5m Hybrid Tent

Fantastic quality fantastic support staff I bought the 5m hybrid it’s everything I hoped it would be highly recommend lotus belle I looked at lots of bell tent companies these guys are the rolls Royce of bell tents

These are definitely THE coolest glamping tent ever. I first saw one at ‘Latitude’ festival, I think it was a massage den somewhere in the ‘wellness zone’. I just had to have one. They’re heavy (70kg?) and come in two bags. The canvas is so much heavier duty than other tents, the floor monstrously heavier, so they last. The clever design with high walls makes ALL of the space usable.

We don’t have a glamping site so what do we do with it? Well, we have a very large garden, we put rugs, leather furniture, coffee tables, etc. inside and it’s our gin palace. It’s a wow.

We alway use a roof cover, the covers last a couple of 6 month seasons if you are careful & or lucky. We’ve been through plain red, green mandala, plain cream. The thing is they make the ‘real’ tent last (view the cover as a UV filter, and change it as you would an oil or fuel filter, a ‘consumable’).

You know, though heavy, if you go camping for a week or two you can take one of these, they’re easy to put up and take down. We don’t go for more than a few days, so we take a Lotus Airbud.

I figure the main use if these is ‘up market’ glamping sites (there’s a few near us and honestly, the one with Lotus Belle’s is a draw, it’s a ‘cut no corners’ site). I tell people ‘it’s Glamorous Camping’ rather than ‘Glorified Camping’, now ‘Glamping’ is popular there’s too many people cutting corners, snd they didappoint.

But… if like us you just want a ‘gin palace’ or similar, rather than a glamping business. you won’t find a better tent.

I’ll add a photo of “mother & baby”, our two tents, so you can compare, rather than a glamorous interior, the Lotus Belle site does those better.
