Why you should put glamping on your holiday list this year

Camping is an experience many are fond of, but some struggle with. While the beauty of the great outdoors is extremely captivating, hiking into the wilderness can be a little too rugged for those not used to pitching a tent. Even those who choose to camp in a designated area with suitable facilities find sleeping on the earth's floor a bit too close to nature. 

If the beauty of the outdoors appeals to you, but you enjoy the comforts of your home or hotel too much to consider it a holiday option, then glamping could be the perfect option for you. A literal combination of the term 'glamorous camping’ you can enjoy an outdoor adventure with added luxuries and comforts.

It’s Comfortable

Let’s face it, no one chooses to settle down in a tent for the night for it’s relaxing features. Camping is a wonderful down-to-earth experience but sleeping on the hard ground, zipping in and out, and getting your feet tangled in your sleeping bag can be a less-than-ideal experience. While some fully embrace roughing it, others find it draining or a complete no go. 

Glamping , however, gives you the freedom to stretch, and settle in a real structured bed. Here at Middlewood Farm , our Glamping Pods boast an attractive dome shape design which gives you a spacious interior, that you can easily stand upright inside. No more getting changed hunched over? Result!

Breathtaking views

Glamping brings nature to your doorstep, and brings you to places that hotels or resorts can’t. As soon as you step out of your room you can feel the natural breeze in your hair and the fresh air in your lungs, and it really doesn’t get much better than that.

You don’t need to think about additional costs

While camping itself can be generally low cost, the equipment needed for a few days can quickly add up, if you’ve not been camping before. When glamping there are no additional costs required as you can benefit from an inbuilt microwave, kettle and fridge. This means you don’t need to remember those scout skills, or worry about bringing a cookstove to guard from the rain.

The comforts of home

Forget packing several layers, and checking the weather forecast daily in the week prior to your stay. Luxury glamping pods offering ventilation, security, comfy mattresses, internal lighting, an electric heater and home appliances for cooking up some tasty treats. Even in winter, the hardiest of campers would be glad of this cosy warmer alternative.

A mental break

Along with holidays, comes the crowds. A glamping holiday gives you the opportunity to really relax and unwind, and these extra added comforts are sure to help along the way. Getting away from the hustle and bustle in a calm and tranquil place, in a beautiful location nestled deep in stunning surroundings, helps you take a well deserved break from it all.
