These luxury safari tents are ideal for anyone looking for a few days of rest and relaxation glamping in the great outdoors. With hot running water, a cosy wood burning stove and wooden furniture, they’re a perfect combination of comfort and adventure. We have six tents on site meaning group bookings are welcome. Lantern and Larks has established a glamping site within the 500 hectares of beautiful 18th Century Grade II listed Exton Park. With its sheltered five-acre walled garden which gradually slopes down to an ornamental lake at the southern end, where ospreys have even been known to catch their dinner! Exton Park Rutland really is the perfect glamping spot. Each of our glamping tents accommodates up to six and has three bedrooms that each sleeps two people. There is one king size room, one twin room and one bunk bed room per tent. If necessary you could also fit a travel cot in any of the bedrooms (these can be hired before your stay if required.) Exton Park, 20 minutes by car from Peterborough and less than 10 from the A1, is home to the Gainsborough family. The house and grounds are occasionally still used for weddings, and regularly as a location for film and photo shoots. The parkland has existed since the 12th Century, and the gardens witnessed performances by Handel in the 18th Century. The old potting shed now forms the on site honesty shop where essential items and local produce can be purchased, making your luxury glamping stay yet more authentic. Environmental considerations have been foremost in the planning and stewardship of the estate, creating and maintaining a diverse habitat and haven for all manner of wildlife and despite being landlocked, one of Rutland's most distinguishing features is the large body of water right at its centre. Rutland Water is one of the largest artificial lakes in Europe, making it a truly beautiful spot for some 'glamorous camping' or glamping. It is the Anglian Water's drinking water reservoir and an internationally famous nature reserve that provides a home for over 25,000 waterfowl. It lies less than three miles to the south of the Exton Estate and is ringed by 25 miles of cycle and footpaths. There is so much to do locally including water sports, fishing, golf and of course the many walks around Rutland Water reservoir.
