Bell Tent
Bell Tents, with their recognisable shape featuring one pole in the middle and billowing canvas making up a mini circus tent style affair, are one of the prettiest and most recognisable tent styles around. They are increasingly popular now among campers who want a stylish yet resilient abode for their camping trip, and the large size means you can get a whole family in without anyone squashing or crouching. Many campsites now offer Bell Tents as a glamping option which are set up for you, meaning a whole lot less hassle and a whole more time to get your bunting and fairy lights attached. These pre-erected tents can range from empty - you bring all your own garb, blow up mattress and all - to fully furnished, often including wood-burner, a gloriously comfy bed and sofas. It's up to you how 'back to basics' you want to go, and this is the joy of the Bell Tent. You are certainly still camping....but for those who like a few home comforts, then there are some incredible tents to choose from with comforts that aren't too far off those of a luxury hotel. All hail the Great Outdoors!
Boat
For something a bit different on your next trip, why not holiday on water instead of dry land and book a stay on a boat. Whether you are relaxing in a marina, setting sail down the Norfolk broads or mooring up in Salcombe, a boat stay can really make for an incredible holiday.
Bothy
A Scottish bothy - traditionally - was a small house in a remote location; a basic shelter which was left unlocked and available for anyone to use who was in need of a roof and a bed for the night. Sounds rather romantic and wonderful doesn't it? Well, these days you can book a bothy for a trip away out of choice....not just because you are stranded on a mountainside with no torch and a flock of sheep for company. They are gorgeous places to stay. Calm, relaxing, off the beaten track, these are simple (or sometimes not so simple) retreats to rest, switch off and appreciate the peace and quiet of the surrounding countryside.
Boutique Hotel
If you want to treat yourself to a luxurious break, choose to stay at one of the many boutique hotels in the UK. Boutique hotels aim to be one of a kind, so whether it is a small hotel with a few rooms, or part of a larger luxury hotel brand, you can be sure of an upscale, individual and very fashionable bed for the night.

Bus
What better than to stay in a converted bus for your next glamping trip!
Cabin
Whatever the season, a cabin stay is the perfect way to get away from it all; no one else clunking around in the next hotel room, just a peaceful, relaxing break - often tucked away on their own and miles from the stresses of everyday life. Booking a cabin is the perfect way to recharge your batteries and reconnect with nature - whether you stay in the woods, by a beach or on the side of a lake - there are so many gorgeous cabins to choose from all over the UK. They can be rustic or luxurious, but all of these charming properties are a real change from staying in a regular house or hotel and offer a truly unique experience.

Camping and Glamping
Camping is a complete joy. It is the family holiday (and experience) that once tried, will never be forgotten and more than likely, repeated again and again. Pitch your tent by a stunning Cornish sandy beach, on the shores of the Lake District or in the tranquil setting of the New Forrest....the world - literally - is your oyster. There are so many campsites across the UK; stick a pin in a map, load up the car and head off. Some campsites have more of a wild feel; fewer facilities, less noise and light pollution and no towns for miles around, for that twinkling starry night feeling of tranquility. Others are larger with lots of things on site to use if you want them; adventure playgrounds, farm shops, bike hire, some even have restaurants and swimming pools. Most will accept your furry friend (talking dogs not husbands here) and all usually have basic facilities, so don't fear, you won't be heading off into the forest with a spade, a loo roll and a red face. You can make it home from home, or you can cut off from the outside world completely (bar the odd sheep or Alpaca) for a real back to basics experience.

Glamping Pod
Glamping is a marvellous invention. It is for those of us who want all the benefits of a wonderful outdoor experience, but don't want the palava of dragging a tent across a field, playing cats cradle with ropes and poles and bringing their own saucepans from home. Glamping is genius: you are essentially camping, but everything is already set up - and you get some insulation from the chilly weather. Glamping pods are great; you are still very much living outdoors, but in the evening you have a warm place to lay your head without the flapping canvas. Most pods are small, cosy and wooden, and often domed - like the top half of an old fashioned gypsy wagon, without the wheels. They're awesome, functional and well equipped, and depending on high end you go, you might end up with a hot tub, a king sized bed and allsorts. Choose the right one to suit your holiday and enjoy a luxury version of camping!
