Firefly, Thetford

Firefly cabin

About the property

Set in an open meadow on the edge of King Edward VIII Wood, Firefly offers a luxurious glamping experience in Norfolk’s captivating Brecklands. Like its namesake – the fireflies that dance over nearby Thompson’s Water – this stunning cabin captures the magic of nature while providing all the comforts of home.

Push open the wide-glazed doors to discover a laid-back interior that instantly soothes the soul. The main cabin features a well-equipped kitchen with a ceramic hob, gas oven, and all the essentials needed for cooking up country feasts. The living area sets the scene for relaxation with its comfortable leather seating and the warming glow of an electric wood-burning stove – ideal for those peaceful evenings when you want to unwind.

The bedroom pod is something special. Connected to the main cabin, this bespoke space houses a luxurious king-size bed and offers stunning views across the pastureland. The private bathroom impresses with its large walk-in shower, and you’ll find complimentary spa products waiting for you.

Step outside into your fully enclosed garden, where nature puts on a daily show. The adjacent land, owned by Norfolk Wildlife Trust, attracts abundant wildlife, making every morning coffee on the garden furniture an opportunity for wildlife spotting. As evening falls, light up the gas fire pit, which cleverly doubles as a BBQ with its hot plate.

Relaxation reaches new heights with your private wood-fired hot tub and sauna. Guests also enjoy complimentary access to the Wilderness Spa, hidden among mature trees nearby. This unique facility features a natural swimming pool, treatment rooms, and a Botanical Bistro serving seasonal delights.

Want to explore? Leave your car behind and discover miles of walking and cycling trails right from your doorstep. The High Lodge Centre in Thetford Forest offers everything from Go Ape adventures to Gruffalo orienteering, while history buffs will love the nearby Dad’s Army Museum.

This adults-only retreat welcomes two well-behaved dogs (small additional charge), though four-legged friends can’t join you in the Wilderness Spa area. For social gatherings, the neighbouring Dragonfly cabin can be booked separately – perfect for friends wanting their own space while holidaying together.

With allocated parking, spa luxuries, and nature’s wonders on your doorstep, Firefly offers an unforgettable escape in one of Norfolk’s most unspoiled corners.
