For a low-tech winter break try glam-camping in these cosy, weather-proofed yurts, shepherd's huts and lodges from Campsites.co.uk. There are wood burners and fire pits to keep toes toasty, and you'll enjoy the UK's best countryside as it transforms into a winter wonderland.

Yurtcamp, Devon

Yurtcamp in Liverton, south Devon, is set in 40 acres of woodland that is home to birds of prey and deer. There are 22 yurts hidden among the trees, and they are fully insulated and have their own log burners, campfire pits and real beds. Every yurt has a viewing dome for star spotting and the site has a full size woodland assault course for children and adults. Nearby Dartmoor offers winter activities such as pony trekking and rock scrambling. A three-night stay starting 18 November costs from £271, based on two people sharing a small yurt, https://www.campsites.co.uk/go/27630.

Dorset Forest Garden

For a romantic couples break flock to the shepherd's huts in the forest garden at Beaminster Bottom Farm in Dorset. The artisan and forager huts have been beautifully finished with restored furniture and blacksmith fittings and they have log burners to warm-up winter evenings. The huts have an en-suite loo and hot shower and there's a communal BBQ lodge for hearty meals whatever the weather. The huts have spectacular views of the west Dorset countryside and are surrounded by fruit trees and shrubs, with sheep, ducks and rabbits the only neighbours. Prices start from £75 per night for midweek stays in November, https://www.campsites.co.uk/go/27595.

Chilterns View, Oxfordshire

The Chilterns View is a collection of luxury lodges with floor-to-ceiling glass fronts for spectacular views across the Chiltern Hills in Oxfordshire. There's no chance of catching a winter chill - the lodges are triple-glazed and have wood-burning stoves, walk in wet-rooms, king-size beds and private hot tubs. Days are spent discovering the beautiful Chilterns while murder-mystery fans can discover an unexpected bonus - nearby Wallingford is the home of Midsomer Murders and Agatha Christie. A three-night November break starts from £495, https://www.campsites.co.uk/go/27602.
