  • Remote, pop-up glamping site in North Bedfordshire
Escape from it all at our pop-up glamping site (June-Sep only) - The Grove at Melchbourne. Immerse yourself in nature and switch off from the world. In a beautiful shaded woodland grove which looks out over a majestic valley, you can stay in one of our four bell tents - Olive, Audrey, Roddy and Pearl. It's England at its loveliest. Please note - although we can accept 4 guests (2 adults, 2 children) in each bell tent, we can only accept a max of 2 adults per tent/booking. Each tent comes with its own fire pit and A-frame for flame-grilled cooking at its best. We will supply you with a basket of wood, kindling and firelighters so you’re good to get grilling! Our site has two showers with hot water as well as two composting toilets. Don’t worry if you’ve never used a composting toilet - it’s really easy and it’s good for the environment! We provide eco-friendly toiletries and clean towels for all of our guests. Our field kitchen features gas powered BBQs, gas burners, cooking utensils, plates, cups, glasses and cutlery, basic condiments, tea and coffee making facilities, as well as plenty of seating. There is a covered area allowing you to cook and eat with friends and family. We rent cooler boxes and ice at the site.
