THE SAFARI TENTS (sleeps 6)
The tents measure 9m x 5m and are erected onto raised wooden platforms which offer insulation from the ground and they are fully lined. Each tent has three bedrooms, a large double, a twin and a bunk room. There is a well equipped kitchen area with good surfaces for food preparation, a gas hob, a sink with cold running water and a small fridge with the essential ice tray. The rest of the tent is an open plan living and dining area with comfortable seating, a good large table and a wood burning stove. The front opens onto a deck surrounded by a handmade ash fence which creates the perfect setting for those welcome sundowners!
Bathrooms are in a separate log cabin at the back but still on the same wooden platform. They provide a flushing loo, basin and hot shower. Water is heated by another woodburning stove in the bathroom.
There are duvets and pillows onall the beds – linen and towels are extra and beds can be made up if required. There are two solar powered lights in the tents and one or two in each bathroom.
CEDARS
This is a safari tent on the edge of woodland on the Bereleigh Estate. Cedars offers total privacy with magnificent views over farmland. Complete freedom for children in a safe and natural environment with all the wonders of the wood to explore. Just a stone’s throw away you will find a flint circled campfire surrounded by large sandstone boulders. The campfire not only offers the perfect night time setting for all the family to gather around and enjoy but an alternative cooking method. Challenge yourself to cook a meal over an open fire! A large handmade oak table located between the campfire and tent allows Glampers to enjoy their meals in the heart of the woodland, positioned in the shade it offers shelter from the famous hot English sunshine throughout the summer months.
OAKS, BEECHES AND FIRS
These three new tents are situated in a large grassy field next to a small wood.
Oaks and Beeches are located near each other and are ideal for friends or families wanting to holiday together but at the same time retaining some independence.
- Firs is a short distance away which provides a little more privacy but is close enough should a party require all three tents.
- All three tents have their own fire pits, outside picnic tables and chairs and there are swings/hammocks in the trees.
- Children will love exploring the wood which has a number of trees perfect for making camps and a wooden tree platform for the more adventurous. There is also a large fire pit area with benches and seats if larger parties want to get together in the evenings and there is plenty of wood to be found for camp fires.
