Description
The Property - Acquired by the current owners approximately 6 years ago, Bloomfield has since flourished as a successful, family-run glamping business, enjoying a strong return clientele with approximately 70% repeat bookings.
Set in over 7 acres and accessed via a no-through road, the site features five individually positioned yurts and a safari tent, thoughtfully arranged to ensure privacy and a tranquil experience.
At the entrance, guests are welcomed by a gravel parking area, reception hut, and an honesty shop offering essentials and local gifts. A winding path leads from here to the safari tent and each of the five yurts, each with its own private outdoor area.
The yurts, named Oak, Willow, Maple, Beech & Poplar, can sleep up to five and are tastefully appointed with wood burners and soft lighting. Each includes an outdoor kitchen unit and a covered dining area. The safari tent, Twiggy, added around two years ago, sleeps up to five and offers two comfortable bedrooms.
Guests share a well-equipped Shower and Toilet Block powered by solar electricity, with mains water, gas heaters for hot water, and a private package sewage system.
A key feature of the site is the charming lake—just under an acre—stocked with carp, mirror carp, perch, and tench. It also supports a thriving habitat for local wildlife and plants. Smaller ponds, winding paths, and play areas such as a bug barn, rope swing, trampoline, and woodland games further enhance the family-friendly appeal.
