I remember this breakfast well. Our Airbnb host brought it to us in a picnic basket in the pouring rain across the field to the little shepherd’s hut we were staying in. 🥐🥚🍞🫖☕️🧺 The pastries and bread were still warm from the oven, the eggs freshly boiled, with lovely pots of yoghurt topped with granola and fruit and some fresh orange juice. We brewed some water for our tea over the wood burning stove which I found very exciting. A great back to basics trip but with splashes of luxury. I’m much more into glamping than camping! 🏕 You can find out about this Shepherd’s hut in Wiltshire (which is perfect as a base for visiting Stonehenge, Longleat Safari Park,🦁 Bath & Lacock Abbey/village) by checking out our blog post on our favourite Airbnb’s in England➡️ https://ift.tt/3sGHWgn https://instagr.am/p/CNFwey7JWM_/

Glamping: not exactly roughing it

The Word of the Day is “glamping.” It’s a new word for an old concept. I just stumbled across it the other day. I’m sure many of you were already familiar with the word. I was not.

“Glamping” is simply a compound of “glamorous” and “camping.” If you hike into the woods and pitch a pup tent, that’s camping. If you drive to the woods in your Range Rover and enter a portable palace, that’s glamping.

Mark Twain wrote a book called “Roughing It” about his travels in the American West. Glamping is absolutely the opposite of roughing it. If you’re glamping, you can expect to have, at the very least, electric lighting, a kitchenette, some furniture, and Wi-Fi for your cellphone and internet connection. There’s likely to be some kind of heating and air-conditioning system as needed (worst case: a fire pit and electric fans). You will certainly sleep in a real bed, probably king size, rather than a cot or sleeping bag. You may have running water and full bathroom facilities. Your tent may sit atop a permanent raised platform, rather than the cold, cold ground. Restaurants and shopping are probably nearby. Basically, all the comforts of home – or a five-star hotel suite – away from home.

The first known published use of “glamping” was in a 2005 travel article in The Guardian newspaper in Manchester, England, although the concept of camping in luxury goes back at least 500 years. At a famous summit meeting in 1520 between King Henry VIII and the French King Francis I, about 28-hundred luxury tents were erected and, says Wikipedia, “fountains ran with red wine.” Like Oscar Wilde said, “Nothing succeeds like excess.”

Personally, I think glamping defeats the whole purpose of camping. But then, I’m a charter member of the “Only Hoboes Eat and Sleep Outdoors” club, so what do I know?

3 Incredible Places To Go Glamping Near London

London is an awesome city, with plenty on offer to keep you coming back for years and years. But every now and then you might find yourself needing an escape from the hustle and bustle of city life; a way to get back to nature and find a bit of peace. Well luckily for you, London is very centrally located and there are plenty of glorious spots within easy reach of the city that will help you find a bit of serenity. If you find yourself needing some respite during your stay at the Montcalm Hotel Marble Arch, or any of the other 5 Star Hotels Near Cumberland Road, then check out these incredible glamping locations.

Glamping is not really a new thing, but its meaning has expanded to include all kinds of different stays. Originally you would immediately be thinking of beautifully decorated yurts and bell tents that offer all the comforts of a home, with the added benefit of nature being all around you. Now though, the term includes things like tiny houses, shepherd’s huts, and even tree houses! So let’s take a look at the best places near London that you absolutely can’t miss. 

Free Range Glamping | Kent

Kent is known as the Garden County, and nowhere exemplifies this more than Free Range Glamping. Found in the 500 acre farm that encompasses the Tudor mansion of Bore Place are a collection of incredible glamping pods and shepherd’s huts. In a literal wildflower meadow on top of a hill, you’d struggle to find a more romanticised and perfect place to relax in the country. There are fire pits with grills, and wood burners to heat the spaces; but you’ll also find electric hobs, proper showers and even a yoga studio. Again, is there anywhere better? 

Gravel Pit Farm | Kent  

Gravel Pit is the perfect palace to go to if you are looking for a family or group getaway. With two huge, semi-permanent safari tents erected in a meadow, each sleeping six people it makes for the perfect outdoor trip. Plenty of room for the kids to play in the surrounding meadow and woods, and a fire pit for the adults to relax around. Oh, and did I mention the winery within a cool 30 minute walk? Like I said, the whole family will love it.  

Bensfield Treehouse | East Sussex

This one is pretty special, and no it’s not strictly glamping, but you will see the appeal. The structure is built around a vast Oak tree and offers more luxuries than most fancy Hotels Near Cumberland Road in the city centre. The Oak tree itself is the centre piece for the main room, and you’ll also find a kitchenette and shower room. There is a copper bathtub on the deck, where you can relax in the dappled sunlight under the Oak’s canopy. And of course, the most important thing of all, the massive rope bridge that leads you up to the front door above the pond. Yeah, I told you. Amazing.

So there you have some of the best places to escape the city, all within easy reach of London’s city centre. If you are visiting the country, why restrict yourself to staying in London? Get out there and experience England’s gorgeous countryside.

The next biggest of Channel Islands is Guernsey, and with a population of 63,000 people, you’re sure to find a slower pace of life. While Jersey is often compared to the UK, Guernsey is said to be more like France, with a traditional, country feel to it. Guernsey has some great local food – most well-known these days might be potato peel pie, make famous by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows’ novel. Another top dish is bean jar, and Guernsey biscuits. These local specialities are not served in many restaurants – the best place to find them is at food stalls at one of Guernsey’s festivals, including Liberation Day (May), the Viaer Marchi (July), the North, South and West Shows (August), and the Seafront Sunday events. Like Jersey, Guernsey also has fantastic seafood on offer as well as locally produced dairy products. This is not the place to visit if you want to go on a diet!

