The smell of old stone and wood polish greets you before you've even dropped your bags — this is glamping with character, not just cladding and a kingsize.

The Lamp House suits couples after a proper hideaway and small families who'd rather have four walls and a bit of history than a tent peg and a prayer. You've got chalets and camping pods here, so there's a choice depending on whether you want ensuite comfort or something more pared-back. Dog owners should ask ahead — policies can flex, but it's worth checking before you book.

Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so this isn't your full-service holiday park with a clubhouse and a chippie. It's quieter than that. Campfires might be allowed depending on conditions — ask when you arrive and they'll let you know what's safe. Expect peace, a bit of seclusion, and the kind of place where you remember to look up at the stars because there's not much else competing for your attention.
