ADDITIONAL INFORMATION 

The bell tent is on a wooden decking and is accessed via 1 step up onto decking under an awning and another small step into the bell tent. The door is 1.73m high and opens up inside to 3m in the centre with lowest point at edge of tent 0.6m.

The walk from parking is via a small paddock with a mown path and then a short section of a woodland path. The ground in the woodland is uneven.

The trailer kitchen is a converted rice horse trailer and has access via a small jockey door or larger ramp which can be closed in bad weather. The worktops are taller than standard at 1m. This quirky addition is old and the ramp sits on 2 bricks to make it level. This can be left open in fair weather or closed up at night if preferred. Please ask for assistance if needed.

Drinking water is available from the tap at the bell tent or the kitchenette (less than a 2 minute walk) which is in the games room. Access this through the stable yard and down 3 stone steps with a handrail on the left if needed. You will be shown where the key is kept on arrival.

Logs are provided for both the fire pit and the log burner, there is plenty for your stay and should you require more please advise us. Only the kiln dried logs provided should be used.

We are a non-smoking establishment.

There are exterior solar powered lights around the bell tent and enclosure. It is glamping and we are blessed not to have light pollution or street lights. We recommend you bring a head torch with you.

A porta-potti is located at the back of the tent for night time. Only number 1’s!! 

Wifi access is available across the bell tent paddock and in the games room (less than a 2 minute walk) – details on arrival.
