Lantern & Larks Exton Glamping Site — Hotel in Great Britain

We have just returned from a 4 night trip to Exton Park glamping site. I've glamped before but this on a whole new level. We stayed in Kite tent in the orchard area. It was very peaceful. We were a family of 4, including a dog and two teenagers. They were thrilled to discover sockets in the honesty shop for charging up their phones! The campsite is enclosed so the dog was safe to roam around.||The tents are very well equipped, there is little else you need to bring. They provide re-chargeable lanterns and candles. Extra bright lanterns if you have them and a couple of torches are also useful to bring. The kitchen has everything you need, including a cool box with ice packs you swap in the honesty shop so food keeps fairly fresh. ||The local bakery is approx. 20 min walk through the country tracks and really good. Recommend the eccles cakes particularly! We also visited the local pub in Exton village, which was very nice. And Exton is so pretty. Rutland Water is approx. 5 min drive away with lots of watersports on offer.||We highly recommend this campsite and look forward to returning or trying one of the Lantern & Larks...

We’ve just returned from a weeks stay and I’m missing it already. A peaceful walled garden with enough space for our kids (4 and 7) to roam. Plenty of nature and bugs for them to spot. Then after bedtime we stayed up by the fire pit.||||The site was spacious and each tent could keep to themselves with no concerns over social distancing etc. Plenty of handsoap in the tents too.||||A good location for accessing Rutland Water and also Striking out a bit further if needed.||||We also walked daily to the nearby bakery.||||On-site the honesty shop was stocked with basic essentials (and the luxury of a magnum or two from the freezer).||||The tents have most things you could want (including a cafetière). The lack of fridge makes things trickier but we knew this going in so it wasn’t a surprise and the farm shop nearby kept us stocked. There are cool boxes and frozen hot water bottles to keep things chilled.||||It does get cold overnight but again we were warned of this before we set off and packed accordingly. There were also plenty of spare blankets.||||All in all we are already talking about when we will be heading back for...

Excellent facilities - tent was the best equipped and cosiest (rugs on the floor!) that we’ve stayed in. Although cool boxes were the smallest - two small ones rather than a massive one in other places which is easier to keep cool and clearly fits more food in! ||Honesty shop on site for last minute essentials although quite sparse - mainly uht milk, firefighters and marshmallows! Book swap too for those that might race through a holiday read. ||Setting was amazing - within a walled field so safe for kids to roam around, playing games and having adventures with kids from other tents. Take ball games, frisbee, cricket set etc! ||Location great - close to Rutland water, bakery, farm shops, Oakham town, melton Mowbray etc. Aqua park was great fun for those able bodied and brave enough to be in the cold water for an hour(!). We couldn’t make full use of activities in local area as we had 3 kids out of 4 in our 2-family party who were injured or in casts! We will be back to do it properly...
