Short breaks in the UK

We all crave a quick escape closer to nature, and even a short weekend glamping break can bring that refreshing sense of calm that comes from stepping away from everyday life. 

Our unique places to stay are perfect for easy UK getaways, whether you’re celebrating something special, planning a family weekend, or simply seeking a peaceful couple of nights somewhere green and quiet. Every spot has been personally inspected, so you can relax and enjoy a stress-free weekend break from start to finish.

✓ No two cabins, treehouses, shepherd’s huts or yurts are the same, and every one has been personally visited and approved by our team, chosen for character, creativity and a real connection to nature. 

✓ Booking with us means supporting small, independent owners who care about their land. Your holiday directly helps rural communities, sustainable tourism and the future of wild spaces. 

✓ We champion responsible travel and are deeply committed to protecting the wild places we love.

Where to go for a few days in the UK?

For a UK short break, skip the busy hotspots and choose quieter, lesser-known destinations. Hidden coastlines, valleys, and woodlands offer space to unwind and reconnect with nature. Whether it’s a cosy retreat or unique glamping stay, an unexpected location can turn a few days away into something truly memorable.

What should I do on a glamping weekend break?

Being in fairly rural places, hiking and wild swimming are probably the two most popular activities for anyone glamping. But we’d like to put in a recommendation for giving yourself permission to do nothing at all. Relax. Really relax. Switch off your phone, fall asleep under a book, eat when you’re hungry, sleep when it’s dark, forget what time it is and let nature guide you.

What do I need to take for a short break weekend?

Very little, that’s the whole point! A short getaway in the UK is about having nothing to get in the way of unwinding into your downtime. Our places are all different, so it’s always worth checking the “essentials” section of our site for details, but generally you can turn up with a couple of changes of clothes and you’ll be fine.
