Nestled within the award-winning Walcot Hall Estate in Lincolnshire, Apple Blossom offers a glamping experience that combines countryside tranquility with modern comforts.
Situated in a secluded orchard on the edge of the hamlet of Alkborough, the bell tent accommodation is designed for couples or small families seeking a peaceful escape with the convenience of home-style amenities.
Apple Blossom accommodates two adults in a king-size bed and up to two small children on a pull-out sofa bed. The tent features electric lighting, heating, and a compact kitchen area with a fridge, microwave, and kettle.
Guests have access to a private en-suite bathroom with a shower, chemical WC, and hot and cold running water.
Towels, bathrobes, and basic toiletries are provided. Outside, the space includes garden furniture, a barbecue, and a private hot tub overlooking the surrounding fields. The site also welcomes two well-behaved dogs for an additional fee.
Located within Walcot Hall’s 27 acres of parkland and landscaped gardens, the site benefits from a strong tourism offering tied to the area’s natural and cultural attractions.
The village of Alkborough, known for its Saxon origins and Norman-era church, offers visitors access to the Alkborough Flats, a notable anti-flood project that has become a hub for birdwatching and walking.
Other nearby destinations include Normanby Hall Country Park, which features golf, a farming museum, and a Go Ape course, and the RSPB Blacktoft Sands nature reserve across the Humber Estuary. Seasonal highlights such as the Winterton Agricultural Show and pick-your-own produce at Herring Produce add to the local appeal.
For glamping operators and outdoor hospitality providers, Apple Blossom serves as an example of how small-scale accommodations can deliver a high-end experience by integrating natural settings with quality amenities.
Features like private hot tubs, electric heating, and thoughtful design touches—such as clear roof panels for stargazing—reflect growing guest expectations for comfort and personalization within nature-based stays.
Its proximity to Michelin-starred dining at Winteringham Fields and rural attractions positions it as part of a wider regional tourism network that blends luxury and locality, a model many operators are increasingly adopting to extend seasonality and diversify visitor appeal.
