Tent 2 Tanglewood

Tent 2 Tanglewood suits families wanting outdoor adventure without sacrificing comfort, or couples after something different. The safari tent sleeps four across two bedrooms—a double and two bunks—with an open-plan living and dining area, separate toilet, and enough space to move around. One well-behaved dog can come along free of charge, though it must stay on a lead in this sheep-farming country. Electricity, bed linen and towels are provided; you'll need to bring torches, as the location deliberately has no artificial light at night.

The tent sits on the owners' 75-acre organic farm at the edge of woodland. There's a covered veranda with seating and a barbecue, and an outside shower. A single parking space is allocated on site. The setting allows children room to explore and play among trees, while adults can settle into the quieter surroundings. The kitchen has a gas hob and cool box for basic self-catering. This is a working farm with other properties on site, so you're not entirely alone—but the tent itself is yours for the duration of your stay. No smoking inside.
