Family-sized bell tents at a peaceful Lancashire pop-up glamping site
Southport and Formby beaches half an hour's drive away
Firepit, woodburning stove and kitchenette for each tent

Get yourselves a lovely slice of rural Lancashire life at Puddleduck Glamping, a pop-up glamping site in the little village of Much Hoole, around 20 minutes’ drive from the centre of Preston. There are only a couple of bell tents set up at this sizeable site, so you should have plenty of space in which to relax, or let the kids and dogs have a good run around. There are pretty countryside views all around, and easy access to footpaths nearby for walks to local villages. Also within a few minutes’ walk are a farm shop, a fishery and a pump cycle track, so that’s several handy things you won’t need to get in the car for. That farm shop is a useful place for supplies – either for your kitchenette (which has an electric hob, a kettle and various utensils) or for an evening by the firepit out on your patio. If you’d like to expand your cooking adventures, you’ll have the option to hire a pizza oven for your stay too (and if you’d rather someone else did the cooking, there are several cafés and restaurants five minutes’ drive away in Longton). The bell tents at this site are family-friendly, sleeping up to two adults and three kids in a double bed and three optional single camp beds (bed linen provided for the double bed, but you’ll need to bring your own sleeping bags/duvets etc for the camp beds). There’s also a woodburning stove in each tent, with kindling and logs for this and the firepit available to buy on site. High-quality toilets and showers are in a shared facility close to your tent.

Bell tent

Liked: We had the most amazing time! We couldn’t have asked for anything more. The tents are a really good size, the beds are so comfy & the log burner inside makes it super cosy. The facilities on site are second to none which include a full bathroom with waterfall shower, outdoor kitchenette with everything you’d get in a normal kitchen. We hired the pizza oven for our stay which was fab & really easy to use (with the help of James on the first go). The site itself is lovely & perfect for dogs. We took our 4 month old cocker spaniel & she loved it. James was a brilliant host and couldn’t have been more helpful. Well definitely recommend to other & visit again ourselves.

Disliked: Nothing at all, everything was perfect.

Liked: Puddleduck Glamping is a hidden gem and we’re so glad we found it! James was a great host and the facilities are the best we have been to. Ideal for parents to relax with a young child, the play area is a great addition. Rocky was a personal favourite with my daughter! The bell tent was cosy with the stove lit in the evening and the bed very comfortable. The campers kitchen has everything you need and more, and was immaculately clean… as was the lovely bathroom. We’ll definitely be recommending to friends and can’t wait to come back again!

Disliked: Nothing, everything was catered for and well thought out with care and attention.

Liked: Just arrived back from a 2 day stay at Puddleduck Glamping. This is a fabulous little glamping site which is perfect for families with younger or older children. Perfect for those who are not used to camping or who still like to have some home comforts. The beds are so comfy and the bell tents would easily fit a family of 5. There is a fully equipped outdoor kitchen with everything you need including utensils, pans, cups, glasses etc. There is even tea, coffee and sugar. The bell tents are situated in the grounds of the family home and it is very quiet and peaceful, just what you need to get away from the everyday stresses of life. Our little 6 month old Maltipoo puppy also loved it, especially chasing the chickens! The hosts are very friendly and are on hand if you need anything at all. James was extremely friendly and helpful.

I would recommend to anyone and will definitely return in the future.

Disliked: There was nothing to dislike - everything was perfect

Local attractions

If you’re keen to soak up as much rural fresh air as you can, perhaps you’d like to spend an afternoon by the lake at Martin Hall Fishery (10 minutes’ walk) or take a good stroll around Longton Brickcroft Nature Reserve (five minutes’ drive). There’s lots of good wildlife to see at the Owl & Bird of Prey Sanctuary (10 minutes), too. Or how about taking in a bit of sea air for a change? The beaches of Southport and Formby are both about half an hour’s drive away – head to the former for traditional seaside attractions and the latter to see if you can spot red squirrels in the coastal nature reserve. Beyond all that, there’s plenty more – maybe a stroll around the Tudor house and grounds of Rufford Old Hall (15 minutes), birdwatching at WWT Martin Mere (15 minutes), a gin tour at Brindle Distillery (25 minutes) or some time spent admiring the shiny exhibits of The British Commercial Vehicle Museum (20 minutes)?
