As if that wasn’t enough, you can also expect plenty of outdoor luxury from Secret Meadows, complete with a friendly team on site who are dedicated to maintaining the very highest of standards. Think gorgeously stylish and cosy creature comforts, all set amongst the very best that nature has to offer!

Located within a 115-acre nature reserve on the organic White House Farm in Suffolk, you will be blissfully surrounded by idyllic scenes of nature that feature wildflower meadows, woodland, ancient trees and ponds…all teeming with local wildlife. You’ll even find a turf labyrinth to get delightfully lost in, and a tree circle that marks the changing seasons.

Perfect for families, couples and groups alike, simply choose your dream-like accommodation from luxury lodge tents, a romantic gypsy caravan with shepherd’s hut …or for those who hanker after quirky storybook-style luxury, how about bedding down in the themed converted horsebox?

Wherever you choose, you can be assured of well thought-out, exquisitely furnished accommodation that resemble anything but the traditional tent. You’ll have your very own private toilet and hot shower (no queuing for communal bathrooms here), a cosy wood burner, freshly-made beds and a well-equipped kitchen with organic linen.

Not to mention your own barbecue, fire bowl and outdoor picnic table…for those times when only al fresco dining amongst the emerging stars will do.

The luxury lodge tents are a thing of natural beauty. Sleeping up to six people in each one, and nestled in its own private wooded area complete with soothing meadow views, you’ll find everything you need for a five-star holiday in this nature-inspired home from home – including a four-poster bed, a comfy sofa and a candle chandelier.

More information

Brought a few more people along? Upgrade to the two-storey luxury lodge tents, which each sleep up to eight guests and are reliably imbued with the wow-factor! Along with a four-poster bedroom there’s a double bed cleverly ‘hidden’ in a downstairs cupboard, while at the top of the wooden staircase awaits two cosy rooms – one double and one single – that both overlook the gently-rustling trees.

The vintage-style gypsy caravan, along with a shepherd’s hut that cleverly provides a charming kitchen area, sleeps up to four people. You’ll find this super-stylish accommodation nestling in a secluded meadow area, complete with hammock and deck chairs.

You’ll find a double bed in the gypsy caravan itself, and another in the shepherd’s hut – along with a squishy sofa and plenty of room to dine.

The converted horsebox is perfect for up to four people who want to imbue a sense of natural adventure and a sprinkle of magic into their getaway! Discover a refreshingly rustic theme throughout, with views of ancient woodland from the round windows.

Now that you’ve chosen your favourite place to rest those life-weary heads, how about a spot of on-site adventure? Perhaps begin by hiring your own private hen coop, complete with feed and bedding, for you to take care of a few friendly hens throughout your stay. Kids will adore den building in the great outdoors, meeting the animals or discovering the mysterious beauty of the labyrinth.

How about returning home with a brand-new skill? Bushcraft, and whittling are all available on-site, or for those looking for a more luxurious and relaxing way to spend their time, a session in the wood-fired hot tub simply can’t be beaten…

…unless you decide to try a yoga lesson, or take advantage of the local therapists’ offer to pamper you in the comfort of your new holiday home. How about ordering a luxury breakfast hamper, or a barbecue pack, to really set the holiday mood?

You’ll soon find that the friendly team at Secret Meadows care just as much about your stay as they do the local environment. So for a thought-filled getaway that’s as naturally adventurous as it is luxuriously relaxing, come and experience Secret Meadows for yourself…before the secret gets out!

What the guests of Secret Meadows say

“We really enjoyed our stay at Secret Meadows. We felt really at home and welcomed by Ross when we arrived and during our stay. The facilities are amazing and very high standard with super clean bathroom, toilet and kitted out kitchen. The beds are so comfortable – we enjoyed our sleeps so much! Very cosy blankets and pillows! The environment is so family friendly and we loved collecting eggs from the chicken coop. There’s enough space in between each accommodation so we had enough private space. We can’t wait to tell all our friends about this and can’t recommend it enough. Thank you so much Charlotte and Ross (and team) for making this a wonderful place to stay.”
The Filipe Family and the Danso Family, London

“This is our third time here and it was just as magical as before. It’s lovely to see the site at different times of year too. Perfect combination of relaxed time outdoors, the kids playing happily with others of a similar age, slow cooked food and a very comfy night’s sleep!”
C. L. L, London

“We have had an amazing time. The lodge tents are absolutely beautiful, the surroundings are breathtaking and Ross and Charlotte could not have been more kind or helpful. We loved the pantry – great idea, and the visit to the cows! (Thanks Ross!) We can’t wait to come back!”
H. G, Whitstable
