Spend a night under the stars in a traditional Shepherd’s hut.
The concept of a shepherd's hut dates back to the 15th century. It was a kitchen, dining room, bedroom, sitting room and storeroom all rolled into one and used by shepherds in the fields during sheep raising and lambing season, primarily in the United Kingdom and France. The designs vary but all were constructed to provide the shepherd with practical and durable accommodation.
This heritage style of accommodation has been restored and decorated in a vintage style and situated in an enclosure with a fire pit, outdoor table and chairs surrounded by countryside. It has an antique pot-bellied baby wood burner, cooking stove, toilet, double bed, microwave, water bowser, Kilner water dispenser, fridge, 2 Ercol armchairs and a vintage radio.
With this glamping experience you will enjoy a one night stay in the Shepherd’s hut.

Camping can be great fun and this experience allows you to enjoy all the joys of camping without having to rough it.

The camping pods resemble wooden huts and have many advantages over most tents. For a start, they are guaranteed to stay dry inside, which is particularly handy when you can’t rely on the great British weather. If you're looking for a short break away to escape somewhere different and quirky with your partner, camping pods are the perfect getaway.
This voucher entitles two adults to a two night's stay in a camping pod. You can book additional nights at an extra fee at time of booking. Camping pods are generally empty shells so for comfort we recommend you take blow up beds and bedding, however, this does not apply to all pods and we advise that you check on booking. Restrictions may apply to days of the week and months of the year for some locations.
*Please note, at the Paignton location you are unable to take pets.

What did you get up to?
Our experience started with an Afternoon Tea at Novotel London Bridge. From the beginning, staff members were all very welcoming and to our surprise one of them visited our hometown in Ukraine. All cakes were not only photo worthy but scrumptious as well. We were also given a drinks menu, from which we ordered a cappuccino and a green tea which came in a lovely tea pot.
After this we went to The View From The Shard. After the elevator took us up to the 68th floor, we had the option to walk up three more floors. Whilst going up, we had a lot of fun looking for beloved London attractions: St Paul Cathedral, Tower Bridge and Tower of London. Everything was decorated for the Queen’s Jubilee and felt highly appropriate as we continued embracing Britishness after our Afternoon Tea.
What did you enjoy the most?
For example:
Our favourite part of the experience was tasting all the lovely cakes and taking photos and videos of them, while catching up.
At the Shard my favourite spot was roofless terrace with all the photo zones. It was also interesting to see London from a different perspective.
1. Floor 68 is quieter vs. the top floor and perfect for taking photos :)
2. Leave time for a lovely walk down the Thames
3. Leave space in your tummy for all the cakes.
