Glisten, glamping domes

Overview - Glisten, glamping domes

(These domes are available for holidays from 1st April until the end of September)

Located in a great campsite in the Pays Basque region, the domes at Glisten benefit from being on a fantastic site – it is very relaxed and there is a great atmosphere for all the family. Noise levels on the site come down at about 10:30pm which means even though you are sharing your surroundings you’re not left with late night disturbance – it’s a true family friendly place to stay.

The facilities at the site are great, small pools for the little people and larger pool for the not so little. There is a multi-sport pitch, a tennis court, table tennis tables, boules. Everything is available for the guests and it’s free. The campsite also lend the equipment for free (balls, tennis racquet etc…) There is an outdoor playground, bouncy castle in the summer and open spaces to run wild! The small farm on the campsite will be a daily delight for little ones, help to feed the Shetland ponies and donkeys and make new farmyard friends! The kids camp runs in the summer months and this too is free, arts and crafts, mini disco – lots to keep them entertained, you just need to sign up with the staff when you arrive.

The camp allows parents to relax in their surroundings or enjoy a glass of wine and tapas in the restaurant/bar and some socialising with other guests and also provides opportunities for the kids to meet new friends and enjoy new activities. An added bonus is that the restaurant does take away dishes if you fancy a night off from cooking!

As far as your accommodation is concerned, there are 10 domes on the site so you can choose your location – do you fancy being near the streams, playgrounds, close to facilities or tucked away bit? Maybe you would like one of the new domes with ensuite facilities for an extra £15 per night? It’s your choice. Just enquire with the owner about your options.

If you have tried camping and weren’t too sure – you will love these domes. You have all the benefits of getting back to nature and enjoying the wildlife and great views and spending time with the family yet those added luxuries really make your stay totally amazing. You will have a fantastic time.

Highchairs, travel cots, boosters, a box of toys to use for the beach and some flotation devices are all available if you would like to borrow them, just let the owner know when you book if you need anything extra in the dome to make your stay easier with babies and young children. 

If you fancy exploring the surrounding areas, you have a great location in the beautiful Pays Basques. It offers you beaches, mountains, great cities and Spain just on your door step. Take a trip to St Jean de Luz (voted best family resort in France 2014) it is a 10 minute drive away and has one of the best protected beaches in South West France - it’s great for toddlers, and has lovely shops, bars and restaurants to enjoy. The size of the resort makes it easy to navigate and get back to the beach if the kids get too restless. There is so much to do here for young families whatever the weather, a great holiday for all of you. (See the Tots Top 10 for some more fantastic ideas)
