Hollington Park Glamping — Hotel in Basingstoke and Deane

Hollington Park Glamping is the most perfect place to stay. As a group of five families on our twelfth year of having a weekend camping together, we are all in agreement this is THE best place we have been to, and have already started discussions about returning.|The bell tents and pods, nestled independently, subtly and spaciously within beautiful woodland, are stunning. Not only was each type of dwelling beautifully decorated and very cosy, but fully equipped with absolutely everything one could need. There was such attention to detail, that immediately we felt looked after, having the sense that Claire fully understood our needs as campers and want to make our stay very special. The spare cushions and blankets, the sponge, drying towel and extra bin bags in the washing up tub, the lights and usable lanterns dotted around the whole site to make sure you can find your way, and the extremely important a communal fridge for the Bell tents. The beds were so comfortable - we all slept like logs.|We really valued the amazing communal area. Not only a large, sturdy and permanent firepit for the obligatory campfire, but the beautifully crafted fully covered area with sofas to hang out in, allowing a variety of spaces within close proximity, so we could chat with friends whilst giving some space to our teenage children.|What seemed unique about this glamp site were the private toilets and bathrooms. Each dwelling had it's own spotlessly clean, and fully equipped bathroom with a hot shower - such a wonderful luxury.|Importantly, Claire was friendly, warm and approachable. Nothing was too much trouble for her, and yet she and her family were also very discreet and left us to have our holiday.|Hollington Park Glamping is a rare and treasured find! Seemingly a labour of love that has been so brilliantly thought through and executed. It is perfect for those that want the camping experience but without the hassle of transporting and putting up a tent. I highly recommend it - what a marvellous weekend. We will be...

We stayed in the Moroccan tent for two night in late May/early June. Dad, 12yo, 9yo. We absolutely loved it and would love to come back.||Claire, the host was awesome and really made us feel welcome, and super helpful with local knowledge.||The tent was amazing. As Claire opened the tent doors my kids both gasped and gave a "oh wow!".||It was really nice to have your own shower and toilet which was spotless, well designed and couldn't fault it in any way (although as a 6 footer I did have to duck for the shower!!). One thing I really appreciated were the huge fluffy towels. Usually in places like this they expect you to dry your body with something little more than a hand towel. But here they spoil you with the towels and bedding too.||You can do your own bonfire but your tent, which feels very cosy and private, or there is a communal area you could use. We brought our own wood which I'd recommend. There is plenty of kindling lying around, but a few large pieces could be a good idea.||Kids loved Tony the Great Dane and Flash the sausage dog. They are both super friendly. We also had visits from the hens and peacocks which was really fun.||There are plenty of areas for the kids to go explore. They loved finding the rope/tire swing in the woods.||I honestly can't fault this place, it was amazing.||One tip: there are lots of fairly lights in the tents which give an amazing effect in the evening. But some of the batteries might be low or out. So bring a pack of AAs. ||There are also lots of lanterns outside for tea lights, and I'd recommend bringing a pack - especially if like us you like a game of cards in...

We’ve just visited the glamping site staying in the Bluebell pod with our 2 grownup children and 2 small dogs. I must say this pods are not meant for this many persons. We felt extremely cramped. They are definitely perfect for 2 people but not for 4 plus 2 small dogs. I don’t want to imagine if I would have had 2 giant dogs as the owners have how would have fit in it. If you put those 2 mattresses on the flor they literally cover the whole floor with no space for you to squeeze and go to the toilet in the middle of the night. Plus the mattresses are so this than you might think you sleep straight on the floor. The pod is not quite god friendly as there is a jute rug on the floor where the dogs were keep picking at. The washing up sink is not quite fit for purpose as it is just a normal small ceramic sink where you can’t get a pan or a large plate to rinse. They should have put a proper stainless still sink with a space for dishes on one side (just my recommendation). Beware if you make to much rubbish you have to take it home with you. Also… no working lights outdoor. All the fairy lights around the site are out of battery so you definitely need your own lights to wonder around at night. Apart from this the site is very nice. You feel as you’re in the middle...
