How Glamping should be...Bellbrook Meadow lovingly combines nature & comfort. Stunning views & starry skies are married with proper beds & unique facilities including a private bathroom with hot shower & flushing toilet and a kitchen area with fridge & proper gas hob (all next to your tent). There's also a log fire, BBQ & fire pit as well as games, activities, a grass maze, mud kitchens & space to indulge in some 'green time'. We're a quiet & sustainable site for just 3 luxurious 6m bell tents.
Bellbrook Meadow is a quiet, rural site with an abundance of wildlife. Wake up to the sound of birdsong and beautiful views and spend evenings around the fire star gazing and toasting marshmallows. Bookings of two tents or the entire meadow are very welcome, as our families and couples.
Our boutique tents ensure guests can enjoy a luxurious glamping experience. Each tent is pitched on a wooden base and has full coir matting as well as rugs. They all have the luxury of a private bathroom and kitchen pod, which is just a few metres away. The bathroom has full a sized shower with hot water, a sink and flushing toilet.
The bijou kitchen area is well equipped and has a phone charging point, a full sized fridge, a 2 ring gas hob, and hot and running cold water (from our own spring so perfect for drinking). It is enclosed on two sides and has a roof so cooking in the great British weather won't be a chore!
Each tent has it's own character and layout. Campion mixes modern metal with antique rugs. There's a king size bed and two single beds all with proper mattresses. If needed we can also put an extra mattress in there which is great for younger children. For storage there's two bedside tables and a chest of drawers. Each tent also has a small table and two chairs.
All the tents also have a wood burner, fire pit, BBQ and reclaimed outdoor furniture. We provide a complimentary basket of local wood and a bag of eco charcoal. Additional wood is £10 a bag.
Whilst there's a great deal of nature & space around we don't have any cafés or shops in the area except The Red Lion pub in nearby Oakford. The nearest shops are in lovely Bampton (5 miles) which has cafes, pubs and a great play area for children. We love it here but it's not everyone's cup of tea. However it's perfect for those who truly want to get away from it all and enjoy the great outdoors.
Bellbrook Farm has a coarse fishing lake that is stocked with beautiful Emperor carp and is just a short walk down the lane from Bellbrook Meadow. Tickets are £25 for quarter of a lake and more details are available on our website - Bellbrook Carp Lake.
There's also lots of quaint Devon attractions to explore within 30 minutes drive from museums to canal barge trips and pony treks across Exmoor and as we are only 2 miles from the North Devon Link Road beautiful beaches are easy to reach as a day trip. For our foodie guests there are also several very good gastropubs within 15 minutes drive and some great farmers markets locally.
Bellbrook Meadow is a wild flower meadow and as such we don't mow the grass, apart from the pathways and areas in front of the tents. It is kept long all year round to help protect and encourage wildlife.
This is part of what makes us a sustainable and ethical holiday destination. As well as this the hand built pods are made from local larch, the furnishings are sustainably sourced and the power comes from 100% renewable sources and there are recycling facilities on site. All our cleaning products and toiletries are environmentally friendly and refilled so there's no single use plastic.
As a sustainable site we also strongly discourage the use of disposable bbqs and bottled water (our water is delicious and rigorously tested). We also ask that you use our biodegradable toiletries if at all possible.
This small site is home to just a handful of campers at a time and to keep that sense of space and privacy we have set each 6m tent approximately 25m apart. To ensure the peace and quiet, pup tents and extra visitors are not allowed and quiet hours are 22.00 to 07.00.
There is NO vehicular access to the tent. Parking for ONE car per tent is in the car park. Campion is the nearest tent and is approximately 25m from the parking area. We provide wheel barrows for transporting luggage from the car to your tent.
Guest access is restricted solely to the Glamping Meadow, which is several acres. The adjoining fields and farm are private and this is clearly marked by green signs. We provide an OS map so you can enjoy the local walks.
We provide towels, bedding, tea towels, cloths, washing up liquid, fair trade tea, coffer, hot chocolate & sugar as well as Faith In Nature toiletries. We suggest you bring wellies and torches. As there is no electricity in the tent it is lit by a rechargeable lantern which can be charged in your kitchen.
For your safety and peace of mind we have public liability insurance and the tents are fireproof.
We hope to see you soon and if you have any questions please ask.
