  • Family-sized bell tents at a peaceful Lancashire pop-up glamping site
  • Southport and Formby beaches half an hour's drive away
  • Firepit, woodburning stove and kitchenette for each tent
Get yourselves a lovely slice of rural Lancashire life at Puddleduck Glamping, a pop-up glamping site in the little village of Much Hoole, around 20 minutes’ drive from the centre of Preston. There are only a few bell tents set up at this sizeable site, so you should have plenty of space in which to relax, or let the kids have a good run around. There are pretty countryside views all around, and easy access to footpaths nearby for walks to local villages. Also within a few minutes’ walk are a farm shop, a fishery and a pump cycle track, so that’s several handy things you won’t need to get in the car for. The farm shop (again, just a short walk away) is a useful place for supplies – either for your kitchenette (which has a gas hob, kettle, toaster and various utensils) or for an evening by the firepit out in your private area. If you’d like to expand your cooking adventures, you’ll have the option to hire a pizza oven for your stay too (and if you’d rather someone else did the cooking, there are several cafés and restaurants five minutes’ drive away in Longton). The bell tents at this site are family-friendly, sleeping up to two adults and three kids in a double bed and three optional single camp beds (bed linen provided for the double bed, but you’ll need to bring your own sleeping bags/duvets, etc, for the camp beds). There’s also a woodburning stove in each tent, with kindling and logs for this and the firepit available to buy on site. High-quality toilets and showers are in a shared facility close to your tent.

Liked A lovely little campsite with only three tents, very well spaced apart and screened by a little hedge. It felt nice and private chickens roaming around, the host was very friendly and helpful. kitchen area had everything you needed, plus microwave and fridge freezer. Excellent bathroom like a like a bathroom you would have at home. Recommend Formby Beach was amazing.

Bell tent (five person)

Liked Absolutely beautiful site. James (the owner) was incredibly friendly & helpful.
The bed was one of the mosf comfortable beds I have ever slept on.!
The kitchen area has everything you need to cook.
We loved having the chickens wander around & being able to purchase fresh eggs
We will definitely be back.

Disliked More regular cleaning of the shared bathroom facilities & for the shared hand towels to be changed frequently.
Possibly let guests know which shelf in the communal fridge they can use, as other guests when we arrived had already taken over most the fridge.

Liked Everything. The owner James provides a warm welcome and the whole site is fantastic. Can't rate it highly enough. Small and friendly for a relaxing break. Located perfectly for our trip to The Open Golf at Southport. The communal kitchen area is well equipped with more than you would expect - fridge freezer, gas hob, microwave, kettle, charging points etc. The bathroom is fantastic, like you would have at home. Loved the firepit with BBQ grill. Everywhere is kept spotlessly clean. For younger children there is play equipment.

Liked This was our 2nd time here! Still absolutely amazing! Beautiful site & the kids loved the swing & slide. Lots of information for takeaways & the local area, free range eggs for sale from the chickens on site. Stunning bathroom that is very clean & a fully functional outdoor kitchen. The bell tents themselves are clean & cosy. We will definitely be returning again!

Liked We absolutely loved our stay. The tents were well spaced out, giving plenty of privacy. The facilities were immaculate with everything we needed.
The host was so friendly and helpful throughout our visit.
There are lovely walks straight from the site and places to eat just a few minutes drive away.
It was perfect for us and the dogs. we enjoyed every minute and will definitely be returning.

Local attractions

If you’re keen to soak up as much rural fresh air as you can, perhaps you’d like to spend an afternoon by the lake at Martin Hall Fishery (10 minutes’ walk) or take a good stroll around Longton Brickcroft Nature Reserve (five minutes’ drive). There’s lots of good wildlife to see at the Owl & Bird of Prey Sanctuary (10 minutes), too. Or how about taking in a bit of sea air for a change? The beaches of Southport and Formby are both about half an hour’s drive away – head to the former for traditional seaside attractions and the latter to see if you can spot red squirrels in the coastal nature reserve. Beyond all that, there’s plenty more – maybe a stroll around the Tudor house and grounds of Rufford Old Hall (15 minutes), birdwatching at WWT Martin Mere (15 minutes), a gin tour at Brindle Distillery (25 minutes) or some time spent admiring the shiny exhibits of The British Commercial Vehicle Museum (20 minutes)?
