If you’re looking to get away from it all, there are few places better than the Shropshire countryside. In fact, apart from the owls hooting in the trees and pheasants calling from the bushes, our only neighbours at Amber’s Bell Tent Camping were flocks of sheep and the inhabitants of the five other bell tents at Hopton Court.

All socially distanced across the site, it felt like the perfect compromise of peaceful escape without having to pitch up in a deserted field and forgo all mod cons. Glamping is much more fun when there’s a proper bed to relax in after a hard day’s exploring.

Picked as one of the Cool Camping collection, there are five separate Amber’s Bell Tent Camping sites including three in Norfolk, one in Worcestershire on a pick-your-own farm, and our own rural idyll just outside Ludlow in Shropshire.

All covered by the Cool Camping coronavirus booking guarantee, Hopton Court won us over for its facilities and location. As a bonus, the Hopton Court Estate has its own impressive pedigree, as it was reputedly dreamed up by John Nash, architect of Buckingham Palace.
