What a cracking place for a family holiday. What’s not to love about a glamping holiday with kids that gives you access to all the activities in Marwell Resort, near Winchester, Hampshire? The accommodation at Bell Tent Glamping at Marwell Resort is in… er, bell tents, and they’re all ready and waiting for you, so you can crack on with being on holiday from the moment you arrive on the camping field. As far as practical concerns go, each bell tent has a double bed and two singles (all with proper mattresses) as well as snuggly carpets, heating and power. Stuff that’s also included includes cutlery, crockery and a welcome pack of basic bits and bobs like tea and coffee. All you need to remember to pack is pillows, duvets and towels. Outside you can spark up the barbecue and eat at the picnic table. Don’t feel like cooking at all? Marwell Resort’s got you covered, with a restaurant serving really good food. And those family activities we mentioned? A soft-play centre for the youngest kids. Quad biking. Archery lessons. Clay shooting, fishing and zipwires… get the picture?

Local attractions

Well, the news for kids just keeps getting better: Marwell Zoo (10 minutes’ walk) is right next door to the camping field and in the morning you might get to hear monkeys chattering in the distance. You could easily spend a day there, getting (relatively) up close to endangered tigers and leopards, watching comical penguins splash around their pool or puttering around the grounds on the mini-train. And shush – whisper it in case the kids hear and mutiny if you say “no” to going – Paultons Park Home of Peppa Pig World is 20 minutes’ drive down the road. It’s probably on the bucket list of all younger kids for the Peppa Pig-themed rides, and older kids for the high-octane coasters. You could also try Ninja Warrior UK Adventure (also 20 minutes) in Southampton, with climbing courses and soft play guaranteed to (hopefully) wear the children out. If you’re trying to introduce a bit of culture into the family holiday, ancient Winchester (15 minutes) is a lovely place to start, with a stately cathedral, medieval Great Hall and Old Bishop’s Palace to discover, as well as 4D journey through the Solar System at Winchester Science Centre and Planetarium (20 minutes).

#1 bell tent

Liked The bathrooms are really well maintained and clean. The showers were warm.
The mattresses are comfy and the heater in the tent a massive bonus.
The kitchen area had pretty much everything you could need.
It’s a short very pretty drive to Winchester.

Disliked The muddy kitchen area. The kitchen area is bonus and great for making breakfast and a cuppa. But apart from a small section deck the rest of the kitchen tent is grass. It rained heavily and the grass area became very muddy.
The activities are expensive.
