Bell Tent - Lotus Belle TentsAug 2024

Perfect glamping at another level. Comfy bed, wood burner and optional hot tub. Quirky shower and WC in horse box with shared kitchen area overlooking the Cheviots. Great location, easy walking to Bamburgh and Seahouses. Beadnell and Holy Island just a short drive away. We will be back!!

Excellent stay

Bell Tent - Lotus Belle TentsAug 2024

We stayed for two nights in August 2024 and it was really enjoyable. Last minute get away and we weren't disappointed, the tent was so cosy with the addition of a log burner for chillier nights. Fully stocked bag of logs, water and tea/coffee making supplies. The toilets and showers were pristine and hot water provided. The views were great, captured some shots of Milky Way and shooting stars. Excellent location for a group of friends or couple. Not far away from Bamburgh or Seahouses. We will come again for sure. Jess & Andy.

Bell Tent - Lotus Belle TentsAug 2024

This place was stunning. You are provided with everything, I can not fault the service at all. Hot water, all cooking equipment, logs for the fire pit, 2 small prosecco bottles on arrival. Honestly, it was beautiful and so comfortable and clean. Walking distance to the castle, which is well worth it. I would also recommend seeing Alnwick whilst you're that way too. My only thing to mention, the mesh part of my door had a hole in it. When camping, I tend to have the tent door open and just the mesh zipped up so I can see the sunrise, but the hole prevented this as insects were flying in so didn't get to experience seeing the sun coming up from my bed. Other than that, would highly recommend.
