Welcome to Jollydays, the ultimate glamping experience, and probably the closest you'll ever get to a magical tent in this boringly muggle world. Set in a pristine 200 acre forest in North Yorkshire, the divinely decorated luxury tents are sprinkled throughout the fairytale wood, their simple exteriors giving no hint to the incredible space and comfort within. Beautiful big-top draped ceilings hide bedrooms with plush four poster beds, clawfoot tubs complete with plentiful, piping hot water and spacious living areas for general lounging about.
For sustenance, wander down to the local organic farm store for ingredients, or avoid cooking altogether by ordering in a "dinner pot", a beautifully prepared, locally-grown meal left on your doorstep. Need a little snack and warming brew during a long day of forest tramping? Instead of a lobby, Jollydays has an adorable "tea tent" serving hot tea and creamy cakes throughout the day.
I suggest exploring the nearby river Derwent (Otters!), visiting the adjoining ancient battlefield (ghost stories!) and finishing the day with a long, hot bath and drinks by candlelight. Peace and quiet, the sweet smell of the forest, stars at night and birdsong in the morning. Muggles or not, it's sure to be a perfectly magical weekend...
