The Shepherds Hut at Hemsford Yurt Camp

Located in a beautiful rural location, just three miles from the bohemian town of Totnes, this shepherd’s hut is located in a three acre meadow overlooking a lake and the River Hems.

There’s something very romantic about a cosy night in front of a fire. This quirky shepherd’s hut has a lovely little wood burning stove and a fire pit in the garden area, perfect for roasting marshmallows. A supply of logs for the camp fire or wood burner is supplied.

The hut offers clear dark skies in a peaceful quiet setting, perfect for romantic chat under the stars.

Check in 13^th February for 2 nights for only £100.

The Geodome at Loveland Farm

In an area of outstanding natural beauty lies Loveland Farm a mile from Hartland point in North Devon. The glamping pods at Loveland are perfect for a romantic couple getaway and are incredibly stylish; it’s no wonder this glamping site was voted “Top 10 Glamping escapes” by Escapism Magazine. The 6 acres of Loveland Farm sit between rolling fields with the dramatic North Devon coastline just a stone's throw from the site.

Cosy up and watch a romantic movie together in your pod using the projector screen provided or why not enhance your luxurious experience and add a little extra to your stay with a prosecco hamper or a cheese and wine hamper for a romantic nights stay in your quirky glamping accommodation.

The Nest Treehouse

This is the perfect couple's ‘love nest’. Everything is incorporated for your romantic stay including bed linen, towels and logs for the wood burning stove. The Nest is set within its own private wood, allowing a peaceful escape from everyday life as you reconnect with nature whilst enjoying the view from the veranda.

Located in the Blackdown Hills, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you won’t be stuck for things to do with romantic walks and horseriding on your doorstep. The treehouse has its own kitchen and dining area but should you choose to dine out there are plenty of pubs and restaurants in the nearby area.

Top Tips: make your Valentine’s glamping extra special

Why not make your Valentine’s Day glamping trip a complete surprise for your partner? Just tell them to keep the dates free and be prepared for a surprise. It makes it extra special fun, and you get the pleasure of all the planning and packing to surprise your Valentine!

No glamping date night is complete without some bubbly (although it doesn’t have to be alcoholic). Take wine glasses (packed in an inverted paper or plastic cup to protect the rims), a candle (battery operated flameless are safe and very effective) and speakers for soft music. Some savoury snacks to nibble on before dinner, marshmallows to toast and a pack of chocolate hearts for dessert will all add to the special sense of sharing and indulging.

Glamping for couples makes it easy to disconnect from the rest of the world for 24 hours and focus totally on each other. Make sure you listen as well as talk, or just sit and enjoy the stillness of nature, the starlit sky and the peaceful surroundings. That’s what romantic glamping getaways are all about.
