3. Little Seed Field. Yorkshire. England.

Seven hundred and fifty feet above sea level, south facing and overlooking the Nidderdale valley in the Yorkshire Dales, the landscape and views are simply inspirational. Hence one of the reasons Joanne and Sean jumped at the opportunity to offer accommodation that captured the backdrop of the sun setting over the raw, wild Yorkshire Dales.
4. Beacon Hill Farm. Finally, a Treehouse for the Sophisticated Traveller.
Facing out from the south side of the woods, Beacon Hill Farm’s Tree House offers panoramic coastal views from the south east, to the Pennines and to the south west. Sleeping two guests at a time, this cutting edge building is contemporary in its styling and organic in its aesthetics. Offering privacy and style it is a perfect base for any memorable holiday to the region.
Clad in burnt Siberian larch and standing high on Corten steel columns, with large mirrored glass windows, guests are invited to fully appreciate the breath taking views and the careful planning that has gone into the creation of this palatial stay. And, allowing guests to truly have their cake and eat it, not only does the tree house offer luxurious comforts of a super king sized bed and a view of fifty miles to the south, but is also only a short walk from the spa facilities.

6. Go Eco Glamping. Wales.
Oakvale is a glamping success story. Terresa Banyard and her husband Chris, set up their glamping site after suspecting they were going to be made redundant. In a very Richard Bransonesque approach, together they threw about some ideas of what to do and when glamping kept popping up as an option they just went, “Why not?”
