Michael grew up on Westgate Farm and is the second generation of his family to run the farm. With farming becoming tougher and margins being squeezed, they needed to to diversify, so came up with the idea of luxury glamping tents, which Sophie left her career in marketing to run.
They love
“Watching the sun set from the deck with a glass of wine, as wild deer roam amongst the flowers.”
We love
The thought of a bath with the canvas gable rolled up, soaking in the morning sun.

The 2 tents are in the same field. This is not a party site; strictly no stag/hen parties, and no music after 10pm. Closed annually from Nov-early March. No WiFi, but there’s good 4G and phone reception.
Sustainability.
Michael works closely with Norfolk FWAG to ensure the farm provides beneficial landscapes for wildlife. He’s planted nectar rich areas, leaves fields empty over winter for ground-resting birds and manages their hedgerow in an environmentally conscious way.
Surrounds.
- Kids will love picking sunflowers in season (Aug/Sept)
- Seal-spotting trips embark from nearby Morston Quay, where a handful of family-run businesses can take you to Blakeney Point and answer every question you have about England’s largest grey seal colony.
- Hunstanton’s red-striped cliffs are half an hour by car, or park up in Wells-next-the-Sea and follow the coastal trail to the sandy stretches of Wells and Holkham.
- Set on the banks of the River Wensum (and firmly off the beaten track), Sculthorpe Mill serves up a fresh menu of Cromer crab and Binham blue, but it’s worth popping in even if just for a drink – in summer, there’s often a live DJ in the garden.
- Find flamingos and cranes at Pensthorpe Natural Park, where there are 700 acres of art trails and wetland walks (plus a kids’ play area).
- The mile-long nature trail around Holkam Hall’s lake is a lovely way to while away an afternoon in the company of pink-footed geese in winter and goslings in spring

FAQs.
They can’t precisely say as it’s in the hands of the weather… but they aim for August.
In: 4pm / Out: 10am
Yes, the first set is. Additional sets can be purchased when you stay.
In order to preserve the wildflower meadow, you can’t park alongside your tent. But the car park is only a 3-min walk away, and carts are provided for transporting your luggage.
No, but 4G is strong.
Yes, mains electricity, water and drainage. So there are power sockets and lighting throughout.
Well-behaved pets are welcome but they must be kept under control at all times on site and not allowed to roam unattended. Waste must be picked up and put in a bin. There is a charge of £25/pet.
There’s everything from breakfast hampers to BBQ kits and homemade meals by Ginger & Juice, plus there’s a pizza oven for BYO pizzas. Details of all this will be sent after you’ve booked so you can pre order.
