If you love the smell of the outdoors but the luxury of beds, why not give Glamping UK a Try!
We have been camping since Xene and Lochlan were little, starting off with a little two man tent (I wouldn’t recommend it for four people!) moving onto an eight berth, which was fine when we only had the four of us, but as each new child appeared, the tent shrunk before our eyes….
I have vivid memories of being pregnant with number five and packing up after one night as I had been bitten to pieces and less than an hours sleep, thank goodness we had camped quite close to home!
These days (I sound ancient!) you can have the fun of the outdoors but with more home comforts, it’s called Glamping, I have been checking this out and here are a couple of my favourites, what I love is that there are so many different types of accommodation when it comes to glamping

Dandelion Hideaway Leicestershire
For family holidays and romantic escapes, The Dandelion Hideaway’s beautiful, nostalgic canvas cottages melt into the glorious Leicestershire countryside. The vintage-chic Dandelion Hideaway truly puts the glamour into Glamping. Six charming secluded canvas cottages are filled with nostalgic touches and country house design. Aga-style range, beautiful bathrooms with lashings of hot water, luxurious beds with snuggly duvets, eiderdowns and teddies. Gather friends or family. There is space for six, with a double, a twin and the enchanting cabin bedroom.
How amazing do all of these sound, certainly not slumming it in any way, shape or form, the thing I love about Glamping is that you don’t have to worry about packing every item apart from the kitchen sink, because most things are already there, and the thought of a nice comfy bed instead of the hard ground is certainly appealing!
There are so many Tents For Glamping available too!
