With four separate glamping sites to choose from in Rutland, Suffolk, Somerset and Lancashire, each destination offers the same high levels ofcomfort and luxury but with its own unique qualities.
The homely canvas-wrapped three-bedroom retreats are perfect for families, and for an additional fee your four-legged friend can come along too.
Furnished front terraces, open-plan living areas, spacious bedrooms, private bathrooms and individual fire-pits arejust some of the features you can expect to find on a stay with Lantern& Larks – but as each site is so unique, after a stay at one, you’ll want to visit the rest!
