Glamping at Parley by PitchingIt

Me gustó: Location was great and the cafe at the golf club was very convenient and reasonably priced.

No me gustó: Grass could do with being cropped shorter to save on wet trainers walking through long grass.

Facilities don't match the cost for those staying in glamping bell tents, £100+ a night, but were adequate for camping setup just not a glamping setup.

Me gustó: Bell tent was nice area was good kids liked seeing aeroplanes taking off. Beds were nice and good to have a small box to put things in. Didn't use club house in evening but looked shut when we got back on site. Would use again for a overnight stop but would make sure I had a power bank with me for charging kids phones as no electric.

No me gustó: No lights in tent and no toilet roll in toilets overnight would recommend taking own. No car access to pitch.

Me gustó: Convenient for the Bournemouth air show.

Fire pits available.

No me gustó: Everything else.

We paid £80 per night for the glamping tent with beds. We arrived in the evening and the airbeds were almost deflated so had a terrible nights’ sleep. Requested that they be pumped up for the next night so they left a foot pump for us to sort it out ourselves.

I also asked if we could borrow a dustpan and brush to sweep the tent out as it hadn’t been cleaned and there were bit of biscuit all over the floor. No one bothered to help with this so we had to live with it.

The shower and toilet block were old and filthy. I don’t think they can have been cleaned properly in a while.

I’ve been camping for the last 15 years and this is one of the worst sites for cleanliness and amenities. Especially seeing as I paid £160 for 2 nights. Shocking.

Del administrador: Whilst its great to hear you enjoyed the Bournemouth Airshow from our Glampsite, I'm sorry if your experience could have been better.

On the night in question, we would have been happy to switch you to an alternative Bell Tent should we have been notified of your dissatisfaction with your tent. As we are based on Parley Court Camping site (with Parley Golf their reception) it seems somehow your message never came across to us, we will bring this up with the Glampsite manager for future.

Sadly, during airshow week all prices are sky-high (no pun intended) across the Bournemouth region, therefore we do not dictate the pricing as it's soley based on demand for that particular weekend.

With regards to the cleanliness of the facilities, it does surprise me as the toilet blocks were brand new this season, but anyhow we will pass this onto the land owners who run and maintain the facilities over at Parley Court Camping and discuss this at length with them.

Warm regards

Welcome text made for a super easy arrival

No me gustó: Bring any extra blanket to sleep on as air beds are cold!
Don't forget matches as these aren't in the firepit kit 😊