Visiting the beach is regularly voted as one of the top pastimes in Guernsey – it’s not uncommon for people to finish work at 5 o’clock and head straight on down to beach on most weekdays! One of the nicest things about Guernsey beaches is that you’ve got real variety – sandy, stony, sheltered bays, rock pools, surrounded by cliffs… whatever you’re looking for, Guernsey has it. Top beaches include Fermain Bay, L’ancresse, Portlet Harbour, Saint’s Bay, Vazon Bay and Petit Bot. There are awesome cliff walks to be enjoyed too, with the most spectacular views to be found down at Icart Point.

If you’re looking for something a bit more cultural, you won’t be disappointed. Castle Cornet is a top attraction, and with so many things to see and do there, you can easily spend the whole day at the castle. If you finish early, pop along to the recently restored Aquarium and the La Vallette bathing pools. Hauteville House, once the home of French novelist Victor Hugo, is also a great choice. The tour guides can be a bit snooty, but don’t be put off – the house is fantastic and well worth a visit, with guided tours in English or French. For a slice of history, the German Occupation Museum and the German Underground Hospital Museum are both well worth a visit, as is the Little Chapel – the smallest chapel in the world, made from broken pottery. Finally, you can’t go home without the number one souvenir – a hand knitted ‘Guernsey’, as worn by local fishermen. It’ll set you back a fair few quid, but worth every penny.

  Alderney

Of the three main Channel Islands, Alderney is the smallest with a population of 2,000 people. If you’re hoping for some peace and quiet, you’ll find it in Alderney – it is often overlooked by foreign tourists as there are not so many attractions here, and it’s not unusual for locals from other Channel Islands to have missed out on visiting. However, this gem of and island isn’t to be forgotten about, especially if you really want that ‘escape from it all’ experience.

Another top location for beach lovers, your best choices include Corblets Beach, Saye Bay and Longis Beach. Find gorgeous, unspoiled views with a walk along the commons. Bird watchers can enjoy views of cormorants, shags, gannets, puffins and storm petrels. For something active, try sailing, fishing or diving in the local waters. If you fancy a stroll, sign up to one of the guided walks on offer, such as the evening-time Bats and Hedgehogs Walk.

This is another of the Channel Islands with a rich history, and visitors can enjoy a trip to the Alderney Museum, the railroad and the Cambridge Battery. Alderney really is a place to relax and unwind rather than to be rushing around from one attraction to another. Take a good book, find a cosy corner on one of the stunning beaches, and let your worries drift away.

  Aside from the three main islands of Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney, there are also a number of smaller islands around the Bailiwick, some of which can be visited by the public. To reach these islands is slightly tricky as you can’t travel there directly – you have to go via one of the bigger islands. However, these tiny communities are well worth visiting – you’ll find a little slice of heaven on the smaller islands, particularly in summer.

  Sark

With a population of 600 people, you’d expect a fairly bustling community in Sark with numerous hotels and shops. However, in recent years a number of businesses have closed down, leaving the island with a slightly run-down feel to it. But don’t be put off – visiting Sark is like stepping back in time, and it’s a trip you’ll never forget.

Completely car-free, this Channel Island operates a horse and carriage service for those wanting to travel in style, although the most usual way to get around is on foot or by bike. The La Seigneurie Gardens are a top attraction, and will tell you more about the island’s interesting feudal history. The Sark Museum is also highly recommended, and will tell you more about the island’s occupation during WW2. Don’t miss out on a visit to Caragh Chocolates – pop in for a drink and a nibble after you’ve been down to see the La Coupee – the hair-raising path across to ‘Little Sark’. Also, be sure to check out local events such as the Sark Folk Festival.

Also worth seeking out is the Venus Pool, the Window in the Rock, Sarkhenge, and a visit to the two churches on the island. There are loads of wonderful cafes and restaurants – for something more upmarket, try Stocks or La Sablonnerie. AJ’s Cafe is a down-to-earth place with a brilliant cream tea, and another favourite is La Petite Poule.

  Herm

With only 60 permanent residents, Herm really can seem like a ghost town, particularly if you visit off season. Tourists tend to visit in summer, although you should keep your eyes peeled in the winter months because they sometimes offer super-cheap tickets across to the island to encourage a bit of Christmas shopping. Herm is heaven on earth for beach lovers, with going to the beach being pretty much the only thing to do there! Shell beach is the most popular, but there is also Belvoir Bay (gorgeous!) and the smaller Bear’s Beach (good when it’s windy as it is quite sheltered) and Oyster Beach. If you love snorkelling, this is the place for you as the water is crystal clear. For weak swimmers, be warned – some places in Herm have shelves where you’ll be padding up to your knees one minute, and then a few steps away be up to your neck. It can get deep quickly so take care.

Aside from swimming and sunning yourself, you can also sign up for boat trips and kayaking adventures to see the puffins, which are the most southerly colony in Europe. Other activities on the island include St Tugual’s chapel (dating back to the 11th century), some neolithic tombs, and the local prison which has room for just one inmate.

Shops and restaurants are limited on the island – most people tend to bring over a picnic for lunch and then stop out for dinner at one of the restaurants. Beach-side cafes are popular choices too. The island is car-free, and at 3 miles from Guernsey the travel trident boat takes just 20 minutes. The boat runs up to 8 times in each direction during peak season.
