We also keep some spare instant coal packs (for a small fee) if you don't want to have to bring a whole bag!

We also have an eco composting toilet for private use if you prefer to lock yourself away and enjoy the glamping in peace - however, we can't guarantee that our cat won't come to say hello :-) The hosts are local musicians (singers), and connoisseurs of the local ales so will be more than happy to take you on a tour of the area or simply guide you to the best spots for music, food and ale,- or you can check out our local restaurant and beer guide.

The hut is quite far away from the house so feel free to enjoy the firepit and play music in the garden (within reason!). We only ask that you be respectful and keep the noise at a reasonable level and switch off past 10.30 pm or move it inside as sound travels up, we have neighbours and we'd like to stay on the Christmas Card list! :-) We look forward to welcoming you to East Anglia and hoping to ensure you have a pleasant stay in Suffolk You will have the entire wagon to yourself as well as use of private decking by the side of the wagon.
