Blooms Westerby Farm

The flat fields of Blooms Westerby Farm in the Cambridgeshire fens make for camping and glamping with far-reaching views, big skies and, often, spectacular sunsets. The site offers a collection of glamping options and a handful of pitches – so there’s a way to stay that will suit most types of Hipcamper. There’s a small fishing lake and archery on site, plus a riverside village within walking distance. There you’ll find a pub serving up good food and a place to hire canoes and kayaks so you can enjoy days messing about on the river.

The range of places to stay on site start with a simple grass pitch and stretch to a cabin that sleeps four with a kitchenette, log burner, TV and a hot tub outside. There are bell tents, a yurt and shepherd huts too. Each of the glamping options is slightly different but all have one thing in common; proper beds and bedding for a comfy night's sleep. They also share loos and showers just a short walk away in a purple cabin that’s hard to miss – you’ll see. There’s a campers’ kitchen, too, which is handy place for those in the campsite, the bell tents or the yurts. 

Perhaps handier, still, are the breakfasts offered by your hosts, Christine and Richard. This friendly pair meet all guests and make sure you are not only happy but fed – if you want to be. They offer cooked breakfasts, waffles and breakfast rolls in the morning and scones at afternoon tea. For lunch or dinner, you can easily wander into the village to pick up supplies or sit down at one of the local pubs. With fishing and archery on site and kayaking just down the road, you won’t be short on things to do. But if you want to venture beyond this fenland village, the Cambridgeshire town of Wisbech and the Norfolk town of Downham Market are lovely places to explore that are not too far away.
