ARMADILLA GLAMPING – A Peaceful Adult-Only Stay in Essex

Tucked away in a quiet corner near our livery yard, our three adult-only Armadilla glamping pods offer a peaceful escape just under 2 hours from London and 30 minutes from Harwich International Port.

These cosy, glamping pods are perfect for couples or friends seeking a relaxing countryside retreat in Essex. Enjoy direct access to scenic walking and cycling trails, explore nearby nature reserves for birdwatching, or unwind by our off-site reservoir, which offers fantastic fishing opportunities.

Ideally situated for exploring both the Essex and Suffolk coastlines, the Armadillas make a perfect base to discover charming villages, historic sites, and the beauty of the East Anglian countryside.
