Our  bell tents are spacious canvas outdoor bedrooms, based on a classic design by Henry Hopkins Sibley from the mid nineteenth century. 

The tents come furnished with a double futon bed and two single "foldaway" mattresses, a carpet and rugs.  There are fairy lights and a couple of battery lamps in the tent, although you may want to bring a torch too.

Each tent comes with a dining shelter equipped a table and chairs, a gas ring, kettle, pans, cultlery and crockery.  They have solar powered lighting.

The tents are off grid, so there is no electric in them. There are electric sockets near by the picnic bench where you can charge your devices, or we are happy to charge them in our house.

See the Camp at the Valley page for general  information about the campsite and its facilities.
