Bain View Glamping

Beautiful accommodation, in a lovely scenic location. Peaceful and relatively private. Really comfortable beds, and everything was well thought out.

Sound of the road and no blind on the glass doors, so it got bright early!

Everything was absolutely stunning-the hut is immaculate with the comfiest bed and best shower we've ever used! The first night there we saw hundreds of stars and the milky way because it is a dark sky area, from the hut we saw sheep, cows, bats, cranes, dragonflies, hares and swallows that swooped down into the pond to catch their tea, the sunsets were amazing and it was awesome watching the military jets and aircraft flying overhead in the day, very central to lots of different areas, well done guys the whole experience was 11/10 .

Disliked nothing-but maybe a non-ticking clock would be useful in the hut and a few fairy lights around the inside of the pagoda.

The view
The space for the dog to roam at the shepards hut
The fire pit
The cleanliness
Very comfy, everything we needed

No shelter to be outside when it was rainy

Lexi and Charles are wonderful hosts. They made us feel welcome and answered all our questions. Bell Tent is wonderful with everything you need. we really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful place to stay. Attention to details was excellent. Loved the secured area for my little dog to roam free. Loved being able to cook outside and the kitchen had everything I needed.

The sofa seat was not very comfortable. Would prefer a cosier seat for in front of the fire.

A wonderful place to spend a few days with a great shower, comfy bed and toasty log burner. The hut only has usb points which was perfect and meant I could switch off with a book. Lexi and Charles are really lovely and helpful

The hosts were beyond lovely and helpful, the shepherds hut was so beautiful. Sat in such beautiful scenery. It’s the perfect spot to get away and relax and enjoy nature. We took along our pup and she loved it too. Some lovely walks all around.

What a truly wonderful couple of days!
This was our first time Glamping. We went as a family of four. 2 adults and 2 children, aged 4 and 10, and had the most amazing 2 nights.
Undoubtedly, an October Glamping trip was bound to be a little chilly, but the numerous blankets, log burner and outside fire pit, meant we weren’t cold for long.
From the moment we booked online, the hosts Lexi and Charles were excellent. Undoubtedly, as first time Glampers, we had a few questions (ok, a lot of questions) and these were all answered. (No question too silly. Very helpful hosts)
On arrival, Lexi met us at the entrance and went through everything we needed to know. It was nice to know CCTV cameras kept an eye on the car park/entrance area, without invading the privacy of the tent area. A key (given to us to look after, during our stay) meant the gate was always locked whilst we were on site.
Lexi helpfully talked us through using the gas cooking hob in the kitchen area, how to use the compostable toilet and explained how the shower worked and also the log burner in the tent. All very simple when you know how. They also supplied all of the eco-friendly shower gel, hand soap, shampoo and conditioner, which was a nice touch.
Lexi made a point of saying, any issues or worries - just call! Always comforting to know.
The car was parked only about 80 metres from the tent. The wheel barrow provided, to carry our luggage from the car, was much more exciting than the usual hotel carriers! A sure hit with the children too.
Upon entering the large colonial, spacious bell tent. Your breath was taken away with the beautiful interior, decor. A lovely ecclesiastical collection of African furniture donned the room, giving a wonderfully cosy and warm feeling upon entry. Once you had taken your shoes off at the door, you were able to walk on soft carpet and rugs - loved this!
The beds were a dream, thick and cosy and laden in thick quality bedding. Even the two camp beds the children slept in were provided with the same thought and care - with plenty of blankets for extra warmth.
We cooked our own food on the fire initially, then ended up finishing it on the gas hob as it was a little windy - chicken and salad. However the lovely Smokey taste was absorbed into the chicken from its initial camp fire cooking.
Later we had a few drinks by the camp fire and the children loved toasting marshmallows. We took some outside speakers and enjoyed playing some chilled music played through our phone.
The usb charging points inside the tent were a lovely touch. And although we tried to remain tech free (within reason) we were able to charge our appliances when needed.
Waking up in this beautiful area, was just wonderful! Donned with a freshly made hot cup of coffee, a cosy blanket and happy, well rested children, we were able to sit on the comfy wooden chairs and watch the sheep dog in the adjacent field, rounding up the sheep. Then in the next field, the children loved watching the red Lincolnshire cows strutting their stuff!
A few more metres and you are at the river. The children were aware of the safety and boundaries - but at the same time, loved the freedom and open space to play in. It made a fantastic area for hide and seek!
The second day we ventured to Gibraltar point nature reserve - where we enjoyed looking out for unusual birds and playing on the sand. The children brought home a collection of pretty shells they found on the beach.
We stopped by beautiful Woodhall Spa on the way home and ended up having an unplanned meal at ‘The Mall’ - also highly recommend!
If you are wanting ideas for the day, Lexi and Charles have also provided a helpful and detailed folder, containing walks, places to visit and eateries. (They really have thought of everything)
Once back at the Glamping site, we were able to once again, relax with a few drinks and set the fire going. Always room for toasted marshmallows!
The shower each morning was lush!

Nothing

The most beautiful place we've ever camped/glamped in!
Where to start!? The serenity of the place, so quiet, woke up to the view of cows and sheep across the water. The beautiful bell tent that had been kitted out perfectly. The views!!! The fireplace to keep us cozy on the cold evenings. The firepit outside to roast marshmallows and cook on. The stars!! Everything was just perfect, it was like a fairytale 🥰
Lexi & Charles were great hosts. Came and met us on arrival and delivered us logs for the fire. The place is eco-friendly. We will definitely be back!

Lovely shepherds hut with everything you need for a relaxing break.
Site was lovely it is off a main B road but hut itself is set back from Road so some traffic noise to be expected on an evening however it was lovely and peaceful.
Host Lexi was fabulous and explained how to work everything particularly the compost loo!
Would definitely stay again and look forward to seeing the site develop 😊
