Luxury glampsite on the edge of the Broads National Park
A 20-minute drive from Lowestoft: shops, stately home, theme park
Top spot for stargazing beside the campfire

Does your dream getaway come with a healthy dose of pampering, luxury and solitude? Settle in for your hols at Hidden Meadows, a small family-friendly glampsite 10 minutes’ drive from the town of Beccles in Suffolk, East Anglia. You’ll be greeted at Hidden Meadows with a treat: a welcome pack full of tea, coffee, milk, sugar, hot chocolate, a homemade cake and some marshmallows to toast over the campfire. Talk about starting your hols off on a sweet note… Once you’ve settled in, you can explore the site’s 25-acres of private meadows and the surrounding areas. Talk a stroll along the stream that runs through the campgrounds (keeping an eye out for local wildlife), cast a line in the fishing pond, or wander into the wider world in the Broads National Park, an easy walk from Hidden Meadows. In the evenings, fire up the barbecue or head to the Barnby village pub-restaurant (a five-minute meander down the road) for your din-dins, then settle in for the night by stoking up the campfire and turning your gaze to the stars. If you fancy going further afield for your grub, there are oodles of restaurants within 20 minutes of the site.

Local attractions

Kids will be thrilled with some adrenaline spiking days on the track at Ellough Park Kart Circuit and on the rides at Pleasurewood Hills theme park, or you can have a calmer (but more adventurous) outing by meeting the animals at Africa Alive! safari park, all within 20 minutes’ drive of Hidden Meadows. There’s a bit of adrenaline for the grownups too: chuck yourself from an airplane at UK Parachuting, five minutes from the site – just don’t forget that all-important piece of nylon that keeps your plummeting to a reasonably safe speed. On the more sedate days, take it slow with trips to the East Anglia Transport Museum and Somerleyton Hall and Gardens, wander around Lowestoft’s shops, museums and theatres, or take a stroll through the Carlton Marshes nature reserve. For a classic summer’s day, you won’t go wrong with a trip to Kessingland beach, 15 minutes from Hidden Meadows, or to the scenic seaside town of Southwold, 25 minutes away.
