Upmarket glamping usually means shepherds huts or safari tents, but at the delightfully named Glamp and Tipple at Rookery Farm in South Norfolk they have managed to stay true to their roots while still offering about as luxurious a glamping experience as you'll find. This small, luxury, five yurt site is very versatile and well-equipped for both families and couples, not to mention a fantastic option if you're planning a birthday party or special event for a larger group.
There are just five super-spacious yurts in all, each one of which is heated and fitted out with a proper bed while retaining all the back-to-nature charm of the glamping experience, with a log burner, twinkling fairylights, undercover cooking space, barbecue, picnic table, firepit and private covered wood-fired hot tub just steps from your door. Each yurt has a designated on site private bathroom with flushing toilet and a power shower. You also have unlimited electricity, WIFI and free parking for the duration of your stay.
There is a shared covered communal area with chill-out space, pool table, darts, table football, table tennis and giant outdoor games. There are also lots of optional extras to choose from such as in-yurt cinemas, decoration packages, private beauty treatments, pizza oven hire, and onsite bespoke catering if you want it – just bring the bubbly. Indeed even the yurt themselves are individually named after champagne brands!
Don't forget also that you're in Norfolk and there's lots to explore in this thoroughly rural county, with oodles of country walks, country pubs, the Broads National Park on your doorstep and the lure of Breckland and the vast expanse of Thetford Forest a short drive away. But the real reason for staying is in the name. This is a place to relax and take a break, to enjoy the outdoors with a glass of champagne in hand, where you can forget about the stress of daily life and spend your evening doing what you’re meant to: glamping and tippling!
