Dawn Chorus Holidays - Tent

About this property

The New Chaffinch and Goldfinch Safari Tents are almost identical to their predecessors – except they’re stronger, better equipped and even more spacious.

In the living area, there’s an eight-seater dining table and chairs, comfortable sofa and lounge chairs, and a wood-burning stove. The kitchen contains a fridge, integrated two-stove hob, sink, cooking equipment, crockery, and cutlery. Bathroom facilities include an electric shower, bathroom sink, and flush toilet.

All rooms have electric lighting.

With a double bed in the master bedroom, twin single beds in the second bedroom, a double cabin bed, and a sofa bed in the living area, each safari tent sleeps up to eight people.

Our Chaffinch and Goldfinch Safari Tents are top-of-the-range glamping units, but we know that our guests love to be outdoors. For alfresco dining, each of the safari lodges has a firepit-cum-barbecue and a private picnic table. There’s lots of space for children to play (we provide an exciting selection of outdoor toys!) as adults relax around a glowing fire and watch stars appearing in the darkening sky.

Dogs are welcome

Dawn Chorus Holidays is set on a farm in the countryside surrounding Beccles, in the Waveney Valley.  It offers unique accommodations in African-style tents and traditional-style shepherd's huts, each with a private bathroom and electrical sockets. 

Opening onto a covered porch area, each tent reflects the design of a safari lodge with wooden floors and a vaulted canvas roof.  With sleeping areas, the tents include a wood burning stove and a kitchen area with an electric hob and kitchenware.  The tents have running water, and bed linen and towels are provided. 

The shepherd's hut-style lodges feature a caravan-like design with wooden features and a stable door.  Each has modern comforts, with private bathrooms and a kitchen. 

The surrounding Suffolk countryside is ideal for fishing and hiking, and staff at Dawn Chorus can help you to arrange bike rental.  The property offers easy access to the Norfolk border and Southern Broads. 

Southwold, Lowestoft and the coast can be reached within 25 minutes by car.  Norwich and Great Yarmouth are within 20 miles.

Meet the Owners

BOB & helen

Hi, our names are Bob & Helen. We were originally from Essex, met in Young Farmers and married in 1991. Bob’s family owned a dairy farm with sheep and pigs.

I trained as a chef working in various kitchens and when our children came along, Hannah and Ollie, I did some out-side catering. Now my passion is the holiday lets. In my spare time I love walking our three dogs, short breaks away, socialising and skiing.

Bob still loves looking after the animals and making sure they are all kept to high welfare standards. His passions are also walking the dogs, entertaining and skiing.

Hannah and Ollie are still living at home, at the moment, both are in the farming industry. Hannah is a buyer of potatoes and Ollie is agriculture engineer.

Property info

We are a small working farm with chickens, sheep, cows and pigs.

Our Glamping Site is set in its own large field; the two safari tents and three shepherds are all very well spaced out with their own individual BBQ. Each self-contained unit, some of which are dog friendly, is beautifully furnished with a private bathroom and kitchen. Ideal for couples, families or a large group of friends to book the whole site. Please remember this is not a party site and we ask you to be quiet after 10pm.

You can collect your own eggs, see the farm animals at close range, listen to the wildlife or just sit by the camp fire and watch the stars. We also have a selection of outdoor toys.
