Karen Mullins, Marketing Director of Owners Direct says: "Why get soaked in a muddy tent when you can stay in last minute accommodation to suit your budget and party size near the festival site with everything you need to dry out and relax. You have the freedom to come and go as you please and bring your friends too, as well as spending some extra time seeing nearby sights and attractions,” she explains.
If you're heading to other summer UK festivals and don't want to risk getting soaked, here are some more self-catering options from Owners Direct:
Latitude, July 17-20
Henham Park, Beccles, Suffolk
Not just a music festival, Latitude is teeming with atmosphere, being held in such a stunning setting by a reed-edged lake. The festival site lends itself to some dazzling visual art and an enviable comedy line up.
Where to stay: These rain proof Medieval glamping tents near Bungay in Suffolk are set in 14 acres of private land and are only a 13 minute drive from the festival site. The tents are beautifully decorated in Medieval style with double and single beds, wood burners, personal decking with barbecues and far from Medieval showers. It's also an animal lover's paradise as you'll be keeping company with 9 sheep, 5 goats, 10 pigs and numerous chickens. You can even bring your own horse, but jousting is optional.
The tents cost from £67 per night and can be booked via Owners Direct at: www.ownersdirect.co.uk/E10099
Womad, July 24-27
Charlton Park, Malmesbury, Wiltshire
Womad is a feast of world music and exotic food with a bohemian atmosphere that's hard to beat on a hopefully sunny afternoon in July. There's something for everyone here from arty activities for children to unusual music you may have never heard before. Mongolian Throat Singing anyone?
Where to Stay: These pretty Wiltshire cottages, sleeping four are conveniently situated for the Womad festival and set in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Beautifully furnished, the cottages are a delight to return to after a day at the festival - if the sun does make an appearance there's a lovely garden to relax in complete with barbecue.
The cottages cost from £700 per week in July with a minimum stay of three nights and you can book via Owners Direct at: http://www.ownersdirect.co.uk/accommodation/p8109124
Creamfields, 21-24th August
Daresbury, Cheshire
This dance lover's paradise is held for three days over the August bank holiday and features not one but three silent discos. Headlining in 2014 are Gorgon City, Calvin Harris, Pete Tong, Eric Prydz, Annie Mac, Fatboy Slim and many more. Creamfields is a place to dance your socks off so bring comfortable shoes!
Where to stay: This iconic serviced apartment in Chester ticks all the boxes for a comfortable and stylish stay in a perfect central location. If you don't feel like cooking, the apartment is just a two minute walk away from Oddfellows dining experience inspired by the Mediterranean which includes a secret garden. It's also just around the corner from Chester's best boutique shops and is a short stroll from the River Dee.
The apartment costs from £175 per night and can be booked via Owners Direct at: www.ownersdirect.co.uk/E15213
