A Digital Detox you didn't know you needed

A digital detox is the intentional break-away from devices like computers, smartphones and tablets. whether that be for the day, the weekend or even longer, the goal is to ultimately establish a healthier relationship with technology and therefore improving your mental health.

In today's day and age, it seems as though everyone is glued to their phones. We can get the news, entertainment and even stay connected with our family and friends - all from a device that we can slip into our pockets!

So why do you need a digital detox and how can a stay at Little Oakhurst help that?

Using digital devices too often can cause challenges such as information overload, sleep disruption and social comparison - we can negatively impact self-esteem and induce depression and anxiety.

A lot of people have experienced these challenges and we all know its not a very nice thing to go through. It's why we built ourselves up from the boggy field that the glamping site originally was.

Where we saw hosts offering an array of private WiFi, smart TV's, games consoles and even speaker systems, it left us confused...

Do people really go on holiday just to do what they can do at home?

Do people really go 'glamping' just to spend the entire time watching TV?

To us, that isn't getting the most out of your stay. It's not where the true enjoyment lies, and it certainly isn't what glamping should focus on.

Little Oakhurst offers a detox from all of that - you can still bring your own! We're not discouraging phones and music altogether! - we simply create a place so peaceful that you'll forget to pick your phone up!

Here, your time is spent watching the sunrise from your shepherd's hut or yurt, soaking in the wood-fired hot tub beneath the stars, listening to birdsong instead of notifications and remembering how good it feels to simply be present.

Trust us!

With the amount of friends or family we ask to take pictures, and yet every single time, they "forget!" - we know you will too!

Relax, take the time out and wake up the right way!
