Why Stay At A Luxury Glamping Site?

Whether you’re planning your next weekend escape or on the lookout for a new kind of holiday, luxury glamping might just be the answer. Combining the charm of the great outdoors with the creature comforts of a boutique stay, glamping has become one of the UK’s favourite ways to holiday.

At Lovat Parks, we know there’s something magical about waking up surrounded by nature—with a proper mattress beneath you and a hot coffee in hand. But why should you consider a luxury glamping site for your next getaway? Let us guide you through.

What is Glamping?

Glamping — short for ‘glamourous camping’—is all about experiencing the outdoors without giving up the comforts of home. Think cosy beds, private bathrooms, real kitchens, and toasty wood burners—all tucked inside beautifully styled tents, huts, or lodges.

It’s the perfect mix of rustic and refined. For those who love the idea of camping but aren’t keen on pitching a tent or sleeping on the ground, luxury glamping is the ideal solution.

Types of Glamping Accommodation

Not all glamping is created equal. Here’s a quick look at the most popular types of luxury glamping accommodation you’ll find across our holiday parks.

Shepherds Huts

Cosy, full of charm, and rich in character—our handcrafted shepherd’s huts offer a nostalgic escape to simpler times, without sacrificing modern comforts. Each hut comes complete with an integrated kitchen, full-size mattress, hot tub, BBQ area, and your choice of a roll top bath or a shower at Green Hill Farm in the New Forest. Prefer just a shower? You’ll find that option at our Sun Haven park near Mawgan Porth too

Safari Tents

Spacious, stylish, and full of character, our safari tents bring a sense of adventure to your UK getaway. With multiple bedrooms, wood burners, and a fully equipped kitchen beneath canvas-draped beams, they’re perfect for families. Plus, a secret bedroom and play den add a little extra magic for younger explorers.

Glamping Pods

Our new Glamping Pods are compact, modern, and full of clever touches—plus they come with a private hot tub for ultimate relaxation. Sleeping up to six, each pod features a split-level layout with a mezzanine bedroom and pull-out sofa bed. While the stairs make them better suited to older children, they’re a perfect fit for couples or families wanting something a little different. Available at Waxham Sands in Norfolk and Cornish Meadows in Cornwall, these pods are a fun and stylish way to enjoy nature—without leaving comfort  behind.

When to Go Glamping

Spring / Summer

The most popular seasons to glamp, and for good reason. Think longer days, sun-soaked evenings, and alfresco meals under the stars in your very own hot tub. Perfect for family adventures, nature walks, and exploring the UK’s best loved coastlines and countryside.

Autumn 

Insulated walls, wood-burners, and hot showers mean you can enjoy a snug autumn retreat without the frostbite—just don’t forget a good book. While our parks close for winter, glamping during the October half term before they shut makes the perfect end-of-year family escape.

Dog-Friendly Glamping

All our holiday parks are dog-friendly, so your four-legged friend can be part of the adventure—think fresh air, open spaces, and endless walkies right from your doorstep. While dogs aren’t allowed in the shepherd’s huts or glamping pods, our safari tents at Green Hill Farm and Cornish Meadows are perfectly set up for pups.

Family Friendly Glamping

With space to roam, family-friendly amenities, and fun outdoor experiences, glamping is a brilliant option for kids (and parents and even grandparents!). No need to keep little ones entertained indoors—let nature do the work.

From marshmallow toasting by our firepits to spotting wildlife our big 5 creatures or bonding over a board game, it’s a family break full of fresh air and new memories.

Romantic Glamping Stays

Escape the everyday with a romantic glamping getaway. Tucked-away shepherd’s huts and stargazing in a private hot tub make glamping the perfect choice for couples looking to reconnect and relax. Whether it’s an anniversary, a honeymoon, a babymoon, or just because, it’s a special way to spend quality time together.

Luxury Glamping Facilities

So, what makes luxury glamping different from your average camping trip? Here are just a few of the amenities you can expect:

Comfortable bed and bedding

Say goodbye to sleeping bags. Enjoy real mattresses, plush duvets, and soft pillows.

Hot tubs

Relax under the stars in your very own hot tub, an extra touch of indulgence that turns your trip into a spa-worthy stay.
