Welcome
Sibbecks Farm Glamping is a glamping site on the beautiful Isle of Wight. There are just two safari tents set in a wild meadow, each with their own separate and private spaces, with amazing views out to the surrounding countryside. Although you will be staying under canvas, this is definitely not camping in the traditional sense. The tents are fitted with proper beds, extra warm duvets & even electric blankets. A wood burning stove in the lounge area keeps the tent super cosy even on a cold night. There is a fully equipped kitchen & dining area, complete with a cooking hob, fridge/freezer, toaster & microwave. Each tent also has its own private shower/bath!

Getting around outside
The safari tents are situated in a meadow which is 3 acres in size. The majority of the meadow is delibrately left to be wild. Each tent is surrounded by a half acre area that is mowed and well maintained. As this is a natural environment however, there may be some uneven ground and slippery conditions after rain.
The meadow is gently sloping. The Stream Escape safari tent is at the bottom of the slope, and the Meadow Escape safari tent is at the top nearest the meadow entrance & parking.
The walkways to each tent and around the site are typically mowed grass. The Meadow Escape safari tent has a section of woodchip walkway from the meadow entrance running to the safari tent entrance.
There is a stream running through the meadow which is crossed by two bridges. The stream is usually only a maximum of 25cm deep but in the winter months can temporary flood. There is no barrier or fence between the safari tent and the stream.
The outdoor seating is in the form of wooden picnic tables and benches
