GLAMPSITES Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve Description: A safari park/tourist attraction and wedding venue in Kent which also offers various types of accommodation (including a glamping pod section) for short breaks for visiting guests. These include tree houses, lodges and glamping pods as well as an on-site hotel Structures: Three Boutique glamping tree houses Supplier: The Hideout House Company Telephone: 01832 275902 Website: www.superglamp.com Details: Each luxurious tree house features a main guest bedroom (with a double bed and pull-out sofa bed) complete with an en-suite WC, washbasin and shower room, and is furnished to the highest standards. For extra comfort, guests can enjoy the warmth of a log burning stove for the colder months, smart TV, fridge and hot drink making facilities. The tree houses are externally clad in a wany-edged Siberian larch with distinctive Gothic style arched windows to give them that extra natural “look and feel” as they are set among towering pine trees near to the park’s Amur tiger habitat. Cedar shingle tiles are used on the roof. All internal fixtures and fittings were specified by Port Lympne and it undertook all of the service connection works with its onsite grounds staff. Tree houses are consistently the most sought after and popular type of accommodation for glamping holidays and short breaks in the UK. As a result of this trend, Port Lympne reported extremely healthy levels of bookings for the summer and way beyond into autumn too. A treehouse stay costs £399 per night during peak season. Feedback: Bob O’Connor, managing director, said: “This year we created a very special type of accommodation here at Port Lympne Hotel and Reserve. The Forest Dens supplied by the Hideout House Company perfectly match the style we are trying to achieve and have been extremely well received by our guests. They are a great addition to our estate.” Harvest Moon Holidays Description: A coastal glampsite in East Lothian with its own beach Structures: Seven bespoke tree houses and outbuildings Supplier: Cheeky Monkey Treehouses Telephone: 01403 732452 Website: www. cheekymonkeytreehouses. com Details: Seven bespoke tree houses were created to the client’s requirements. They were based on a large octagonal cabin, which acts as the main lounge, with a kitchen-diner and walkway leading to bedrooms and a separate WC/shower room. The Cheeky Monkey team worked with a variety of third parties and accommodated their needs and timings. The build team was hard working and flexible, and annual maintenance contracts were put in place to ensure that any snags are rectified. Feedback: Alex Mitchell, owner of Harvest Moon Holidays, said: “Our fabulous tree houses have been designed exclusively to offer our guests the highest degree of space and comfort. All guests have absolutely loved the accommodation comprising two double bedrooms, one with an extra single bunk above, and an en-suite WC and hot shower room. “A covered walkway leads to the beautiful octagonal living area, which is fully kitted out with our trademark Belfast sink, Italian logburning stove, pretty pine dresser and all the pots, pans, cutlery, crockery and utensils you could possibly need. It also has a yacht-style table which drops down to form a bed for extra guests. “The amazing raised deck allows guests to take advantage of the breathtaking views to the sea and the famous Bass Rock from the front and to the forest behind. The deck stands two metres off the ground with wooden steps to access the accommodation. Below deck are swings and love seat on the soft sandy ground.” 48 WWW.OPENAIRBUSINESS.COM
