Boyce Fen Farm Retreat

The Shepherd's huts nestled in the meadow

Rural glamping site on a farm near the Norfolk/Cambridgeshire border
Downham Market and King's Lynn within a half-hour drive
Smart shepherd's huts with kingsize bed and ensuite shower room

There are miles of fields all around at Boyce Fen Farm Retreat – and there’s a lake on site too, so you’re pretty much guaranteed lovely views wherever you look at this Norfolk site. And you’re guaranteed animals to entertain you, as well – whether you’re watching the ducks frolic on the lake, listening to the pedigree Limousin cattle mooing in the neighbouring field or having a chuckle at the antics of the pygmy goats scampering about on the ‘goat hill’. This glamping site is part of a working farm, and it’s certainly a rural setting – but it’s not far at all from local amenities. These are nearby in the village of Outwell (just over a mile away), which has a classic pub, a hotel restaurant/bar, a mini supermarket and a cluster of takeaways. The accommodation here is in the form of shepherd’s huts that are completely self-contained and set up in a meadow full of grasses and wildflowers to give you that fabulous feel of a real rural retreat. The huts have been designed to be truly high-spec – each one has underfloor heating, an ensuite shower room, a Freeview TV and a splendid kingsize bed – plus a comfy pull-out sofa bed for those bringing the kids. The kitchen space has a microwave, two-ring hob, fridge, kettle and toaster, and there’s dining space for four, so you should be sorted for indoor cooking and eating. Or how about outdoor cooking and eating? The lovely views are bound to entice you out into the open, where each hut has a spacious garden area with seating and a barbecue.
