Moat Island Glamping - Norfolk

We had a wonderful relaxing long weekend at Moat Island. A gorgeous location, not far from Norwich or the coast and some lovely walks just around the site. Lewis was so helpful and friendly. Really loved the natural pool for a refreshing dip. The facilities are great, with everything you need, we cooked in the communal kitchen and on the firepit at our tent. The tents themselves are great, really comfortable bed, kettle and a great log burner inside that kept us cosy. We cannot wait to visit again. Noteworthy details: Fantastic natural swimming pool!

We stayed here this weekend for a mini half term break with our five year old and five month old baby. The host was amazing and very helpful leading up to and during our stay - we appreciated how easy the communication was given how busy our lives can be with the two smaller family members! Instructions for finding the site were very helpful and we arrived easily. The castel cabin was chilly when we arrived and we briefly worried it would be too cold for the baby, but the log burner heated everything up in a very short time and then stayed warm until we left two days later. It's a fairly warm late October (down to about 13/14 degrees overnight), but we were still impressed by this. The space was great - surprisingly roomy especially with the turret table/bed, and very well appointed. For anyone else who isn't sure, there is a toaster. The outdoor kitchen in the other part of the site has everything else you might want for cooking including a gas hob and proper oven if you'd rather use those. The electric hob in the cabin was great though. The outdoor space near the castle was fab - a large sail-like tented area for shade/rain cover and a big shared fire pit, plus the cabin and castle both have their own smaller fire pit and also a compost loo (great for middle of the night loo trips). Shower facilities were great - large and the water was hot. There are two loos and two showers per block of men's and women's facilities, plus a disabled loo (which possibly had a shower in, we didn't use this so didn't check) and three outdoor showers at the end. I'm not sure if they were heated as well as we used the indoor ones, but they looked very nice. The block is under the trees so it all smelt lovely and pine-y, and had nice views towards farmland. The swimming pond is really cool - we thought from the photos that it was a pond that had been artificially deepened and a jetty added but actually it's a very cleverly designed outdoor pool with a deep (2m) swimming section in the middle surrounded by little banks with nicely planted gravel/rocks. I am not keen on wild swimming because of the weeds etc but this was weed-free and looked very pretty. On a hot day it would be great! The woodland next door was beautiful especially at this time of year with millions of toadstools. We saw lots of wildlife including bats, birds of prey, and deer. All in all a wonderful stay and a place we hope to come back to. We love privacy on glamping campsites and really fancy the bell tents next summer, with their self contained little glades.
