    Absolute treasure. Staff are incredible and so helpful on every level. The place and the glamping Castle, cabin and tents were amazing. Loved every second of it! The pond was beautiful. What a magic environment. Will definitely be back.

    We enjoyed 2 nights at the Castle and the Cabin by the Dell for 3 adults and 5 children (aged 1 to 9) in late October. The castle was an awesome experience for kids and grown ups, we all loved the look out bedroom, enjoying the view up amongst the trees and across the Dell. The older kids enjoyed some freedom around the site as it was quiet, family friendly and traffic free. Both spaces were well equipped, clean and comfortable. The cabin a great outdoor covered seating area and we had a lovely fairy light encircled fire area too. There was plenty of firewood provided for outdoor fire pits and keeping toasty with the indoor log burners. A great, unspoiled location, loads of space to relax and enjoy nature and helpful and friendly hosting by Lewis. We will definitely return.

    There aren’t words to describe the tranquility and restorative vibe that encapsulates Moat Island. The tents were super comfy, every site is really private and has its own unique charm, the eco-pool was a highlight, the camp kitchen has everything you need and more, the wildlife and bird songs were so delightful, and the views are unforgettable. The site has been so thoughtfully & considerately designed that you feel as though you’ve just landed in a natural utopia. Can not rave about this place enough, would highly recommend and if we’re ever back in Norwich I’ll be booking more than 1 night. Thank you!

    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.

    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.

    Just returned from an amazing stay at the beautiful moat island glamping we stayed in the castle and it was just perfect it has everything you need. The bed was super comfy and the fairy lights around the whole castle were super cute. Thank you.

    We have just spent two nights at Moat Island and really cannot rate this place enough. It is absolutely beautiful and the sunset spot is breathtaking. The beauty is in the detail with so much care and thought for the environment, the wildlife and the customer experience. The owners are attentive but not intrusive. We have come away feeling totally refreshed and relaxed. The tents are really spacious, clean and zen like with soft and comfy beds. We had the furnished stargazer which was perfect for the views at night and in morning. We went for an anniversary break and it was really romantic but would also be great for a family or group of friends. You have your own area for socialising and cooking on your own fire pit, and all the utensils you need that are specially dedicated to you in your own section in the communal kitchen area which has a nice big oven and a pizza oven too. You have your own designated fridge. The showers are hot and luxurious. The natural swimming pond is so unique and refreshing. If you want to escape to real nature and serenity then in my opinion this is the perfect place. We will absolutely be coming back. 5 star rating from us!

    We stayed at Moat Island over the Bank holiday weekend and had a fantastic time. The Bell Tent was very comfortable with the fire and seating just outside, which was perfect for us with the children. The facilities were all clean and well kept. The site is peaceful and perfect to relax in after our busy days out. This was our second visit and i wouldn't hesitate to come again.

    What an incredibly special place. I stayed in the Furnished Oak tent and it was absolutely beautiful. The bed was super comfortable and the pillows and white cotton linen was lovely. The site really is a hidden gem. All you can hear is the lark. The swimming pond was a real treat. Being able to sit in the pool and observe dragon flies and bees and all of the beautiful surrounding planting. More than enough wood was left for the indoor fire and outdoor fire pit. The outdoor kitchen block was also fully stocked, with each tent having access to its own equipment and fridge. Each tent also had access to their own wet room shower and toilet in a spotless modern block, as well as a compost toilet closer to the tent. I found this place on Instagram and it more than lived up to my expectations. It really is a very special place and I hope I can return later this year.

    Fantastic experience. We booked the whole site for a big family gathering and had a fantastic time. Will definitely come again. Lewis and Roy were really helpful booking in and place is amazing. Seriously comfortable tents with enough bedding for the whole family. Every tent has a BBQ and stove! Brilliant shares shower block (better than my shower at home! How many camp sites have slate tiles??). Also incredibly well equipped kitchen (definitely won’t need to bring anything to make even quite complicated meals) and a PIZZA OVEN!

    We had such a wonderful weekend at Moat Farm Glamping. We had a bell tent with our 2 boys aged 5 and 1 and it was perfect. Such a relaxing environment. We didn't light the woodburner in our bell tent as there was no surround to stop our toddler touching it, but the weather was warm so we didn't mind. We didn't ask for a surround, so I'm not sure if they have them available or not? The natural swimming pool was so lovely and we all had a dip! Followed by the wood fired hot tub was brilliant! The shared kitchen was a great space with our own fridges meant we had loads of room for our food. The toilet and shower block was immaculate and lovely to have. Thank you for such a great stay, we will be back!

    Okay guys, listen up! Book now! Seriously though, I can't rate this place highly enough. Everything was perfect. We stayed in the cabin. It was so cute and cosy, lovely log burner and a great little kitchen. The bed is super comfy. And just outside, the most wonderful wood-fired hot tub (we stayed in October)! While it heated up, we swam in the natural swimming pool. A wild swimmer's paradise. Taking a dip in such beautiful surroundings, while it was raining, was truly magical. Something I won't forget in a while! Then we got warm in the hot tub and watched the moon rise. All the practical things were spot on, facilities were really clean, showers were hot and powerful. Very posh! Communication with the owners was friendly and fast. We had a brilliant time, it felt like the perfect spot to relax and unwind. Will be recommending Moat Island to all our pals. Thank you! ❤️

    What a fantastically lovely please to spend a few nights. Everything was well presented and clean. The pool was amazing and my girls loved it. The shared kitchen was functional and good fun. BBQ pits were also perfect for a little feast. We loved having the log burner to make the bell tent nice and cozy. We are planning on coming back for more adventures in the future.

    Lovely feeling back to nature in the beautiful surroundings. Felt very rustic and could have been anywhere was so peaceful and much needed downtime. Site was well maintained with great amenities in the communal areas. Having our own fridge freezer was a wonderful idea. Toilet and showers were super clean. We will definitely be visiting again - highly recommended.

    We had a lovely stay at Moat Island Glamping. We hired the yurt with a hot tub and it was perfect. The fairy lights make it very magical in the evenings. It had everything we needed - plus, warm down duvets and comfy beds! Great price too. Highly recommend.

    Fourth visit and still as good as the first! The small changes they’ve made are really impressive with a cleaner natural pool. I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s so peaceful and the BYOB tent is located perfectly for the evening sun and saves you a few quid for the minor inconvenience of bringing your own air bed. Will be back year after year, keep up the great work guys.
