Vole (1 at Amber's Bell Tent Camping at Hoveton Estate)

Our Tents

These 6 metre deluxe bell tents are fabulously roomy.  At 12' high in the centre, there's plenty of wiggle room, and with a massive 6 metre diameter, they provide a palatial pad for two, a perfect nest for a couple's retreat, plentiful room for a family of four with still enough space for 5, for larger groups and families.

If you're new to bell tent camping, the benefits are not just in size.  Camping under canvas is a completely different experience to the standard polyester tent to sleep in.  No waking up feeling parched and sweaty....The breathable nature of the material, together with the four big vents the tents have, means you are actually sleeping in the fresh air. The vents and the main door have a separate bug screen, allowing the air to circulate through the tent, which all in all is very conducive to a good night's rest. To keep your cosy tent comfortable inside throughout your stay, we've provided a large bell tent awning, creating a shelter for boots, cooking, and maybe some star gazing.

Inside

There'll be a double or single bed configuration, whatever you need for your group.  The double beds (with proper mattresses!) and single camp beds are made up with double duvets and pillows with 100% cotton sheets and pillow cases.

Each tent will have one fixed double bed with a proper mattress and then up to 3 single camp beds...all with double duvets, pillows and linen....(max 2 adults 3 children)

There are apple crates to use as bed side tables, or a centre table or storage..  An led hurricane lamp is supplied with either a winder or a solar lamp.  A trunk has been placed in each tent for food storage and a 40 litre cool box for keeping things cool.  There is a freezer on site for changing the cool packs over. 2 large packs allocated for each tent and 2 in the freezer. There is a basket with spare blankets for those cooler nights.

Kitchen box - Each tent will be provided with a fire pit outside which also doubles up as a BBQ, for your culinary camping  creations.  Keeping it stylish, there will also be a crate of vintage inspired cooking and dining ware,  as follows... enamel dining ware, plate, bowl and mug for each person,  cooking pots, frying pan, kettle, tea/coffee pot, spatula, wooden spoons, serving spoons, colander, tea/coffee pot, bottle opener (an important one),  cutlery, scourer, tea towels. If we've forgotten anything, please let us know. There will also be a box of basic pantry essentials....oil, salt, pepper, sugar, tea bags and marsh mallows.

Outside

There's a picnic table for each tent, a fire pit with a grill for campfire cookery and BBQ.  Fire starting kit supplied.  More can be picked up from the honesty shop. There is a washing up area near the tents with running hot water and washing up liquid.

Honesty shop - Situated on the field for things to keep your fires burning during  your stay - kindling, logs, charcoal, matches, candles... etc!
