Serenity is everything at this 16ft riverside yurt in East Sussex. The surrounding four-acre meadow and weaving river nearby are home to kingfishers, oystercatchers and buzzards. Riverside glamping at Burning Heart River Camp offers the chance to watch the water go by from almost anywhere on site – including the king size bed and even the outdoor (yes, outdoor) bathroom! If that sounds a bit too Bear Grylls for your liking, there’s also an indoor toilet in the yurt for a bit of privacy. Burning Heart can be booked for a family or for a group of up to 30 people, as the surrounding sites can combine to make for an unforgettable getaway. Being off-grid makes for a truly serene experience, but for those who want to check in with the outside world and need some power to do so there’s an optional generator available.

If it’s variety you’re after this year, look no further than this 40-acre, family run, eco-sensitive farm in rural West Wales. Ceridwen’s location is one thing, being completely immersed in the surrounding wooded valley but also just 30 minutes from the beach. However, it the farm’s range of accommodation that really brings this spot to the fore. A range of yurts, eco pods and classic caravans will offer a more traditional idea of glamping for your holiday, but it’s the site’s 1964 Leyland Titan Double Decker Bus that offers one of the coolest vintage living spaces you’ll find anywhere. The bus can sleep six people, with two ensuite double bedrooms on the top deck and a lounge that can sleep two on the double couch. Retro.
