Tucked away in the peaceful Suffolk countryside, the Armadillo offers something truly special for those seeking a stay that’s anything but ordinary. Once a working Bedford Army Truck, it’s now a beautifully converted glamping hideaway, full of character, charm, and a spirit of adventure.

It’s a perfect base for families or friends wanting to reconnect with nature, slow down, and enjoy the simpler things. Inside, the Armadillo is cosy, offering everything you need for a restful retreat. Step outside and you’ll find your own private outdoor area overlooking the changing colours of the seasonal fields - an ideal spot for morning coffee, lazy afternoon reads, or evening campfires under a sky full of stars.

The firepit can be set up for you ahead of arrival (just let us know once your booking is confirmed) and we’ll make sure everything’s ready for you to settle in and relax the moment you arrive. Toasting marshmallows and sharing stories around the fire is all part of the experience.

The Armadillo is also solar powered, making it an eco-conscious choice. Nearby shared shower facilities are kept clean and well-maintained for your comfort.

Set within Rum Bridge Glamping, the Armadillo is just a short walk from the historic market town of Clare - one of Suffolk’s hidden gems. You’ll find charming streets, independent shops, yummy cafés, riverside walks, the ancient ruins of Clare Castle, and a few friendly pubs, all just ten minutes from your door.

For those wanting to explore further, Rum Bridge is ideally located within easy reach of Cambridge, Newmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury, Colchester, and the breathtaking Suffolk coast.

If you’re looking for a peaceful escape with a twist - something a little different, a little nostalgic, and a little magical - The Armadillo is ready to welcome you
