The space
You will be booking one of two tents in a adults only glamping site. The tents are lotus 5m Stargazer bell tents with Outbacker wood burners. They are truly beautiful, and they make the most of the spectacular views and stars at night.

Each tent has its own solar panel with a power station (like a big power bank) that provides power to run lights and charging of things like phones and tablets. This is limited to 350w at any one time so something like a kettle would not work but charging items like phones or tablets is no issue. Each Tent will has a double bed. All linens and towels are provided. We even include extra blankets and a hot water bottle.

Each Tent has its own plot marked out with newly planted hedges (these are still growing so please expect to be able to see through / over them). Each plot has a fire pit which can be cooked over and a wood burning hot tub.

The hot tub will need to be lit and heated by you during your stay. This will take between 2-3 hours from cold but less if warm already. We can pre-light it and bring it up to temperature before your arrival on day one, a charge of £30 for this service applies to cover our time and the wood used.

In addition to this you get your own stable! The horses have moved out and a new bathroom (Shower, Toilet, Sink, Towel rad) and Kitchenette (Fridge with ice box, Sink, Twin hot plate, Toaster and Kettle) have been installed. Each is dedicated to a pod, so no sharing needed. They have been insulated and have mains electric heating and electric hot water.

The tents are a short walk from the stables, so we have a stone path connecting them and we give you a lantern. There is also a carpark area with parking for one car per tent. Around the carpark we have planted a wildlife friendly hedge. The two tents are 10 meters apart.

Please note we provide you with some wood, fire starters and matches free at the start of your stay next to the tent. We have bundles of wood and fire starters in the stable should you need more these are charged at £6 per bundle. At the end of the year we will add up all the bundle sold and for each 5 bundle bought we will fund the planting of a tree through the national trust.

We also have 2 push bikes that can be used during your stay, can be booked in advance as shared with second unit.
Guest access
We are in the countryside, and it is beautiful, the downside is transport links are poor so if you want to pop out, we recommend a car. There are lots of places to walk locally but it is hilly so please bear in mind.
Other things to note
We provide blankets, bedding and to use during your stay to keep warm and the stables have electric heating.

As we are in the countryside, we do get Foxes, Rabbets, Pheasants, Squirrels and even Deer (great fun to watch). We have sheep in the field some of the time, this will behind an electric fence so you will not wake up with a sheep at the bottom of the bed, but they can be talkative especially when lambing (they are also great fun to watch).

We are a Freedom Camping site and members can get 10% off their booking. To do so please let us know at time of booking that you are a member and 10% will be refunded on arrival following you showing your proof of membership.
