Cotswold Bells

Stylish fully-furnished bell tents in the Oxfordshire countryside
A 20-minute drive from Blenheim Palace; 40 minutes to Oxford and Stowe
Kitted out with a hot shower and firepit; first night's logs supplied

Buckle in for a stay at Cotswold Bells, where palaces, castles and country houses are within driving distance. Fully kitted out for a glamping break, these stylish bell tents call the Oxfordshire countryside home and the pleasant rural landscapes around the site are rather delicious. But, what’s a short drive away? Well, there’s Banbury’s open-air pool (15 minutes’ drive), Blenheim Palace (20 minutes’ drive) or Oxford and the National Trust's Stowe (40 minutes’ drive). Come evening, the shared firepit might take the limelight here. The site supplies the first night's logs and afterwards, there are more available for a small charge. Those of you planning on prepping your own food will have crockery, cutlery, mugs and glasses for up to 15 people at your disposal. Whenever you feel like eating out somewhere nice, there are a couple of pubs within five minutes’ drive of the site. As for supplies, shops are only a little further, around 10 minutes’ drive away in Bloxham. On site, there’s a large grassy area – time to challenge the gang to a game of rounders or football, perhaps? On top of that, the bell tents are fully kitted out with a hot shower and toilet, with access to a dishwashing area too.
