About Norfolk Brickyard
Nestled amongst an old brickyard, this off-grid site allows guests to switch off, unwind and take a breath of fresh air. Just a stone's throw from stretches of glorious sandy beaches, guests can either relax by their tents in the peaceful countryside or venture out for days of swimming, walking or sunbathing. The site offers three fully furnished safari tents, perfect for a family or group getaway. The Brickmaker's Retreat tent sleeps up to four guests, equipped with a luxurious 4-poster kingsize bed, a bunk bed and a wood-burning stove. You will also have all the furnishings you could expect from a hotel room including a dresser, seating and a sofa. Similarly, the Abbott's Rest tent accommodates up to four guests with a king size 4-poster bed, two single futon mattresses and a wood-burner for those cooler evenings. The larger tent, Keeper's Hide, can sleep up to eight guests. The two-story tent comes with two double rooms and four single beds on the upper deck, great for two families holidaying together. All of the safari tents have their own large deck area, equipped with a table and chairs for al fresco dining, cook up a BBQ or toast some marshmallows whilst listening to the buzz of the wildlife around you. You will also have a two-ring gas burner and a campfire with a grill, for a rustic cooking experience. Without WiFi there are endless games to be played and memories to be made! Facilities are just a short walk from the tent, including a hot shower! Please bring your own bedding. For those wanting a more traditional camping holiday, the site also offers eight wild camping pitches for tents and tourers. Guests can stroll around the old brickyard discovering it's history, the friendly owner is on hand to give you more detail! Or venture a ten minute drive away and spend days on the sandy beach swimming or sunbathing! Please note, the site is pet free. There is game onsite and traps for predators in the surrounding wilderness.
