Puddleduck Glamping: Serene, private, well-equipped glamping with spotless facilities, including a smart bathroom and handy outdoor kitchen. Comfy, roomy bell tents. Hosts are lovely and helpful.

Bell tent (five person)
Liked Without a doubt, one of the best campsites in the UK! ⭐️
The facilities are excellent, with clean, comfortable and well-maintained toilets and showers. The surroundings are beautiful and peaceful, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
We had a perfect holiday here with a group of friends and couldn’t have asked for a better camping experience. We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended!

Bell tent (five person)
Liked From the moment we arrived, James the owner made us feel right at home. The campsite had everything we could possibly need for a brilliant trip—even tea and coffee provided, which was a lovely touch. Our tent was fantastic, and we especially loved waking up to the chickens roaming freely around the site.
If you have kids, this place is a dream. My son had the best time playing football in the open space and bouncing on the trampoline.
The bathroom was spotless, and having shampoo, body wash, and conditioner provided was a huge bonus.
The location is great with a brill bus service to Southport and lots of things to do. We went to East Lancashire Railway and Martin Mere Wetland centre, both were excellent.

Cotton-tail bell tent (two person)
Liked My husband and I stayed at Puddleduck this past weekend and I have to say it was a wonderful experience! We had chickens roaming freely, sparrow hawks, owls and buzzards were seen and heard, whereas our dog made herself comfy within the bell tent.
Both Jim and Carly made us welcome and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay, or recommend, again.
