About Bozedown Boltholes
This exclusive glamping site is beautifully located in Oxfordshire, near Pangbourne on the River Thames. The fully equipped safari tent here is for your exclusive use - you'll enjoy an acre all to yourselves at this 18-acre site, ensuring privacy and peace. Named after the "bouquet" of pheasants that visit the site, this family-friendly and dog-friendly safari tent sleeps up to five guests. Featuring stunning views of the Thames River Valley, look out for the wild pheasants, muntjacs, and a local group of deer during your stay. This tent is perfect for families, boasting two comfortable king-size beds, one with a single bunk bed over the top. A travel cot is also available for babies/toddlers. Enjoy the convenience of an ensuite bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, a wood-burning stove, a sofa, and indoor and outdoor eating areas. There is also a "Pheasling" outdoor cooking area, including a traditional stone-ringed campfire with a grill. Explore the surrounding area and discover the secret treats, including a hide looking out over the hillside, an A-frame den for the kids to make their own, and a ring of oak trees perfect for den building and finding fairies. Dogs are welcome, but only one.
