Tucked away at the end of an ancient drovers' road in the East Anglian countryside, Old Waterworks Boutique Glamping is a one-acre glamping getaway under a mile from Clare, Suffolk's oldest town. With gorgeous views over the area and very little background noise, this glamping spot is on the site of a natural spring, hence its past life as an Edwardian waterworks. The site isn't shy about showcasing its industrial heritage and makes a point of upcycling as much as it can, but this is also a place for nature, peace and quiet. There are several communal seating areas where you can soak up the atmosphere, one of which is in an old filtration pit, which handily provides shelter from the elements. The site is run by Ben and Netty, who have created a mix of industrial and cosy accommodation. All units come with access to a kitchen, showers and toilets, with toiletries provided. Although the units differ in terms of how they are decorated, each has proper beds, bedding, blankets and hot water bottles. Barbecue packs can be bought too, and for other drinks and snacks an honesty shop system is in place. Clare can be reached within about 15 minutes' walk and has restaurants, pubs and independent shops to explore. There are a number of trails along the river Stour to try out, with many footpaths starting directly at the site gates.

Tyckte om: Lovely bell tent with a nice Asian theme, also lovley atmosphere around the camp. Ben and netty were very welcoming and were there to help if needed. Our bbq was not cleaned however ben and netty were very quick to clean this for us. They were very helpful and answered any questions that we had. Lovely walks that u can go on around the surroundings of the campsite.

Tyckte inte om: Me and my friends have not really been camping so the only dislikes was the bugs quite a few little beetles in the tent and surroundings which resulted in us not being able to sleep and one crawled over my head whilst sleeping. No fault to the campsite as this is camping! Also the little lane driving up to the campsite off the main road was not the best roads to drive up. There were some overgrown bushes which made the road very tight. Also if u have a fairly low car to be warned. I have a puma ST that we took I would say the lane was not necessarily practical for my car due to being uneven and rocky. I would give more stars for the location however the off road part let's it down.

Tyckte om: Laid back, friendly, peaceful site. If you're looking for a high end manicured glamping site (where you'd pay double the price) then this is not for you. If you are looking for a quiet, comfy and well equipped place with good sized tents and a friendly welcome then it is. Ben and Nettie live on site in the summer so are around to help. Ben lights the communal fire pit in the evening. The kitchen (fridge, hob, oven, microwave, kettle) is shared with them so has many utensils, crockery, condiments, herbs etc to use. Cereal, bread and milk are ther in the morning for all to share. If you want a BBQ just ask Ben and he will bring one over to your tent. There is running hot water in the sinks and electric showers in a repurposed horsebox. The site itself is an old Edwardian Waterworks with the industrial tanks still seen in the ground. So there are some bits and pieces lying around but the tents are positioned around a grassy circle perfect for the kids to play in. Mine found a croquet and kubbs set, they also liked the swings and hammocks. You can walk 15 minutes on footpaths and across Clare common to reach the town. There are footpaths leading directly from the site so a walkers dream. Lovely sunset over the fields. The tent was spacious and comfy with proper mattresses, blankets and fresh bedding. Hot water bottles are in the kitchen for use. You could honestly turn up just with your clothes and dinner and you'd be provided with all you need. We will be returning next year with more friends. I also really value places that allow you to book just one night. I didnt get WiFi at the tent but I think you can get a signal at the entrance, to be honest, this wasn't a priority for me when switching off in a peaceful location with a book.

Tyckte om: The tent was wonderful, comfy beds and plenty of space. Quiet, rural location just off the beaten track (literally) but close to the small historic town of Clare. We took a short walk into town for a great Sunday lunch, wander around the church and to explore Clare country park and only a 15 minute stroll. Perfect! Facilities kept clean and tidy by the lovely Mary and plenty of choice for breakfast in the kitchen too. The children spent hours using the hammocks and tree swings which were a great idea. Beautiful views all around, the sunset was gorgeous.

Tyckte inte om: Not a dislike but be mindful that some places are closed on Mondays including the fish and chip shop.

Tyckte om: Beautiful place, the tents were a lot bigger then i thought and the design on the tipi are great, the staff are friendly and the location is good for stargazing and has a relaxed feel, especially with the campfire at night. There are multiple walk routes in the area and Clare town is under a 20 minute walk away.

Tyckte om: We loved the location, the village and the water works. We especially liked how welcomed we were, the owners lit a camp fire on our return from a visit to the village pub. The glamping tent was set out well and we all had a good night sleep. Facilities were all there with basics provided and with plans on improvement to the site aswell I understand.

Tyckte om: Great communication prior to our stay. The site was so lovely, lovely welcome from Ben & Netty & (mum) shown around everything. The facilities are great. Great use of space and resources love the horse box showers. Everything is provided- I definitely overpacked when I needed not to. breakfast items are provided, towels,bedding fully functional kitchen with all utensils you’d possibly need. you don’t need anything at all- simply just show up. Our bell tent was amazing myself and my boys loved it! Very clean and beautiful, fresh bedding (smelt lovely & fresh) - so nice hearing the birds in the morning. The campfire gets lit nightly with the opportunity for roasting marshmallows. (Huge hit) a Beverage was also offered upon our arrival. Absolutely Love what they are offering here. You will not find a most affordable lovely friendly inclusive site. I travelled alone with my sons the site felt safe and secure with a fantastic environment. Ben & Netty we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you guys 😀

Tyckte om: Peaceful spot, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Perfect place to relax and recharge. Nice walk into town through fields and past some allotments. Ben & Netty are perfect hosts who couldn’t do enough for you. Highlight of the stay was getting to see the amazing barn owl who visits at dusk every night to hunt in the field next to the campsite.

Lokala sevärdheter

Clare has timber-framed houses to see, as well as a wealth of antiques shops, tea rooms to try and the ruins of a Norman fortress in Clare Castle Country Park Trust to visit. Clare Priory should also be on the agenda, as should nearby historic villages like Long Melford (15 minutes) and Lavenham (20 minutes), which have more pretty medieval buildings to discover. For more East Anglian countryside, you're about half an hour from the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on the Essex border or an hour from the Suffolk Heritage Coast. You could also take yourself off for rambles around National Trust properties like Kentwell Hall (20 minutes) or Melford Hall (15 minutes), or make a day of it punting past historic colleges on The Backs in Cambridge (50 minutes). After a day out shopping, bar hopping or sampling traditional Suffolk ales? Both Bury St Edmunds (30 minutes) and Ipswich (an hour) have a range of shops, food spots and breweries where you can experience the best treats that this rural region has to offer.
