Dawn Chorus Holidays offer two spacious safari-style canvas lodges and three shepherd huts, set on a working farm near the beautiful market town of Beccles. Children will delight in the space, fresh air and seeing how a working farm works and parents will love to be able to switch off and have a deserved break from hectic lifestyles. This is a time to get away from all things modern and resort back to nature.
Luxury camping or glamping attracts families who want to experience the best bits of camping without the hassle of having to bring your own tent or put it up. It allows you more leisure time to enjoy your holiday, unwind and get close to nature without compromising on style or comfort. These luxury tents offer a chic alternative to traditional camping with plenty of living space. This is camping that parents will enjoy just as much as the children!
The New Chaffinch and Goldfinch Safari Tents are almost identical to their predecessors – except they’re stronger, better equipped and even more spacious.
In the living area, there’s an eight-seater dining table and chairs, comfortable sofa and lounge chairs, and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen contains a fridge, integrated two-stove hob, sink, cooking equipment, crockery, and cutlery. Bathroom facilities include an electric shower, washbasin, and flush toilet.
All rooms have electric lighting.
With a double bed in the master bedroom, twin single beds in the second bedroom, a double cabin bed, and a sofa bed in the living area, each safari tent sleeps up to eight people.
Our Chaffinch and Goldfinch Safari Tents are top-of-the-range glamping units, but we know that our guests love to be outdoors. For alfresco dining, each of the safari lodges has a firepit-cum-barbecue and a private picnic table. There’s lots of space for children to play (we provide an exciting selection of outdoor toys!) as adults relax around a glowing fire and watch stars appearing in the darkening sky.
The Pines is a small working farm run by the Bradshaw family with chickens producing free range eggs, sheep and a few cattle. The Pines has a small farm shop where you can buy homegrown meat, plus eggs, preserves and other items.
