A glamping site in Hampshire could be closed down after neighbours complained about loud sex noises from guests staying in tents.
Some residents say they are kept up at night due to karaoke sessions with repeated renditions of 1980s hit Islands in the Stream "over and over".
The Secret Garden Glamping site in Lymington is located behind a three-bedroom house in a residential area of the town.
The site features two 16ft-tents and according to its website, has been running for four years.

Planning permission was sought by owner Liz Feay to use part of her garden as a glamping site for five months a year.
But after the application was submitted, residents began to object.
Mel Sims said: "I live directly behind this garden and see the tent top from my windows. I bought this house last year thinking it was in a quiet cul de sac.
"That is until people come to stay there. The noise from this garden/field in the summer is too much, often past midnight.
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
"There is music, loud chat, sex in the thin tents we all awkwardly hear and swearing. I do not want to back onto a clamping or campsite."
Neighbour Daniel Wells added: "As this is specifically targeted at holidaying guests socialising continues through the working week, disturbing sleep for myself, my wife and our son whose bedroom is at the back of the house.
"Most upsetting perhaps is that on several occasions we have had to close the window to block out the sound of a couple engaging in acts of a sexual nature, which the fabric walls of a tent clearly did not and do not contain.
"There was a karaoke machine there for a time and on one notable sunny afternoon while trying to enjoy our garden with friends, we had to instead listen to a couple blaring out Islands in the Stream over and over, deluded in thinking they were Dolly and Kenny."

Stephanie Glasspool added that she could hear "people having sexual intercourse", saying this was "far beyond what one would expect in a residential family neighbourhood".
A two-night stay in one of the luxury tents is priced at £206.
Members of the Lymington and Pennington town council planning committee have now voted against Feay’s application and recommended that the council rejects it.
A decision is expected before March 6.
