5. Take a moment to unwind
Surely a beach trip would be nice, and the same goes for city tours. However, nothing relieves stress and provides mental and emotional healing the same way nature does. Glamping is a great activity to spend time away from technology and focus on what nature offers instead; it is also an opportunity to get closer to your loved ones.
The power this type of trip holds is enough for you to start fresh and go on with life with much lighter footsteps.
6. Comfortable camping pod for two
In a 6-acre (2.4-hectare) space that is surrounded by farm land are camping pods where you can enjoy peace and tranquility with your significant other and dog. This accommodation allows you to bring your pets with you. Although small, it provides enough headroom for visitors, and it is equipped with lights, power sockets, and a heater for added convenience. Each pod also comes with timber decking, benches, and hardstanding for barbecues. Although all these amenities seem to be enough, you will still need to bring your own camping kit with you.
The place is still a camping site, after all, just more comfortable.
