The Quirky Carp is the ultimate glamping spot for anyone who loves to be closer to nature - whether you're here for a family adventure, a relaxed getaway with friends, or simply some lakeside time with your fishing rod (licence required).
Perched on the edge of the Moat Lake, this spacious 5-metre nomadic-style bell tent offers a clever pole-free design - giving you generous headroom and a comfortable space to stretch out and unwind. With greenery all around and the lake right on your doorstep, it’s the kind of setting that instantly soothes the soul.

And with easy access to the Outdoor Barn Kitchen, toilet, and shower facilities, you’ve got all the essentials close at hand, making it a practical and good choice for families, friends, and couples.
Just a 10-minute walk away, the picturesque medieval town of Clare is waiting to be explored - with its independent shops, cosy cafés, historic castle ruins, and riverside pubs offering the best of Suffolk hospitality.
If you're looking to venture further, The Quirky Carp also makes a great base for day trips to Cambridge, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury, Colchester, or even the Suffolk coast.
Whether you’re sketching the view, enjoying a glass of wine by the water, or casting a quiet line, The Quirky Carp is glamping - a lakeside retreat made for good company, fresh air, and adventures.
