glamping is for me

Glamping, I'm not ashamed to admit, is for me!

Before I went in April a friend said to me, 'it's not real camping is it'.  After our recent experience, the second one I've had of glamping, all I can say is - You camp your way and I'll glamp mine.

We had rainy days, glimpses of sunshine, marshmallows round the camp fire, chatting all night, baggy eyes in the morning, lazy days, more lazy days, visits to the farm animals, sleeping in more clothes than worn in a week, rounders on the fields, bacon sandwiches........ oh the list is endless.


This is the type of tent you are provided with when Glamping
(First 2 Photos borrowed from the Feather Down Farm website)






Wide open fields


Feeding the goats


Dinner by candlelight


Finding wildlife, and putting it back again (we know these are protected so we took real care)


Good old fashioned 'make up your own entertainment'


And beautiful sunsets


oh, forgot to mention - wood burning stove on the wooden decked flooring, 3 separate bedrooms with wooden based beds, leather sofa, rolled topped bath with shower and ...... a kitchen sink.

With friends, friends children and no need to rush Glamping is a treat and a half.
