Set in two picturesque locations, either the wildflower meadow or the willow field, our four Lotus Belle tents offer the perfect blend of nature, adventure, and comfort. Whether you're taking a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear spring-fed ponds, unwinding in a hammock with a book, or simply soaking in the peace and beauty of your surroundings, this is a place to relax, reconnect, and revive.
Each tent is thoughtfully designed with comfortable furnishings, luxury mattress toppers, wool blankets and comes with its own private hot shower and compost toilet, ensuring a restful and secluded stay. Being off-grid doesn't mean going without, each tent has wi-fi, a Roberts radio with bluetooth and somewhere to charge your phone or laptop. Enjoy the freedom of cooking outdoors in your private gazebo kitchen-diner, which includes a wood-burning stove—perfect for alfresco meals. Or rest in your own 'Fatboy' hammock.
The ponds are there for you to swim in at all day-time hours. For an extra touch of indulgence, book a session in our off-grid spa, featuring a horse-box sauna.
With star-studded skies overhead and an excellent pub serving delicious food just a short stroll away, Oakhill Ponds offers the perfect setting to breathe, unwind, and reconnect with nature.
