Situated on the Suffolk-Essex border close to Cambridge, Sudbury, Bury St Edmunds and Haverhill, and set within a County Wildlife area, this cosy fully insulated wooden tipi, is tucked away in a quiet corner of the Rum Bridge meadow.

Equipped with twin beds, solar lighting/device charging, a hot air heater and exclusive outdoor seating and firepit area, it is the right choice for anglers, walkers, birders, photographers… in fact anyone seeking to recharge the batteries in a tranquil offgrid rural retreat.

Showers, toilets and a communal ‘field kitchen’ are close by, as is a fully stocked tackle & bait shop. Hot and cold snacks, breakfast, lunches and dinner available from the onsite Carol's Kitchen food concession. And an extensive takeaway delivery menu is available seven days a week.

All guests have access to nearby showers and toilets, a dedicated sitting-out area and a small ‘field kitchen’ (food prep area) with worktop, butler sink and hot and cold running water.

Nestling in the heart of the tranquil Suffolk countryside, Rum Bridge is situated within easy driving distance of Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester, and the Suffolk coast. The market town of Clare is home to a wealth of shops, cafes, pubs and eateries, as well as a 13th century Augustinian Priory, Clare Country Park, the stone keep ruins of Clare Castle, a mediaeval church and museum.

Although, for security reasons, the gates are locked at dusk, guests can be provided with the gate lock combination, enabling you to come and go as you please.

To cater for all budgets, we allow guests to book our accommodation only, and bring their own bedding, towels, etc. We also offer an optional bedding package – including sheets, pillows, duvet and blankets (when required) – on request; together with the following options and extras, all of which are designed to make your break as relaxing and enjoyable as possible…

**Cook tent**

Our purpose-designed cook tents can be pitched next to your accommodation, and feature twin-burner gas stoves with grill, kettle, cookware, crockery.

Firepit package**

Guests who prefer to dine al fresco may wish to rent a fire pit with grill which can be supplied with either logs and kindling or charcoal, tongs, skewers, matches, firelighters and even a bag of marshmallows.

**Angling permits**

**IMPORTANT: please be aware that Rum Bridge is entirely ‘off-grid’, meaning the quality of lighting – both in the pods and tents, and site-wide - will vary with the prevailing conditions.**
