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.
