Teeny-Tiny-Tipi
Set amid overhanging trees on the banks of the Moat pleasure fishing lake, this wooden tipi features twin low level beds, and an exclusive outdoor seating and fire pit area. Being entirely ‘offgrid’, it is equipped with a solar-powered battery pack, providing lighting and device charging.
The perfect antidote to the hustle and bustle of modern city life, offering a rare opportunity to reconnect with nature in the heart of the Suffolk countryside, the ‘Teeny-Tiny-Tipi’ is tucked away at the western edge of the Rum Bridge Marsh - a County Wildlife Site, and on the banks of the Rum Bridge Moat Lake.
Guests have easy access to hot showers, flush toilets, and a communal washing-up area with hot and cold water. The nearby Carol’s Kitchen (onsite food concession) offers hot and cold meals and snacks throughout the day.
The right choice for anyone, seeking a relaxing back-to-basics staycation - Rum Bridge itself is situated on the outskirts of the historic market town of Clare, Suffolk, within easy driving distance of Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester, and the Suffolk coast.
The town 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 medieval church and museum.
