Travelnest brings to you our top 10 recommendations for glamping sites in the UK. If you're looking for somewhere you can relax, unwind and be off-the-grid, we've got you covered from locations to the perfect vacation rental property.
1. Westcote Glamping, Hawick, Scottish Borders
Westcote Glamping is a collection of five unique properties located in a gorgeous meadow on a working sheep farm near Hawick in the Scottish Borders. Choose from authentic and beautifully styled pods, huts and gypsy caravans, all with lovely views of the Minto Hills.
Our pick is this gorgeous Beehive Pod. Sleeping four, it has a double sofa bed and single bunk beds outdoor BBQ, decked area with outdoor seating, kitchenette with hob, own and fridge. Guests also have access to the on-site eco-toilets, showers, outdoor kitchen facilities, and wood-burning hot tubs.
2. Free Folk Glamping, Abergele, North Wales
Free Folk Glamping is actually three large glamping bell tents plus a wooden cabin – together they offer a simply magical glamping experience. Located in the village of Dawn outside Abergele, the location is ideal for exploring the 100+ beaches that dot the North Wales coastline, with the stunning Colwyn Bay on the doorstep a mere 10 minutes away!
Free Folk Glamping is ideal for larger groups as it sleeps up to twelve. The kitchen and living space is in the converted barn and offers plenty of space for big groups. With log burners, beautiful gardens, WiFi, sound system plus spectacular views this unique site has everything you need to relax and enjoy the countryside.
3. Kudhva, Cornwall
Kudhva is a 43 acre off-grid accommodation experience which boasts 180 degree views of the North Cornish coastline. Kudhva is an abandoned slate quarry, turned sustainable holiday destination, but it's wild and rough terrain remain. Waterproofs, head torches, sturdy footwear and backpacks are recommended.
We recommend staying in one of several treehouse cabins in Kudhva in Tintagel. These architectural hideouts have been designed to give guests an elevated experience immersed in nature. Get fully in touch with the great outdoors as you sleep under the stars and enjoy your evening cuppa by candlelight.
4. Four Acre Glamping, Stirling, Scotland
The luxury glamping pods at Four Acre each sleep up to five people. They’re all uniquely decorated with beautiful decor, and are complete with a private, five person hot tub overlooking the vally and supplied with hot and cold running water from farms borehole spring.
Guests will have access to the on-site heated indoor swimming pool free of charge, and the surrounding area includes Arnprior Farm, with Scotland’s original Pumpkin Patch! Enjoy lambing experiences, swimming pool parties and more.
5. Cowbeech, Hailsham, East Sussex
Cowbeech is a delightfully rural spot in the heart of nature where you can look over the local lake and maybe spot some deer in the right season! Stay an easy walk away from the village pub and restaurant where you can enjoy a pint with the locals.
We recommend staying in this cosy cottage in Cowbeech, surrounded by various greens. This home away from home holds its traditional character while including a host of modern comforts. The living areas are ideal for group getaways, as you can book the adjoining matching cottage.
6. Newbridge on Wye, Wales
Seclude yourself in nature in Newbridge on Wye, lying on the River Wye and surrounded by market towns including Rhayadar. This stunning location has neverending countryside and hillside views which will make guests feel breathless.
Stay in this beautiful riverside lodge in Newbridge on Wye, where up to four people can relax and enjoy the open air and true comfort of this holiday home. Have a nice big barbecue with the two units, or grill your meat over the open fire pit.
7. Rostrevor Valley, Newry, Ireland
Rostrevor is known to be one of the prettiest towns in Ireland as it’s located on the shores of Carlingford Lough with a stunning mountain backdrop. Step outside of the holiday park to hike the Mourne Mountains, take a scenic drive around the Cooley Peninsula or take the dog for a stroll through Rostrevor Forest.
Relax in this homely touring caravan at Rostrevor Valley. Keep yourselves to yourselves with your fully functional kitchen, or meet new friends at the larger on-site barbecues.
8. Sheerness, Isle of Sheppey
The Isle of Sheppey is the perfect place to relax and unwind, right off the northern coast of Kent. Visit the Elmley National Nature Reserve, pick yourself up some traditional English sweets and sit down for a cuppa at Bosuns Tea Room. If you’re less about local attractions, take the time to enjoy the beach and the local hiking routes.
Take your significant other on a romantic escape to the luxury hobbit house where you can feel like you’ve walked straight into Lord of the Rings, but with a few modern luxuries - including a wood fired hot tub! Take your pet along with you and leave your worries behind you.
9. The Lake District, Cockermouth
If you are looking for uninterrupted views of the Lake District, with the stunning Scale Force waterfalls nearby, this is the staycation for you. Cockermouth boasts access to the stunning Whinlatter Forest and Bassenthwaite Lake. There are local quirks, such as the Pencil Museum which can be the ideal rainy day trip.
For the full rural experience, we recommend staying in Dobbin, the horse box, set in the grounds of a stunning manor house on the edge of Cockermouth. Sleeping up to four, Dobbin shows the true meaning of glamping.
10. Arcadia Camping, Wrexham, Wales
If you’re looking for a glamping experience for the whole gang, Arcadia Camping offers a large Safari tent which sleeps up to ten in a private five acre field. Take a kayak onto the private lake for an afternoon, or find a quiet spot for fishing. Complete with a natural lounge pool, this is the staycation of your dreams.
With space to pitch up extra tents if needed, this is an awesome private campground which can work for company getaways, a rural kids’ adventure or a tranquil weekend break for your whole friend group. Take the dogs, your swimsuit and forget your worries for a while.

Relax in this homely touring caravan at Rostrevor Valley. Keep yourselves to yourselves with your fully functional kitchen, or meet new friends at the larger on-site barbecues.
8. Sheerness, Isle of Sheppey
The Isle of Sheppey is the perfect place to relax and unwind, right off the northern coast of Kent. Visit the Elmley National Nature Reserve, pick yourself up some traditional English sweets and sit down for a cuppa at Bosuns Tea Room. If you’re less about local attractions, take the time to enjoy the beach and the local hiking routes.
Take your significant other on a romantic escape to the luxury hobbit house where you can feel like you’ve walked straight into Lord of the Rings, but with a few modern luxuries - including a wood fired hot tub! Take your pet along with you and leave your worries behind you.
9. The Lake District, Cockermouth
If you are looking for uninterrupted views of the Lake District, with the stunning Scale Force waterfalls nearby, this is the staycation for you. Cockermouth boasts access to the stunning Whinlatter Forest and Bassenthwaite Lake. There are local quirks, such as the Pencil Museum which can be the ideal rainy day trip.
For the full rural experience, we recommend staying in Dobbin, the horse box, set in the grounds of a stunning manor house on the edge of Cockermouth. Sleeping up to four, Dobbin shows the true meaning of glamping.
10. Arcadia Camping, Wrexham, Wales
If you’re looking for a glamping experience for the whole gang, Arcadia Camping offers a large Safari tent which sleeps up to ten in a private five acre field. Take a kayak onto the private lake for an afternoon, or find a quiet spot for fishing. Complete with a natural lounge pool, this is the staycation of your dreams.
With space to pitch up extra tents if needed, this is an awesome private campground which can work for company getaways, a rural kids’ adventure or a tranquil weekend break for your whole friend group. Take the dogs, your swimsuit and forget your worries for a while.
