Frequently asked questions
What is Beautiful Bell Tents?
We are a family-run business based in Northamptonshire providing bell tent hire for all occasions. Some call it 'glamping', others just call it 'camping without the faff'.
Our most popular booking is wedding accommodation for which we provide any number of tents for any number of guests. We also offer tents for smaller events such as garden parties and birthdays.
Our standard bell tents are five metres in diameter and can be hired at a range of prices through our three main packages.
Do you have a campsite?
No, we come to you. Many glamping companies provide a campsite with permanent pitches. However, our business is focused on offering you our beautiful tents at a location of your choosing and providing you have permission to use the land we are able to pitch our tents at a location that suits you.
What packages do you offer?
We offer:
- The Classic
- The Deluxe
- The Super Deluxe.
As standard, our tents come as 1x 5m diameter bell tent; carpet flooring; fairy-lit central pole; door mat; external bunting and external fairy-lighting.
The Classic is our cheapest option for which we provide our standard tent and no frills. Airbeds can be individually hired at an additional cost, as well as any other of our extras that come as standard with out Deluxe or Super Deluxe packages. If you just want a tent and nothing else feel free to bring your own airbeds, sleeping bags and whatever else you need.
The Deluxe comes with airbeds (single and/or double) as standard including bedding. This package can be booked for two persons or four persons, although additional airbeds can be hired. We include soft furnishings such as cushions, rag rugs, mirrors and apple crate bedside tables.
The Super Deluxe is our top-end offering for which we provide all of the above as well as a rustic wooden bed with real mattress. We consider this our 'honeymoon suite' so as standard we provide
complimentary champagne and a
flowers.
Table and chairs can be booked by arrangement and individual breakfast boxes can be purchased for £7.50pp.
