Situated a few miles inland from the North Norfolk Coast, just outside the charming village of Ringstead, is Blanca's Bell Tents. Set on a picturesque working organic farm, the five bell tents are nestled in a wild flower meadow. Each with a double bed and two futon-style beds, this is a wonderful place to get away with the children and explore all that Norfolk has to offer.
Off the beaten track and set deep in the Norfolk countryside with an abundance of footpaths in and around the farm, each bell tent makes a lovely home away from home for a few days escape.
Within each tent is a double bed and two futon beds. The futons are often chosen for children but can also accommodate adults. Please note that they are traditional futon-style beds rather than standard mattresses.
The interior space offers colourful furnishings, rugs and solar powered lighting. You can bring your own torch for extra lighting.
Outside each bell tent has its own picnic table and firepit which can be used as a BBQ for those alfresco evenings as the sun sets.
There is a kitchen cabin which is shared with the other tents; this has a fridge-freezer, microwave, toaster and kettle as well as a sink with running water. There are two hot showers and two WC's, both of which are also shared between the five tents.
There are plenty of walks from the farm and the outside area is large and perfect for those wanting to run free and wild! The village of Ringstead is home to The Gin Trap pub which is famous for its delicious seasonal menu, and only a few miles from Hunstanton where there is all kinds of water sports available and large sandy beaches.
Please note that this includes one individual tent. If you wish to book additional tents, they can be booked individually through the private listings or you can book the entire site using the full-site listing.

We were super happy with our weekend break. The tent was spacious and very comfortable. It was great to have a firepit as well as BBQ on hand. The area was lovely, secluded but with access to public walks and only a short drive from the beach. We had access to all facilities needed when you go camping, all was clean and well maintained. We will definitely come back!

We came to stay at Blancaâs bell tents with our 3 year old son and 6 month old daughter. Blancaâs communication was excellent from start to finish and she was very responsive to messages. The campsite itself is beautiful and secluded. There was a little goalpost and football on the site which my son loved. The tent itself was clean, the beds comfortable and warm, and the linen clean and fresh. We were able to buy firewood from Blanca for the fire pit and it was lovely to sit in the evenings with a fire and toast marshmallows. The shower and toilet cubicles were spotless, as was the little kitchen. The shower water was lovely and warm. You are close to lots of family friendly activities; Hunstanton Sea Life, beaches and we went over to Blakeney while there which is about 35 minutes away. We really enjoyed our first experience of glamping and would certainly book again.
