All your Glamping Questions answered here?
Can we bring our dog?
Yes, well behaved dogs are welcome. There are many lovely walks around Meon Springs and most dogs enjoy their break as much as their owners. For more information please see our webpage specifically for dogs Please note, it is your responsibility to keep pets under control and to clean up behind them. We do require that you have public liability insurance that covers your pets actions. You may find that this is already covered as part of your household contents insurance. Can we stay for one night? We don't offer our accommodation on a per night basis but sometimes you might find the short break price reasonable enough to take your one night. When can we arrive? We can guarantee access to your yurt or hut from 3pm on the day of arrival. You are welcome to arrive earlier, park up and enjoy the area. Perhaps wander down to our Fishery lodge for a snack or drink on the verandah. When do we have to leave? You need to vacate the Yurt Village or Shepherd's Hut by 10am on the day of your departure. Do I need to pay a deposit? We ask for a 25% deposit on booking, with the balance due 8 weeks before. What happens if I need to cancel? Telephone us immediately if you have to cancel. If cancellation is more than eight weeks prior to your stay, you will forfeit the deposit only. Cancellations within eight weeks will incur the full cost of the holiday. If cancellations are made as part of a group booking then all the accommodation still needs to be paid for in full. To mitigate any loss in the event of cancellation, we advise you take out suitable travel insurance. What about if I am part of a group? If cancellations are made as part of a group booking then all the accommodation still needs to be paid for in full. To mitigate any eventuality we advise you to take out suitable travel insurance. We will always do our best to re sell your holiday for you, under which circumstances there will be no charge incurred. |

They can be arranged as a double and two singles, or four singles. Do you allow children? Yes, children of all ages, from babies to grown ups are welcome at our Yurt Village. Can we book more than one yurt? Yes. Often people book all of the yurts, giving them exclusive use of the village. To do this, click "The Whole Village" option. That way you can make just one booking to secure all six yurts. To avoid groups dominating others, we allow a maximum of three or all six yurts booked by one group. What do we need to bring? You need to bring towels, personal belongings and whatever you want to eat and drink. Bedding, cutlery and crockery are all included. How much does it cost and how long can we stay?

shepherd's hut questions
How many does each hut sleep?
Each hut sleeps two people. Hawthorn can be made up as twin beds or a double. It also has two huts, so can sleep up to four, Olive, Mayfly, Alder, Damsel and Sedge are only doubles. Do you allow children? Because of its proximity to the lakes, we do not allow young children in the huts. Minimum age is 10 years old. Children are welcome at our Yurt Village. Can we book more than one hut? Yes. Each hut is self contained, therefore, unlike our yurts, groups cannot over crowd the site in quite the same way. Which Hut should I book? We have three types of hut. Our Riverside Huts Mayfly, Damsel, Alder and Sedge - are self-contained, with kitchen and bathroom integrated in a single hut. To gain space, the bed folds up during the day allowing for seats and a table. Our Downland Hut - Olive is self contained. With the bed not being folding it is simpler. Our Original Fishing Huts - Hawthorn - can be made up as twins or as a double. The kitchen and bathroom are in a separate hut outside, leaving more space in the accommodation hut and with the bed permanently down. It alos has another hut that can be hired with it to make a group size of up to four. What do we need to bring? You need to bring nothing other than towels, toothbrush and whatever you want to eat and drink. Bedding, cutlery and crockery are all included. How much does it cost and how long can we stay?
