Short breaks

What should I do on a glamping weekend break? Being in fairly rural places, hiking and wild swimming are probably the two most popular activities for anyone glamping. But we’d like to put in a recommendation for giving yourself permission to do nothing at all. Relax. Really relax. Switch off your phone, fall asleep under a book, eat when you’re hungry, sleep when it’s dark, forget what time it is and let nature guide you.

What do I need to take for a glamping weekend? Very little, that’s the whole point! Glamping is about having nothing to get in the way of unwinding into your downtime. Our places are all different, so it’s always worth checking the “essentials” section of our site for details, but generally you can turn up with a couple of changes of clothes and you’ll be fine.

What about food? We’d always advise checking the “food and drink” section of our site as you might have a welcome hamper waiting for you depending on the place. Some owners even offer home-cooked meals on arrival too. If not, look for a farm shop to stock up at on the way, so you can try the regional flavours and help support even more local business.

How do I find the right place for me? First, decide how wild you want to go. Are you an open fire, ash-in-the-hair Bear Grylls fan or would you rather do your nature watching over the twin rims of a glass and a bath tub? Then have a good read of our site and check what each place has got. If you can’t decide, then call or email and our Guest Experience Team will help you track down the perfect glamping weekend break.
