All our glamping accommodations are quipped with a small camp stove and kettle. There is a shared kitchen area with a gas burner and running water in the arboretum, where you will also find crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils, gas, washing up liquid, tea, coffee and sugar, so you have everything you need for a relaxing digital detox.
We supply you with bed linen, but we ask you to bring your own towels.
Walcot Hall’s hidden hideaways are glamping in the truest sense of the word! We are off-grid, so don’t expect to find electricity, but there are fairy lights for when the night draws in.
In the yurt field you will find hot showers and quirky flushing loos, you'll also fresh water points around the site.
If you are looking to book at the beginning or end of the season, please be aware that nights can get chilly, so it's best to come prepared! We do provide hot water bottles and logs (if your chosen accommodation has a wood burner).
Please note our glamping accommodation is only suitable for the more agile and adventurous. Sturdy footwear and a torch are essential, especially if you’re arriving after dark, as there are no lights in the arboretum.
Wellies are also useful if it has been wet.
If you would like to bring a cool box for your food we have a communal freezer in the passageway by the Estate office, where you are welcome to refreeze your blocks.

Seasonal
Summer
A picnic rug, hamper, and ice-block to keep your lunch fresh is essential. You may also choose to bring insect repellent for when you’re taking a woodland walk and sun cream for when you’re relaxing on a dappled glade!
Winter
Layering: lots of layers, gloves, and a hat are perfect for a long winter walk or bike ride. Just make sure your gloves and boots aren't too tight, and try not to wear too many pairs of socks – restricting blood flow to your hands and feet will make it even harder to get them warm. Wool is the way forward: When cotton gets wet it loses its insulating qualities. Opt for wool or synthetic materials to keep warm.
