What’s the fuss about glamping?
Searching for a way to get family and friends together in 2024?
Maybe you’re planning a family holiday or anniversary celebration, or simply want to spend time with all those friends you haven’t seen in a while? Whatever your reason for bringing everyone together, glamping (a combination of ‘glamourous’ and ‘camping’) is the perfect way to share an unforgettable break with the people you love.
Glamping is an increasingly popular type of holiday which combines the freedom and adventure of the great outdoors with the comfort and luxury of a cottage holiday. It’s a way to camp while still enjoying comfortable facilities and accommodation, creating an extra special break that’s perfect for people of all ages, abilities and interests. Imagine fairy lights under canvas, outdoor hot tubs, roasting marshmallows over a fire, and waking to the dawn chorus… that’s glamping.
The Glamping Hideaways collection, home to popular glamping sites Lantern & Larks, contains everything from cosy log cabins deep in woodland, to luxury safari tents and yurts. In fact, there’s a wide assortment of glamping retreats, including treehouses, airstreams, camper vans, shepherd’s huts and even a grain silo! All are equipped with all the facilities you could need during your break, such as cooking equipment, real beds and running water (as well as a few special extras). Meanwhile, they still manage to maintain that feeling of being part of the great outdoors, nestled amongst some of the most beautiful countryside in the UK and surrounded by nature, open spaces and fresh air.
The lovely thing about glamping is that there will be something that appeals to everyone. If the adults just want to relax with a good book by the fire, and the teenagers want to play a game of fetch with the dog outside, then that’s fine. Perhaps the grown-ups would prefer to chat in the hot tub while the kids ride their bikes? It’s your choice!
The joy of a glamping holiday is that there really is something for everyone, with endless opportunities for quality time together… and that includes furry friends! Those with dogs will know they’re more than just pets – for many of us, our canine companions are important members of the family. With a glamping break, you can skip booking them into the kennel and bring them along with you. Dogs will love sniffing out the new smells, walking the trails, and snoozing in the fresh air, and Glamping Hideaways’ many dog-friendly glamping retreats mean that they’ll be as comfortable and welcome as the rest of the family.
However, even during a group holiday, it’s occasionally nice to have some space to yourself. With Glamping Hideaway’s grouped sites, you can each have your own space to relax and unwind in. This includes the lovely Lantern & Larks sites in Rutland, Suffolk, Somerset and Lancashire, which comprise of a small number of spacious tents in spectacular sites. Individual groups and families may like to enjoy a quiet breakfast or morning in their own tent, then wander over to meet everyone else around the fire and plan the rest of the day’s adventures, be it cooking over the firepit or playing a game of football between the tents.
Furthermore, groups wishing to get out and about will find all manner of fun activities in the surrounding area. You’ll find glamping sites in some of the UK’s most stunning locations, meaning there’s always something to do.
Last but not least, glamping is a great choice for a celebration, whether it’s a birthday or anniversary, or even a wedding or reunion. If you’re looking for a relaxed and unique way to mark an occasion, glamping might just tick all the boxes.
And for us? Here at Glamping Hideaways we love glamping because it’s a completely unique holiday that our guests will remember forever. We love seeing people leave our sites just a little bit more relaxed and happier than they arrived. It’s a chance to get back to nature and spend quality time with the people you love… what could be better than that?
