Nestled within 32 acres of peaceful countryside in the charming village of Thompson, this secluded retreat offers a unique glamping escape surrounded by nature. Perfect for couples, families or small groups, this pet-friendly accommodation welcomes dogs and even horses by prior arrangement. With scenic walking routes including the Peddars Way and Pingo Trail nearby, Thompson Water just a mile away, and Thetford Forest within easy reach, there's plenty to explore. Guests can also enjoy freshly prepared meals from the on-site bistro or book access to the Wilderness Spa, featuring a natural unheated swimming pond, hot tub, sauna and treatments (all available at an additional cost and arranged directly with Thompson Hall Retreat in advance).

Inside, the open-plan cabin has been thoughtfully designed for relaxing self-catering stays. The cosy lounge area features a wood burner, TV with DVD player and comfortable seating, while the kitchen and dining area provide everything needed to enjoy meals together. The bathroom, located within the main lodge, includes a steam shower, flushing toilet and heated towel rail. Sleeping accommodation is provided in a separate bedroom pod located at the rear of the lodge, accessed via the enclosed garden rather than internally from the cabin. The pod features a zip-and-link super-king-size bed which can be made into twins on request, along with blackout blinds and storage for personal belongings.

Outside, the enclosed private spa garden creates a peaceful space to unwind, complete with a wood-fired hot tub, infrared sauna and outdoor seating area. An initial supply of wood is provided for both the wood burner and hot tub, with additional wood available to purchase on-site or source locally if required. As evening falls, fairy lights add a welcoming glow, while the front garden offers outdoor furniture, a gas fire pit with BBQ grill and space for al fresco dining.

What an absolute lovely place to stay, tranquil, relaxing and it has everything you need. We would definitely recommend a meal at the foraged and fire in the woods as the whole experience was amazing. Amanda and her hard working team do a fabulous job to make this retreat so special.

Its a long off road track, just be aware. Look out for all the local wildlife, fantastic to see and hear so much when sitting out for breakfast and in the evenings. We were very lucky to have the whole place to ourselves for most of our stay. our neighbours were usually horses or goats at a distance.
