Bell Tent - Luna Belle Tents (6m)Oct 2024

We had a wonderful weekend stay at Southwood Park. Our Red Retreat bell tent was warm and inviting, well kitted out with furniture and beds for the children. The supplied cooker and log burner were great. We also cooked on the fire pit outside too Showers were warm. Toilets were clean. The Eden bar was a fabulous retreat (we particularly enjoyed the table football and the pool). The breakfast was delicious! Staff were consistently friendly and kind. Outdoor games included badminton, twister, snakes and ladders and much more. There was a well put together outdoor play area and football net too. We loved the brightly coloured décor attached to the trees. All in all we have had a super family mini break and will return in the future. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Beautiful stay

Good selection of toys, not luxury though
