About Acton Scott Escapes

If you are searching for peace and quiet, you have found the right spot. This family and dog friendly glamping site offers a relaxed, rural experience and promises a care-free adventure for all. You will also be only 20 minutes from the England and Wales border, great for exploring further afield! The site offers one luxury safari tent which sleeps up to five people. Inside is a spacious open-plan living room and fully-equipped kitchen with a dining table, along with a double bedroom and a secondary bedroom with a single bed and bunk beds. For keeping toasty on those cooler evenings, you will also have a wood burning stove, along with a luxury modern ensuite with shower. Enjoy an evening drink on the terrace whilst the kids play one of the board games in the living room and see if you can spot a deer at sunset. There is also one shepherd hut on site, perfect for couples with a woodburning stove to have a cosy evening on those chiller nights. The kitchenette is fully equipped with a stove, microwave, oven and a fridge so you can be completely self catered. Equipped with underfloor heating and a double bed with 100% cotton bedding for a truly luxurious stay. The safari tent and shepherd hut also has a BBQ and a bookable private hot tub, from which you can watch the stars in peace, except for the occasional crackle of the wood-fired stove. There is electricity and hot water inside too, so you don't have to live completely off-grid! The helpful visitor information section in the shop includes the 'Wander Wall', where you'll find details of local hikes and activities for all ages and abilities. Your friendly host Tam can also give you recommendations for things to do throughout your stay in addition to those provided in your handbook. There are also a variety of extras which can be booked during the checkout process. These include a glass bottle of fresh milk which can be refilled at the next-door organic dairy, a high chair, travel cot and an entertainment set for children.
