scene. The night sky is also amazing with no light pollution. Perfect for a luxury family break, the site's two safari tents enjoy a secluded location, sleeping eight to ten people and bursting with home comforts, including three/four separate bedrooms, a kitchen and a living area with a wood-burning stove and gorgeous shower rooms. A master double room includes a four-poster double bed, but you'll also find a cabin bed for two, and the bunk room sleeps four but is versatile, changing to two twin rooms if required. Comfy beds in all the tents are made with beautiful natural bed linen and soft towels. The kitchen includes a two-ring gas hob, fridge, kettle, coffee cafetiere, crockery, wine and soft drink glasses, cutlery and cooking utensils. Coffee, tea, sugar, olive oil and balsamic vinegar are all included. The living area has a large comfy sofa with loads of space to get cosy next to the wood-burning stove. Outside the safari tents, guests can enjoy the use of a fire pit with a batch of wood supplied while away the night, toasting marshmallows and watching the amazing sunset. Both tents also enjoy an outdoor kitchen/ Bar with a gas BBQ/griddle and pizza oven with a bar area. Both tents now have hot tubs sitting at the back of the decks great for sitting and enjoying the sunsets and spectacular views of the ancient cliff of the Isle-of-Oxney and the Saxon Shore Way. Sandpiper also has extra space for two more people in the lovely bell tent with its old double iron bed. Included in the price. A travel cot (supplied) fits in the main bedrooms. A high chair is also available on request. Private parking is available for up to two cars per tent. Extra cars can be parked securely in the farm yard. This is a working farm, so large machinery is in use. You and your kids are invited to have a ride in a tractor or in the combine harvester during harvest. In short, the site has it all and you can bring your dog along too! Max of two dogs per tent per stay.

A note from the site themselves...

We stay in the tents as much as we can, when there's a free night, that is! Not only because we love it, but we can check they have everything to make our guests comfortable. We sleep so well, and the light, quietness and wildlife are beautiful.

This all came about when some friends camped on the site a few years ago and said we should look into having a glamping site. With busy lives on the farm, we had taken for granted what we had. I'm so pleased we finally did. It's been great meeting all our happy guests, and it's all worthwhile when they keep coming back time and time again.

Safari Tent - Sandpiper Safari TentJun 2024

Just wow! The Sandpiper Tent was an incredible weekend away for a group of couples. Penny and Jim really have thought about everything you could need, from the array of kitchen utensils, to the variety of indoor and outdoor activities. The land the tent is on provided us with long sunset evening walks with a glass of wine, finished with toasting marshmallows at the fire pit and the most beautiful views! Penny and Jim provided us with a cool box that we requested as soon as we arrived and responded instantly to any questions we had. The tent is set up for both cooler and warmer nights/days with lots of blankets, hot water bottles and indoor fire should you need it. We really couldn't have asked for any more, and we will be returning again for more cosy weekends! Thank you again for making our stay so special.

Safari Tent - Sandpiper Safari TentMay 2024

We stayed in Skylark for 2 nights and were absolutely blown away by how good it was. The safari tent was so much better than we anticipate, the surroundings and location were ideal. No detail was missed and we can't wait to stay again. I stayed at Wheatfields for my hen do with 8 other friends/ family and we have all agreed it was an absolutely perfect stay. Penny and Jim went above and beyond to make us comfortable and they had thought of everything from hot water bottles, cosy fleece lined outdoor shoes, fresh and modern towels, wild flowers everywhere. We really didn't want to leave. The fire put with logs and kindling provided was such a bonus and all the utensils provided in the safari tent were great quality and as good as new. Thank you- we would definitely recommend. Beautiful!

Site's response

Thank you, Caroline. We try to stay, when there is gap, as much as we can as we love it too and means we can check everything is up to scratch. Nothing worse than a blunt knife! Your review makes all the hard work worth while so thank you for your positive comments. Do hope to see you back again sometime soon. All the best, Penny & Jim.

Super site and very well equipped

Safari Tent - Skylark Safari TentApr 2022

This is such a super site. The skies are amazing. We were very lucky with the weather which helped but there is a good indoor stove and lovely fire pit to warm up. We stayed in Skylark. We loved having a front and rear deck. The back was sunny in the morning and the front in the afternoon. The safari tent had everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Penny was very relaxed and welcoming. Her communication was excellent and she was very helpful if we asked anything.

Site's response

Thank you Sian for your lovely review. It was lovely seeing you and your family enjoying the tent. I'm so pleased Skylark lived up to your expectations. We try very hard to make Wheatfields stand out, making sure it has everything for a fun and relaxing break away from everyday life. Hope to see you back sometime in the future.
