Hotel Bell Tent solves the issue of comfort and hassle that some people associate with camping in normal tents at festivals. No need to worry about setting up, just like a hotel you arrive and stay in the tents then leave with no worries about setting up or dismantling. The tents offer absolute luxury and home comfort and let you enjoy a comfy dry base at the festival whatever the weather decides to do. You even get the services of a 24 hour member of staff. We have limited tents available so if you're interested act fast to secure one. There's a range of options available depending on how many people stay.
