About this property
Finest Retreats | The Herdwick Safari Tent
The Herdwick Safari Tent is an incredible glamping experience set on the edge of a lake on a private farm and with its own private hot tub. The owners provide a warm welcome and guests can also benefit from free entry to the farm park and a discount at the on-site farm shop which stocks local produce.
The safari tent offers a luxurious glamping experience with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area. Inside, there is a private bathroom featuring a beautiful roll-top, free-standing bath. It includes a double bedroom and a second double bed located in the elevated section of the living room, which may not be ideal for individuals with limited mobility. Additionally, two single pull-out futons can be provided for children, accommodating up to six guests in total.
Guests will love sitting in the hot tub and soaking up the lake and countryside views whilst the BBQ is perfect for cooking on in the warm summer evenings.
The on-site farm park means kids and adults alike can enjoy meeting the alpacas, lambs, pigs and other farm animals.
The Herdwick Safari Tent is set in the quiet oasis of the farm but is handily only a few minutes’ drive from the centre of Hertford and the A10, which means easy access to the local shops and pubs. There's a number of things for guests to do in and around Hertford such as a trip to Hertford Castle where the grounds and gardens are open to the public and ideal for a picnic. There are plenty of walking trails nearby such as the Chadwell Way Sculpture Trail which follows a five mile route through the towns and countryside of Hertford, Ware and Great Amwell, in Hertfordshire.
Booking Conditions:
- No naked flames are allowed inside the accommodation.
- Swimming in the lake is not allowed.
- If making a fire, the fuel, logs and coal have to be purchased on site.
- The site caters for families (immediate members) and couples only - bookings from all other forms of groups are not accepted.
- Under 18s must be accompanied by their parents/guardians.
- No hen/stag parties.
- Guests are advised to bring a good quality torch as parts of the site are unlit.
