Hengrave Meadow Glamping opened in 2021 for 56 days, which was allowed within the rules at the time. With the rules changing back to venues being able to open for only 28 days a year, it was time to apply for planning permission, which was granted.
 
Hengrave Meadow has three traditional bell tents set within two acres of meadow, which teems with wildlife and includes two natural ponds.
 
It is an adults-only site to ensure the peace and tranquillity for guests, but children are welcome when all three tents are booked by the same group, making it a perfect location for an extended family gathering or friends reunion – and exclusive use of the meadow.
 
Owner Duncan Smith said he wants guests to have a wonderful experience, not just a night’s accommodation.
 
The tents are fully furnished with coir matting, rugs, chairs, cushions, a proper double bed and hotel-quality bedding.
 
Each tent has its own dedicated, outside, fully-equipped camp kitchen with barbecue and seating under suspended sail shades.
 
There is a private shower room and toilet for each tent in a custom-made shepherd’s hut, plus a communal pot wash and social eating area within the old stables.
 
There are books and games to borrow and bread, milk and eggs to purchase.
