Bell Tent - Lotus Belle TentsJun 2025

We had the most amazing stay on the weekend. I surprised my boyfriend and he loved it ! He loves camping and I like the more comfortable experience so we got the best of both worlds with a log burning stove (which was super cool), bbq, big bench for dinner, all the essential cutlery, crockery and gas cookers with pots and pans. We were also super surprised to have found 2 little bottles of Prosecco and water bottles in the cool box which just made the experience so much better. We loved the weekend and the bed was super comfy. The converted horse box showers and toilets were different but cool, just what the balance we needed for glamping ! We would love to be able to come back and try the tent with the hot tub next and see how different that experience is ! 10/10 would recommend

Perfect glamping

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.
