Glamping in Essex

Who we are We’re a mixed bunch, but one thing we have in common is our love for people, places, and the environment. Canopy & Stars is part family owned, part employee owned and even part charitable trust – through which we donate money to climate concerned charities. We inspect every space we have, so you know when you get there, it’s as you expect it (or even a little better).

Why choose glamping Glamping is a modern spin on an ancient trend. Moving nomadically in search of something new, interesting and different. Things have moved on a bit since its prehistoric invention, and it won’t be tough to notice. You’ll find things like Hikki hot tubs, saunas and yoga studios. But you'll find everything good that’s low tech too. Wild swimming, forest bathing and epic trails to trek.

What about the environment? For starters, one of the best things about Canopy & Stars places is that you can get to every one of them without a plane. But does that make them green? On its own, no. But we’re working to achieve net zero by 2030, working to plant one million trees and have established a charitable trust with an environmental focus, and that’s just the beginning.

What can I do at my stay in Essex? What about taking an evening to paddle a boat across your private lake? Throwing clay, and firing it in a kiln? You could hire kayaks, and take on the Ray Channel, or go on a wine tasting and taking tour of the vineyard. There’s so much to try, when it comes to what to do – options are not the problem. It’s how long you can take off to squeeze it all in.
