Lantern & Larks Exton Glamping Site

Our annual Lantern and Larks trip to Exton Park was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, the weekend was packed with laughter, memorable moments, and plenty of fun with the whole family. A special highlight was the Stamford Fair, which added an extra layer of excitement and joy to our experience. To top it all off, we were lucky enough to enjoy perfect weather, making everything even more enjoyable. This trip truly created memories we'll cherish for years to come. Thank you Glamping Hideaways for an unforgettable weekend!

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 next time 😀

We had a truly relaxing 5 day break at Lantern and Larks. It was so peaceful and tranquil just spending time with nature, particularly after the sun went down. Our 2 young daughters loved the experience of cooking on the fire pit and exploring the local wildlife. The tent was spacious and, although hot during the day, it cooled down nicely at night (we visited during a heatwave!). What a fabulous glamping experience, from start to finish. We will most definitely be back and would highly recommend Lantern and Larks to others.

Really impressed with this glamping site! Warm welcome from site manager, spacious & well-equipped Safari tents, beautiful setting, & lovely area. Lots of space between tents, so we weren’t disturbed by neighbours & there were plenty of opportunities for kids’ outdoor games. Loved the idea of an Honesty Shop - where you can buy kindling, eggs, toilet roll, jam, etc. Posh bakery nearby is also worth a visit. We had a great weekend away!

We stayed for 4 nights as a group of 26 - ages ranging from 5 to adult.|Our stay couldn't of been better. The tents were spaced enough apart to have privacy if needed but not too far that it was a pain to walk between them. The kids had free roam around the site as it was contained. We have stayed at at Lantern & Larks previously, and this was far nicer. The one before was in Suffolk. Would highly recommend staying. Just remember to bring wasp repellent - they were rife this year.

We had an amazing stay at Lantern and Larks Exton park. The Huts were lovely and clean and the beds were super comfy. All the bbq/cooking utensils supplied and plenty of wood for making fires. Lovely hot showers too. The location was beautiful facing a lake. There was an on site honesty shop where you could take what you wanted and write it down to pay later. They supplied things like water, ice, ice creams and crisps. They had lots of games and toys for the kids to borrow and books for the adults. Lanterns were also supplied and plenty of blankets for those late cold nights. We took out dog with us too who loved it. It was all enclosed so was safe for both the kids and dogs. We will be returning next year.

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 other sites.

We stayed for the week in September and the location was outstanding. The 'tents' are fantastically appointed and give you everything you need. Getting used to just candle light was a challenge to begin with! The stove produced loads of heat and made for snug and cosy evenings. Sounds of wildlife brought the countryside inside
