Ash the Woodland Bell Tent (39 at Swattesfield Campsite)
UK England East Anglia Suffolk Stowmarket Swattesfield Campsite
The Owner Says
Made in the UK these tents are something special, having been built on their own wooden platform with no centre pole and internal canopy they come with all the creature comforts you'd need to have a thoroughly enjoyable stay. At five metres across they have a full-size comfy double bed as well as two or three fold out child beds (if required). There is astro turf throughout with torch lanterns, a gas hob, all your cooking equipment/cutlery/plates, your very own picnic table and a fancy fire pit. We also include at no extra cost a solar powered USB unit for charging small electrical items such as mobiles. Although there is a nearby drinking water point, this tent is located in a more secluded area of the woods rather than on the main camping field so is a little further to walk to the facilities block (about 3 minutes).
