One of the main reasons your guests are opting for an outdoor stay-cation is to re-connect with nature and all the good she brings to us. Help them celebrate all things bright and beautiful this spring by exploring just how to make the most of your outdoor accommodation. This blog highlights 5 exciting and innovative suggestions that can be re-designed to suit your situation. It's time to shrug off the bleak mid-winter and get your outdoor offerings up to scratch. This is your chance to prep for a strong summer season - so let your outdoor imagination run wild!
Mindfulness and Meditation:
The art of mindfulness has become more and more embedded into our daily lives over the past few years; it has become essential to find some peace amongst the chaos of the work/life balance. The glamping phenomenon has come about because of this strong desire to flee cities and 9-to-5s, quite literally fulfilling the urge to “escape to the country”.
Creating a dedicated space where your guests can cultivate some spiritual R&R will be a fabulous addition to your site. The UK mental health charity Mind states that meditation can help people become more self-aware, as well as feel calmer and less stressed. Spending a mere 10-15 minutes a day of being mindful can lead you to become more able to choose how you respond to thoughts and feelings, cope with negativity and be kinder to yourself – what's not to love?
Accessorise your meditation garden with a soothing water feature or windchimes in order to create a calming soundtrack and present an ambience of inner peace and balance. Additionally, you could opt for a low level seating area with soft cushions and throws; allowing guests to get comfy and ready to unwind. Why not also plant some aromatic plants and flowers to stimulate the senses and get your guests in the zone?
Relight Your Fire:
Reverting back to our inner pioneer by sitting around a crackling fire and beholding the night sky is as popular today as it was thousands of years ago - just check out one of our Arctic Cabins if you don't believe us. Creating a secure and relaxed environment is essential. Digging down at least 30cm then removing all turf and top soil will allow you to make a gravel base to place your fire pit on – ideally centred within the seating area.
Alternatively, you could invest in one of our BBQ Cabins for your campsite. The original Scandinavian inspired barbecue cabin, brought to the UK 17 years ago by our sister company - Arctic Cabins. Every single one of our barbecue cabins are manufactured by hand, using traditional methods and top grade timber in the UK. The quality of our buildings is unequalled anywhere else, we are so confident of this we offer a no quibble 10 year manufacturers guarantee giving you complete peace of mind. The BBQ Cabins make a great communal space or VIP hire for campsites, giving guests a unique experience all year round.
Give back to Nature with a Herb Garden:
A herb garden can be an efficient, straightforward and fascinating addition - and you don't need loads of space to make this dream a reality. You can go large or scale down your herb haven depending on what your land has to offer. Remember that herbs can also be planted in pots. The planter possibilities are truly endless!
If you really want to show off your self-sufficiency skills as a Glamp site then why not opt for planting fruit and vegetables alongside your herby friends? Plant up some tomatoes in a pair of old wellies or a hanging basket for hungry campers to pluck at. Try filling up an old wheelbarrow with compost & plant that up with edible flowers. Retro is all the rage so have a gander for vintage agricultural tins, tubs and even tractor tyres look 'blooming' fabulous - if you'll pardon the pun. Come on glampers, let's get planting!
Work It Out, Outside:
There has been a huge rise in Glamp sites and Spa breaks catering for the fitness fanatic in recent years. This fitness-focused idea can be scaled up or down depending on your budget too. If you are on a tight budget and are handy with the tools, a simple workout space can be achieved with a bit of DIY. However, why not explore Cabin Master's bespoke garden gyms?

The market is seeing more and more bold bath tubs and snazzy showering structures. To add an extra layer of luxury why not opt for a Self Cleaning Hot Tubs & Swim Spa courtesy of our sister company Hydropool Midlands?
