I've enjoyed chilling at home during lockdown but it now feels OK to START thinking about holidays again.

If sites were open and you could have your pick, where would you go and why?

I think I might ease myself in gently and head back to this relaxing glamping site in Devon in the south west of England. I choose this holiday because it's not far to drive to, was a really stress free break, had a pub with food within walking distance and had few on-site amenities - apart from the wonderfulness of your own private hot-tub of course. Yep, this would just suit me at the moment! https://bitly.com/2XZSfy7

Have you started thinking about holidays since lockdown has eased a little? If so you may enjoy this video about a luxurious glamp-site we reviewed in the south west of England in Devon.
With private hot tub, loos and shower, it's like no other tent I've stayed in before! What do you think? Are you hoping to get away this year or do circumstances mean you're more likely to stay at home?
