These glamping retreats will make you want to sleep outside
Camping season has arrived - but we don't mean swatting flies from a tiny tent or trying (and failing) to get to sleep during the all-night parties at Glasto. We're talking about glamping in the UK, and there's no better way to do it than in fancy glamping pods in the countryside now that the weather's heating up.
The trend for luxury camping may have been around for years but we can't think of a more fitting time to do it, with the super-fancy glamping retreats available for an outdoorsy but glamorous getaway.
Giving you luxuries like hot tubs, comfy beds, TVs and even saunas, these glamping pods and yurts offer sleeps under canvas but not as you know it. Take a look at our five favourite UK glamping escapes that you can book with HomeAway for a romantic mini-break or a few days away with your mates.
