Our family really enjoyed our stay at the Waterworks Glamping site and cant wait to visit again. The tent was decorated very nicely with lots of nice little touches and electricity Wifi etc. The beds were super comfortable. The walk to Clare was plesant, less than 10 minutes away and there are 3 or 4 pubs there, a Co-op plus food options. Also Cambridge is not far away and we visited for the day. Kids and adults loved the hammock. Ben and Netty are just starting out but their hosting was very attentive. Hope to go back again.

I almost don’t want to write this review, because we have uncovered a gem.
My husband and two of our children (3-9) stayed for two nights and I must say it was amazing. The location is first class with 360deg views (sunset to die for), a short walk and you are in the centre of Clare where there are pubs and restaurants and the local shops.
The glamming site has around five tents so it’s very personable and you get to know everyone staying, which we found great. The tents are also quality and decorated individually to who is staying that evening. (Touch of class). Honestly, I would not change anything about this place.
Now to two other undiscovered gems, Ben and Netty, you would honestly think they had been in the business all their lives. They are two of the nicest, honest, hard working couple I have ever met. They can not do enough for all their guests. Ben even cooked a BBQ for the whole camp on the first night and joined everyone around the camp fire for a beer or wine also providing the children with Marshmallows to toast over the fire. If anything, you need to visit to meet these two wonderful people.
Don’t think about it, just book it. You will not be disappointed.
We are already planning our next family visit and even planning to take our friends.
Thanks for an unforgettable weekend. Xxx
Interesting site - but check directions and call ahead! Ben and Netty are convivial, very generous hosts who are bringing an authentic "circular economy" approach to revive and repurpose this 'mixed use' industrial site in a fabulous setting. I don't want everyone to know about this hideaway, but they deserve every success.
Nothing, but it's early days - experimental - far from polished, all in a really inspiring way but not like other glamping sites.

Wow. What can I say? Perfection! Exactly what we wanted; Peaceful, Quiet and beautiful surroundings. Ben and Nettie are wonderful hosts, site was enchanting, small and friendly. A few teething problems but sorted swiftly and professionally. Will definitely return and would 100% recommend to anyone

Well were do I start, it was a fantastic experience as i/we have never done camping before, but because it was already there it was great, each tent/ teepee have there own individual personality and quirkiness, the sunsets are amazing, the hosts were there for all your needs, tea, coffee, and cereal was always available, hut with all your kitchen needs, there was a large campfire area right in the middle which got all the campers together at the end of the day for chats and drinks (bring your own).. We had 2 kids with us 5 and 11 and they didn't want to leave, large area for them to play, (we took garden games) just needs a sign at the end of the lane, but other than that it was a perfect 4 days. And would definitely stay again, looking forward to that.

Amazing location, small, beautiful site in Suffolk, amid peaceful fields.
Site has 6 pods / tepees and as we were 5 families together had the site almost to ourselves. Owners provide lots of comfortable seats and outside dining areas and there is an amazing campfire in the centre. Good toilet and shower facilities and shared kitchen and washing up area. Breakfast kindly provided and wine on arrival!
Our kids' age ranged between 1- 14 and they absolutely loved it. So much space for games (cricket etc), playing and watching the sunset behind the tepees and in the neighbouring fields was unforgettable. We're already working out dates we can return next year, as so perfect for our group.
The shared kitchen could be set out a bit more clearly to know what items are provided by the owners for guests, what is their own stuff and areas for the different tents (it was workable for us as a big group sharing)

The site was so lovely, lovely welcome from Ben & Netty & (mum) shown around everything. The facilities are great. Great use of space and resources love the horse box showers. Everything is provided- I definitely overpacked when I needed not to. breakfast items are provided, towels, bedding fully functional kitchen with all utensils you’d possibly need. you don’t need anything at all- simply just show up.
Our bell tent was amazing myself and my boys loved it! Very clean and beautiful, fresh bedding (smelt lovely & fresh) - so nice hearing the birds in the morning.
The campfire gets lit nightly with the opportunity for roasting marshmallows. (Huge hit) a Beverage was also offered upon our arrival.
Absolutely Love what they are offering here. You will not find a most affordable lovely friendly inclusive site. I travelled alone with my sons the site felt safe and secure with a fantastic environment.
Ben & Netty we thoroughly enjoyed our stay with you guys 😀

Peaceful spot, surrounded by beautiful countryside. Perfect place to relax and recharge. Nice walk into town through fields and past some allotments. Ben & Netty are perfect hosts who couldn’t do enough for you. Highlight of the stay was getting to see the amazing barn owl who visits at dusk every night to hunt in the field next to the campsite.

Super friendly, lovely design, everything provided. Not a dislike but I would have had to keep a close eye if I had a toddler as there are steep steps. Great fun for the five year olds tho!
