Yurt, Tipi, Gypsy Caravan, cottage and camping accommodation in the Suffolk countryside

Tipi - 14' diameter - sleeps 2-4

Our native American style tipi has a real atmosphere of adventure, but with more than a hint of coziness too. You'll feel right at home in the soft futon bed by the warmth of the woodburner, yet the tipi's majestic 24' pine poles reaching for the stars will transport you to another time and place. The cozy circular space within the tent is perfect for two (although it can sleep up to 4) and comes equipped with all you'll need - whether you're looking to rough it or glamp it! For cooking you could either embrace the outdoor life and cook over an open fire or BBQ in your own private outdoor space beside your tipi, or you could simply use the communal cooking facilities onsite. Wood for the fire is provided, and at night your tipi will be lit by solar fairy lights and tea light lanterns. Your tipi comes with rugs, cowskins, cushions, extra beds as necessary & a big squishy beanbag for lounging around. For stays of 3 nights or more we include 200 threadcount 100% cotton sheets, wool blankets and pillows with 800 threadcount pillowcases. Crow Lodge tipi was handmade in Wales.

All set within a mature wildlife garden of just an acre, Alde Garden is a warm friendly site with a communal feel. Please note if you are looking for a quiet retreat or romantic break the best time to come is during the week outside of school holidays. 

Staying in a tipi is a more 'hands on' experience than some of our other accommodation - learning how to position the smoke flaps for different weather conditions and keeping the inside of the tipi dry. Most guests find this an exciting part of the adventurous nature of staying in a tipi - but if you are unsure about this aspect please do give us a call and we will talk you through it.

Please note - Alde Garden is a small, quiet site - this site appeals to those looking for a peaceful getaway or romantic break. Whilst we do encourage families we ask that parents maintain a suitable level of supervision at all times. We have no electricity at all in the garden, and we try to encourage an atmosphere of peace and tranquility, particularly after 10pm. Please consider carefully before booking. Sorry - no groups and no pets. For more details please read our terms & conditions.

Your tipi is called ‘Crow Lodge’. For every night this tipi is occupied, we will donate £1 to RSPB for their nearby Minsmere Nature Reserve.
