For those who yearn to turn off mobile devices and escape the pressures of daily life, a weekend in a yurt, a hut, or a small dwelling could be just what the doctor ordered.
One of the fastest growing staycations of recent times, this unique collection offers everything from a romantic break for two, to short family weekends on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales.
Most are located off the beaten track, and whilst many sites offer free wifi, remote stays are aimed at those who want to disconnect and escape the hustle and bustle of every day life.
Although some sites have private hot tubs and other luxuries, it is important to know how to make your own fire, cook outdoors, and put in some leg work for the full experience.
