Cruckbarn
High above the Herefordshire village of Wigmore, Cruckbarn is the ideal country break for active families – and the perfect gift for your dad this year. They have some last-minute midweek availability this June and July, and it's a wonderful place for wise old pops to take stock of the world, make a fire and then head off to eat their fill at the excellent village pub The Oak. It will be a Father's Day they won't easily forget. And remember, the owner also has a fabulous bed and breakfast – Abbots Lodge – just down the road.
Millside Wigwams
Right by the river Witham in southern Lincolnshire, Millside Wigwams has six cosy yet uxurious wooden glamping pods – each with a double bed and sofa bed, an en-suite shower and toilet, a small kitchenette equipped with crockery, cookware and cutlery, and a dining table and chairs. They have electricity and hot water, TV and DVD, their own dedicated firepit and picnic table outside. Plus, they're currently offering 2-hour beekeeping taster sessions for guests – how about that for an offbeat but very sweet Dad's Day present. He even gets to take away a jar of honey.
