15 best coastal glamping sites in the UK

Source: Cool Camping: Coast

Summer is around the corner (even if it doesn’t feel like it with this weather), so it’s time to start planning your next staycation.

If you fancy a weekend in the outdoors by the sea but can’t quite face camping, why not go for a slightly more luxury option.

From clifftop campsites to harbour-side hideaways, below are twenty of the very best coastal glamping spots in the UK.

Cotna Eco Retreat, Cornwall

Streams running through this 10-acre smallholding – home to hens, horses and vegetable-filled poly-tunnels – trickle towards the quaint harbour village of Mevagissey, two miles away. The beaches of Gorran Haven, Hemmick and Vault are closer still and an easy half hour walk from your yurt. Furnished with a double bed, wood-burner and cooking facilities, the two Mongolian-style structures are also joined by a cosy shepherd’s hut and an atmospheric straw bale studio, with rough, honey-coloured interior walls housing a kitchen, brass-bedded bedroom and an en-suite bathroom. The local pub, meanwhile, built in 1837 and run by the original proprietor’s great-great-grandson is a five-minute stroll up the track.

Accommodation from £70 per night for two people hipcamp.com

Coastal Cabins, Devon

Ferns, daffodils and yellow flag irises
