Inside Out Bell Tents @ Hollows Farm

Nestled in a secluded part of the valley this traditional working hill farm is set amid some of the most beautiful scenery the Lake District has to offer, with plenty of walks from the door to suit all abilities. Climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, or simply relaxing on the shores of Derwent Water are all available too. Surrounded by beautiful woodland, stunning mountains and on the River Derwent you could not wish for a better location for your holiday.

Our Bell Tents offer the perfect combination of back-to-nature living, without compromising on all the usual luxuries you would wish for on your holiday. Spacious with comfortable beds, cosy wood burning stoves and lanterns, this really is luxury camping or 'Glamping' as we like to call it! Bell tents are for people who want something different from their holiday. For families, friends, lovers of the outdoors, romantics, those in search of adventure and anyone who wants a little bit of luxury but still wants to feel close to nature.

Whoever you are the Bell Tent experience has something to offer you. One you will never forget.

What is a Bell Tent
A tried and tested 19th century design which has stood the test of time. Originally used by the military, the design is simple; natural poly-cotton canvas hangs down from a central pole and is held in place with guy ropes, creating a delightful old-fashioned shape. Strong enough to withstand all the Lake District can throw at it, they are fully waterproof and when the sun is shining you can roll up the sides enjoy the breeze and let the outside in.

Our Bell Tents
Our Bell Tents are 5m in diameter so it is big enough for four people to sleep in quite happily. The outside cover is made from a thick poly cotton canvas, which is light, and neutral in colour. The Bell Tent has been raised off the ground to allow natural ventilation. With wooden floors and Moroccan rugs it holds in the warmth and provide all the comfort you need for the ideal holiday.

Some things you will find in our Bell Tent:

• Raised wooden flooring
• Wood burning stove with hot plate for those additional cooking needs.
• Comfortable futon style beds enough to sleep four people, consisting of one double and two single futons which conveniently and easily turn into seating during the day.
• A fully equipped and functional kitchen including all the things you are likely to need for four people to cook and dine with.
• Gas hobs and grill, no charge for gas.
• Sides that roll up enabling you to let the beauty of the outside in.
• Windows, allowing natural light and some fresh Lake District air in.
• Solar powered fairly lights and lighting.

Each Bell Tent sleeps four people, it has two single and a double futon.
