Stargazer bell tent

Liked: Great hosts. Beautiful views in a large and comfortable bell tent. Comes with everything you need and a porcelain toilet 👍👍

Disliked: The toilet lock is too high so everytime my son wanted the toilet, I'd have to open it for him, then lock him inside and wait until he is finished to let him out. Please put a handle lower down so children can go by themselves.

From the manager: Thank you! We never thought of this and will sort out the lock straight away. We are grateful that you took the trouble to write a review

Stargazer bell tent

Liked: Absolutely beautiful site with so many welcoming and homely touches made by the owners. Bed was comfortable and the tent was warm and light. The log burner inside was a lovely touch. So much effort has been put in to make even a chemical toilet feel like a relaxing facility to use. Beautiful views and set in a really quiet and peaceful location!

Recommend to friends Visit again

Excellent Glamping location, clean facilities & friendly hosts.

Local attractions

Getting out for a walk is very straightforward here – you can access trails both long and short from the site or set off to one of the many trails in the area. Some favourite spots in the Forest of Dean include Soudley Ponds, Mallards Pike (both 10 minutes' drive) or Cannop Ponds (15 minutes), along with the atmospheric Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail (15 minutes). To get a bit more adrenaline flowing, try mountain bike outings from the Forest of Dean Cycle Centre (15 minutes) – it’s got bike hire for the skills area and cross-country trails as well as more easy-going trails (with e-bikes to hire too). If you’re with a gang of pals, you may like to try the games at Forest of Dean Paintball & Airsoft (15 minutes' walk); there are also Go Ape adventure courses at Mallards Pike (10 minutes) and Beechenhurst (15 minutes). If you'd like to drop by at a historic site while you’re in the area there are some great walks that take in Tintern Abbey (half an hour) or you could tack on a visit to the ruins of Goodrich Castle while canoeing around Symonds Yat (35 minutes).
