Glamping Features
The wood-fired hot tub stands as Bluebell's main glamping feature. You'll spend evenings feeding logs into the burner whilst soaking under open skies. The garden provides lawn and gravelled areas for outdoor living with space for morning coffee or evening drinks. Inside, the shepherd's hut design maximises limited space cleverly. The open-plan layout creates a cosy atmosphere perfect for glamping stays.
Pet Friendly
Bluebell does not accept pets during your stay. Dogs and other animals cannot accompany guests to this property. You'll need to arrange kennels, catteries or pet-sitters before your holiday. The no-pets policy maintains the shepherd's hut condition and respects other guests who may have allergies. Consider alternative Lincolnshire glamping sites if travelling with animals is essential for your break.

Bluebell Reviews

Had an absolutely amazing time in the bluebell. We stayed Saturday and Sunday. It was so clean and cosy, the hot tub was a lovely bonus. There are 4 scattered out and its nestled away nicely, which does make it feel more relaxing. It had everything we needed to make breakfast. Only thing I would say is I wouldve liked the hot tub to be refilled again for the second night and there wasnt any facilities to do this yourself. The second night it was a little murky. Im not sure how it works with refilling the hot tub but other than that, amazing time had by us both. Lovely little break away and would stay again. Thank you.
We stayed for 2 nights in Bluebell, a couple with a 7 month old baby our babys first little holiday. Our stay was absolutely amazing, we didnt want to leave! We will be recommending to everyone! The property and location were beautiful and peaceful, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable! The hot tub was an added bonus too. We will definitely be returning!!
