The Apple Bobber: a safari tent for two at The Firs
Sleeps 2 · 1 bedroom · 1 bathroom · approximately 250 sq ft · Safari tent
The Apple Bobber is a safari tent by the moat — canvas walls, a superking bed, a wood-burning stove and a wood-fired hot tub sized for two. It's around 250 sq ft, open plan, and closer to the water than anything else on the site.

Who it suits
Two people who want the countryside close enough to hear it through the canvas. It's glamping rather than camping — proper bed, proper bathroom, proper kitchen — but you'll know what the weather is doing, which is rather the point.
The name
We both fell in love with glamping in Suffolk in our early years together, and the memory of those holidays is part of what drew us here.
The lodge names hark back to the days when the woodland and grounds were part of a large apple farm. An apple bobber, a bushel.
