GO GLAMPING!

When you don’t want to go as budget as camping, glamping is a brilliant halfway house. Plus, what you get for your money will often exceed anything an expensive hotel can offer, especially if you like the rustic, wilderness approach. Canopy & Stars has great ideas for unique places to stay, including treehouses, lakeside cabins, yurts and gypsy caravans in the UK and Europe. They’ve also recently achieved the highest B Corp score** in travel in the world, so you can book with a clearer conscience. You can search for places under £100 a night (we love Caban Crwn in the heart of the Welsh countryside and Pondenrosa, a wagon in the Yorkshire woods). Outside the UK, La Casetta Sul Mare is a beautiful Tuscan eco lodge with sea views, and Sky Light is a stunning lakeside treehouse in the French Dordogne with a bedroom with its own terrace upstairs, hanging chairs and loungers on the terraces, a skylight shower and a woodland hot tub. GET THERE Canopy & Stars (canopyandstars.co.uk) offers Caban Crwn for £85 a night and Pondenrosa for £47.50pp a night (both sleep two).

La Casetta Sul Mare costs from £243 a night for two people and easyjet (easyjet.com) flies from London Gatwick to Pisa from £129pp return in July. Sky Light costs from £200 a night for two and you can take the ferry from Portsmouth to Caen with Brittany Ferries (brittanyferries.com) from £159 return for a small car with two passengers.
