Hold onto your hats because we’ve been working with Gladwins Farm for a whopping 10 years now, and let me tell you, it’s a match made in family-friendly heaven!
Nestled in the charming countryside of Suffolk, Gladwins Farm is THE place to be for families with little ones – and even the furry members are welcome to join in on the fun!
Let’s talk properties – Gladwins has a range of baby and toddler-friendly cottages and brand-spanking-new lodges that’ll make you feel right at home. From cosy cottages perfect for a romantic retreat with your baby in tow to larger lodges and the Farmhouse, that can accommodate extended family or a special gathering with friends, there’s something for everyone. Plus, some cottages even come with private hot tubs for that extra touch of luxury!
Let’s dive into the exciting part – the family-friendly activities onsite! Take a stroll along the accessible woodland trails, where you’ll be guided through woodlands and have the chance to spot wildlife and their friendly farm residents. Don’t forget to swing by the Visitor Centre, where you can grab some animal feed just in case the furry friends are feeling a bit peckish. Don’t forget to swing by the Visitor Centre, where you can not only grab some animal feed but also pick yourself up a freshly brewed coffee or indulge in a delightful selection of homemade frozen meals by COOK. Need some entertainment? Borrow toys, balls, tennis racquets, or DVDs for endless family fun. Plus, they have you covered with leaflets, maps of the local area, and recommendations for exciting days out.
Now let’s talk playtime – Gladwins has got your children covered with an outdoor playground that’ll knock their socks off! They can swing on the swings, rock on the Rocking Rooster, or let their imagination run wild in the Wendy house complete with a kitchen. For the more adventurous, bounce away on the trampoline, score a goal on the football pitch, or challenge their friends to a match on the tennis court. And don’t forget about the indoor fun – take a dip in the heated swimming pool or let loose in the indoor play barn stocked with toys and games for kids of all ages.
And there you have it – your Gladwins Farm adventure awaits! As partners with Gladwins for a decade, we’ve seen firsthand how perfect it is for families with young children. We couldn’t be prouder to continue recommending this fabulous place where kids can roam free and parents can relax.
And so to the luxury glamping ‘tents’
The tents are beautifully kitted out, with a corner sofa (which was very comfortable), double bedroom with double bed and white linen, duvet and throw, two further bedrooms with twin beds and bunk beds, all with the same quality linen and fluffy white towels.
The log store has an unlimited supply of logs that you can use for the AGA or fire pit or both! The kids enjoyed fetching our fire wood in the wheelbarrows, and each other!
The honesty shop has basic items for your stay like kindling, matches etc. plus fabulous tasting eggs. Just remember to bring perishable items like milk, etc. or order a breakfast box. Our box had everything needed for our first morning. It was packed with local produce; eggs, bacon, sausages, bread, juice and marmalade plus cereal, milk, butter, tea bags and sugar.
