Amber's Bell Tents: 

Mannington Hall is where Amber’s camp site story began. She started here in 2012 with just 2 tents situated in a small meadow in the grounds of the main house. Today, her flagship site is home to 6 of our cosy and stylish 6m bell tents nestled deep within this hidden swathe of North Norfolk countryside in partnership with the team at Mannington. The tents are situated on ‘Owl’s Retreat’, a beautiful 3 acre square field rooted within the estate and home to a family of Barn Owls that can be seen hunting in the twilight. 

Owl’s Retreat backs onto a wilderness water meadow – a nature reserve with a circular board walk which snakes through the towering wild flowers and plants in the height of Summer. There is a bird hide, for budding twitchers and a pond where little ones can explore the water life – tadpoles in the Spring, dragonfly larvae in the Summer. From the tents, campers can walk through paths and into the impressive Mannington Hall Gardens, which are open to the public a few hours a week during the summer months, but which are part of the experience for our campers here.
