If you fancy getting closer to nature, but are not quite into camping, give our Glamping properties a try!
The charm of a wooden shepherd’s hut, or the attraction of ‘weather-proof’ pods is something our guests love. Combine this with the convenience of essential facilities, like a loo, shower, small kitchen and place to sit and relax. Oh and a proper bed! They all have the added luxury of outdoor seating and some boast a hot tub. Some also accept a small dog.
