The Heron – A Bright and Peaceful Retreat in Nature Tucked into the tranquil surroundings of Lodeside Glamping, The Heron offers a cosy countryside escape with all the comforts of home. Handcrafted with care and designed to help you slow down and switch off, this charming shepherd’s hut is perfect for couples and young families. Inside, you’ll find a light and airy living space with a comfortable double bed, bunk beds for children under 12, a private ensuite bathroom and a fully equipped kitchen for easy self-catering. With soft touches, underfloor heating and lovely rural views. The Heron is a restful place to unwind after a day of exploring. Outside, enjoy your own private seating area – perfect for lazy breakfasts, reading in the sunshine or stargazing on clear nights. As one of just three huts at Lodeside Glamping, The Heron offers peace, privacy and a chance to truly relax in nature.

Nearby, the historic city of Ely offers plenty to explore, including its iconic cathedral, charming riverside walks and independent shops and markets. Nature lovers will enjoy Wicken Fen, a nearby National Trust reserve with beautiful walking and cycling routes through unspoilt fenland. Be sure to visit Anglesey Abbey, where you’ll find year-round gardens, woodland walks and a working watermill – a lovely place for a relaxed day out. You’re also within easy reach of Wimpole Estate, a National Trust country house with gardens, a farm and parkland. And of course, no stay is complete without a visit to Cambridge. Wander the historic university colleges, explore world-class museums, enjoy riverside cafés or try punting along the River Cam for the classic Cambridge experience. Despite its quiet setting, The Heron is just a short drive from local pubs, farm shops and cosy tearooms, giving you the perfect mix of rural retreat and nearby discovery.
