Rawe Cottage

Morning sun filters through the valley onto Rawe Cottage's stone walls, and you can hear birdsong before you've even unzipped your pod.

This is one for couples after a proper bed in a guest house room or something a bit different in one of the camping pods — perfect if you want a rural retreat without full canvas commitment. Dogs might be welcome, but worth asking when you book. It's a small, personal setup rather than a big commercial site, so you get that tucked-away feeling that makes year-round escapes actually feel like escapes.

Facilities aren't extensively listed, so best to check what's included with your pitch or room when you reserve. Campfires are a possibility but confirm on arrival — depends on conditions and where you're pitched. The vibe here is quiet and restful, the kind of place where you wake naturally rather than to an alarm, and spend evenings deciding between a woodland walk or just staying put with a book and a view.
