Relaxing and peaceful stay. It was cold and raining outside which made it all the more perfect for getting the log burner going and having a cosy night in the yurt.

    “A little gem of a place! They have thought of everything you'll need and the facilities are spotlessly clean. We had a blissful evening around the fire looking at the stars. Wish we'd booked for a longer stay!”

Company info

Small Family run business We ( Clare & Henry ) first came up with the idea of starting a small-scale glamping site when we moved to the neighbouring thatched Cottage in 2018. Moving from a busy town in Essex to a remote Valley in Suffolk brought about a mix of emotions but mostly excitement and inner peace. As a psychotherapist Clare recognised the healing potential of the surroundings. The healing energy and stunning countryside, offer an ideal place of sanctuary and retreat . Set in the heart of the Stour Valley and surrounded by open countryside we offer a real escape to the country where we focus on health and well-being. We are planning a number of retreats. Retreats and workshops to include meditation, relaxation, eco-therapy, mindful walking, art, music, rèiki, eft, yoga and dance. Further details will be updated on our Facebook page @longmelfordglamping . We hope it will become a “healing place” for those looking to get away from the stresses of life and unwind.
