Our fully furnished belltents are ideal for hen partys, family gatherings and group bookings for birthdays and reunions. Our belltents are top quality glamping but in a natural setting; a private field surrounded by a Nature Reserve.

There is a lot of space for relaxing, family games, skywatching and all with a stunning view of Glastonbury Tor. We are ideally placed as an off-site glamping experience with good access to Glastonbury festival as well.

Our log cabin is a quirky but comfortable space to relax and unwind with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside. It is perfect for romantic getaways, honeymoons or small gatherings as well as being a peaceful place for a retreat.

The site lends itself to being an escape from busy lives and hectic schedules. Here, we provide space for both your mind and body.

Our Ethics and Conservation Commitment

We believe that celebrating with family and friends and having fun should not come at a cost to our planet. We also believe that being ethical should not compromise the standard of facilities offered.

Therefore, when you book your stay here you can be confident that we are considering both these aspects all the time. With that in mind we re-invest available money into our nature reserve with wildflower field, wildlife pond and woodland surrounding the site to benefit wildlife and enhance the environment. Our two newest projects have been to enlarge the wildlife pond (which we believe has Great Crested Newts in)  and to plant 600 native shrubs to provide a protective corridor and habitat across our fields to link Southwood and Westwood (neither of which we own).

We are off grid with electricity provided by solar power which does not use fossil fuels. This is backed up when necessary by a  diesel generator which is enough for everyday use. Please note that being off grid means we are not on mains electric like most people are used to  but we have sufficient electricity for lighting, fridges etc but not for high output electrical equipment like space heaters, irons, hairdryers, curlers, catering equipment etc. Using these could cause the system to fail. If you require such equipment you will need to organise a generator and we have contact details for these or just get in touch so we can advise whether the system will be okay. We are therefore not able to charge electric cars but can inform guests of local charge points.

We are passionate about recycling and we provide plenty of bins to this end so we ask our guests to be responsible about sorting their rubbish correctly. We would also ask guests to consider the type of food and drink and the amount being brought onto site as well as the packaging involved, as this will determine how much is wasted and needs recycling. We appreciate that it is difficult to gauge how much will be required but we have become increasingly concerned about the excesses involved in recent years. We want landfill to be a last resort for us all.

Due to the site being a Nature Reserve, we would also ask guests to refrain from bringing celebratory items such as balloons with plastic confetti or similar in as these end up as litter in the hedges and ditches.

We provide eco products which are better for our system as well as being better for us.
