You guys all know how much I love glamping. I love being in the great outdoors whilst still having a few little luxuries that make it cosy and comfy. It’s great to stay in quirky and unique glamping pods, domes treehouses, yurts or safari tents but sometimes a good old fashioned tent has to do. …

If you’ve ever had the urge to run away to a cabin in the woods then you’re going to love Celtic Woodland Glamping in Powys. Hiding away in a remote cabin in the forest is something I dream about a little too often! Sometimes a full sized house feels like too much and I crave …
Llangollen, in north-east Wales, is everything you’d want from a quaint Welsh town. It’s so idyllically pretty it’s like Llangollen has stepped right out of the pages of a child’s bedtime story. With steam trains chugging billows of smoke across the rushing river and horse-drawn canal boats gently plodding alongside the water’s edge, Llangollen is …

Camping and glamping are two of my favourite summer activities. Of course, I love jetting off to exotic beaches (who doesn’t!?) but you can’t beat a weekend camping with all your friends.

“Relax in barefoot luxury on Dominica, the ‘Nature Island’ of the Caribbean” Jungle Bay is a place where grown-up dreams come true. It was a place that captured my heart and my imagination like no other place has for years and it’s a place that I’m 100% sure I’ll be going back to. I rarely …

Most glamping sites will provide you with all the basic equipment you will need so your car won’t be bursting …
It’s no secret that glamping is my favourite type of holiday with kids.

Today Anne shares her review from Yab Yum Resort in Goa, India. So secret is Yab Yum Resort, there are no roadside signs indicating its existence. Even the main gate has no sign, nor does the beach pathway indicate that you have arrived at your destination. Like the Illuminati, it seems this place wants …
If you’re looking for a family glamping holiday that ticks all the boxes then I can’t recommend Camp Katur in Yorkshire enough. I stayed at Camp Katur at the end of the summer after a series of glamping trips with Dacia and Camp Katur was my final and favourite glamping site! And that’s saying a …

If you’re subscribed to my newsletter you will have read the news that Sam and I recently bought a caravan. Gulp. Yea, we’ve become those people. I actually LOVE our caravan but if I’m honest I would have preferred something cooler. Something sleeker and with a bit more street cred. Something shinier, flashier and a …
Driving up to Brandy House Farm was like driving into a scene from an old fashioned story book. A single track lane ran through a field filled with lambs who leapt about in the long grass to signal my arrival. I came to an enormous, ramshackle farm house framed by colourful flowers, happy daisies and …
The sun was blazing as I drove along the North Wales coast with my windows down and the radio blaring. I perched my elbow on the open window whenever I could, partly to catch some rays but also to feel the sea air and the warm breeze whipping past. I never normally do this. The …

I love glamping. You get to enjoy the great outdoors and feel closer to nature but without the nasty side of camping. You know, the bit with cold, leaky tents and deflated airbeds. I love bell tents and teepees, pods and treehouses and now I have a new type of glamping to add to …
