How couples reconnect without distractions

"True emotional closeness relies on completely unplugging from screens, chores and work to focus on one another. It is about dedicating time to active listening, physical touch and fresh, shared experiences."

at least, that's what the textbook definition is.

How do you do that in a society where everyone is constantly online? - that's where we can help!

Little Oakhurst Boutique Glamping is mostly, permanently offline - someone has to cater to our social media audiences at least! We don't have TV's, we don't have Wifi... and that's by design!

For the longest time, the Wifi signals on the farm have been sporadic, unreliable or just plain non-existent. We've found ourselves laughing more at the dinner table, debating each other over various topics to the sound of a crackly and stuttering TV and even sought out jobs or fun activities in the wake of boredom as opposed to spending hours scrolling through social media.

So how can a stay at Little Oakhurst help?

The Unique and Boutique Accommodation - Our shepherd's huts are all homemade (right here on the farm!). We've salvaged materials, repurposed items and featured out farm equipment in our huts. Escaping from the hubbub of life into a cosy shepherds hut will feel like it's just you and your partner against the world! You'll find yourself automatically de-stressing as soon as you sit down!

Wood-fired Hot Tubs - Each of our unique acccommodations comes with the hot tubs full and ready to go - thats less time for you to struggle through building a fire and more time for each other! hot tubs are a great way to relax with each other, a close-knit space, a good view, get some music on and you've got yourself a brilliant night in!

Morning Coffee with a view - We've heard it all before, "It's the little things in life", we agree! There is genuinely nothing better than knowing you have the day or the rest of the week off and you can take your time with that one beverage that'll wake you up in the morning. Mayflower's decking boasts vistas across the Ribble Valley, looking out over Pendle Hill and Clitheroe. Ivy has a front decking, right in front of the double doors that looks out into nature and Pendle Hill and Honeysuckle has everyone's favourite coffee morning seat - an outdoor seating area with seats facing the view we have to offer.

Cook a meal together - make it easy and use the indoor kitchens or have some challenging fun and brave the BBQ/fire pit! Theres nothing quite like reconnecting without experiencing the funny mistakes together.

Go for a long walk - Luckily, we are surrounded by nothing but nature...right from your front doorstep! Do the famous Tolkien Trail (of which the trail leads you back to our farm track!) or sneak through village gardens not knowing if you're trespassing into someones privacy (I mean it! Hurst Green has a footpath, of which most goes through people's back gardens). There's absolutely plenty of options in the Ribble Valley and with the Lake District above us and the Yorkshire Dales to our side, you wont find a fraction of their crowds within our boarders!
