Review of Plush Tents & Win a stay
If you go down to the woods today be sure of a big surprise,
because just hidden by a beautiful bluebell woods is a heavenly field scattered
with bell tents and yurts and glimpsing through the blossom a rather gorgeous
hot tub! In fact it’s Plush Tents, perhaps the last word in luxury camping.
Beautiful genuine Mongolian yurt tents are scattered around the site and down
its windy little paths and the odd elegant bell tent is found too.
Our boys were enchanted from the wonderful greeting we
received by the friendly on site staff (Mac – a wonderful, fun & friendly
guy) to the second we stepped inside our yurt. As children do they explored it
thoroughly within minutes and shot straight outside to try out the wooden
chairs then made a mad dash to the hammock circle and outdoor areas. Outside each
yurt and tent are handmade tables and benches which are perfect for sipping
your coffee at in the morning while you watch the sun rise (we have early
risers!)
The outdoor area is set away from the tents (allows a good
night away from any other guests staying up late) and incorporates a mess tent
for cooking up your dinner, an eating area if you’re feeling sociable, a
wonderful fire pit which is lit every evening and the hammock circle which I
could have slept in! We all watched the sun going down with drinks in our hands
(lemonade for the boys of course) and swung gentle while the fire was
started. The boys were allowed (under
strict supervision) to join in the building of the fire and had an incredible
time. There’s something about camping which allows you to quickly become
friends with complete strangers and the boys are dab hands at this. They hit it
off with the other children on site and played and ran round the fields while
we stayed by the fire and watched them (completely safe they can run and play
away from their parents if they wish while we can see them and they’re still
within hearing!)
We didn’t brave the hot tub but oh I wish we did! It’s an
8-12 wood fired hot tub which I suspect if I sank into I would have to be
dragged screaming out of it. In the morning it was still beautifully warm and
would be a perfect way to start the day!
We had an enchanted evening and an incredibly comfortable
sleep. The double bed was amazingly comfortable (I’m a fussy sleeper) and the
boys were asleep snuggled up before their heads hit their pillows! Absolutely
wonderful and worth the price! Toilets – well you can choose between the
eco-friendly ones or the proper good old fashioned ones. There’s a shower too
with a seemingly nonstop supply of hot water. Even one night away here relaxed
us all and at the end of the visit we had to forcibly bundle the boys in the
car while they cried because they didn’t want to leave! Just ask the onsite
staff if you want to leave and explore the area as they came up with some perfect
suggestions to match the days weather and most importantly – HURRY UP AND BOOK!
However why not enter the below competition yourself and
become like me a complete convert to the world of glamping!
