Bell Tent - 5m Bell TentsAug 2024

We stayed 3 nights in the tent and had an amazing time. The tents were lovely. Really clean and the beds were very comfy. Loved having fires in the evening in a beautiful peaceful setting. The showers were great and hot and it's a great location as near to anything you would need.

Lovely night away with family

My husband and I had a wonderful two nights glamping here. The Bell tents are beautifully decorated and comfortable. It is really peaceful with the most beautiful sunset. Facilities are kept spotless. Nice touch having complimentary tea and coffee in the morning. Owners are extremely helpful and accommodating. Plenty of parking and plenty to do just a ten minute drive away. New Forest, Beaches, fabulous pubs and so forth. Highly recommend!
