About Woodchests Glamping
Set in two acres of peaceful countryside you'll find three family friendly ensuite safari tents, each individually named Oak, Maple and Horn Beam, sleeping up to six guests. The family run site is also being transformed by planting native trees and hedgerows alongside the woodland, to offer a tranquil stay with nature. Once you've settled in, you'll have free use of a double bedroom, bunk bedroom and a snug raised double cabin bed with space below offering extra storage or a great den for the little ones to have fun in. Travel cots and high chairs are also available on request, but please bring your own bedding for the cot bed. Your living area is open plan and fully furnished, great for chilling out in the evening. There is also a kitchen area equipped with everything you'd need including crockery, cutlery and utensils. To keep you nice and cosy, there will also be a Provence stove gas heater for those cooler evenings. Outside is a decking area with a table and chairs, a wood-fired grill and a pizza oven, perfect for alfresco dining or star gazing. Why not add a little extra space and hire an unfurnished bell tent? Great if you're inviting a couple of additional people or even for the kids to have their own space. Bring your fishing rod and make the most of the impressive 19 acre fishing lake on site, filled with carp, pike, tench, bream and hybrids. Tickets are available to purchase from the site. Sorry, no pets are allowed. The site also offers exclusive hire of all three safari tents and six wild camping pitches for up to 30 guests.
Open from 1 April to 1 November
Each safari tent has a bathroom to the rear, including a hot shower, basin and a flushing toilet. Other facilities include an outdoor wood fired grill/pizza oven and fire, solar lighting and charging points.
Less than a ten minute drive away is the town of Halstead. Here you will find a Sainsburys, Co-op and Lidl as well as local shops and an array of pubs including the White Hart Inn, The Dorringon and Whispers Tapas Wine Bar. The Kings Head Pebmarsh is also a 20 minute walk away.

Me and my two children had a great stay here in October - wholesome fun with lots of space outside to play in the day, then in the evening toast marshmallows on the fire. The children really loved the cabin bed! Check in was very good - Tim showed me how to use everything. The tent is in a secluded area so best for 2 adults as opposed to a single adult with children.
A good place to stay and relax

Great place to have peace and quiet. Accommodating and welcoming host. Place is almost complete for glamping. Totally off grid. Simple yet relaxing.
