Maythorn Yurt

The morning sun filters through the trees onto timber decking where last night's firepit embers still tick gently in the cool air.

This is glamping in the proper sense — solid chalets and cosy pods rather than canvas, so it suits families after a bit more comfort, couples wanting a woodland escape without the faff of tent pegs, or anyone who fancies a swim whatever the weather. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing one. The site keeps things peaceful and green, tucked into natural surroundings that feel a world away from car parks and static rows.

There's a pool onsite, which is a rare treat for a small glamping spot, and campfires are allowed but check the arrangement when you arrive — sometimes it's firepit-dependent or seasonal. Expect a quiet, tucked-away feel rather than a bustling campsite vibe, with enough space between pitches to feel properly settled in.
