Named after two nearby ancient neolithic sites, Kits Coty Glamping is a small, luxurious glamping site in Kent, situated between Aylesford and the Medway towns. Run for the past decade or so by Mark and Ami Culver, it's a perfect getaway for couples, families and glamping enthusiasts alike, with a range of accommodation options, including camping cabins, a shepherds hut, and two themed bell tents. At less than an hour from London, it's easy to make a weekend of it, and it's a great jumping-off spot for discovering the bucolic countryside of mid-Kent. No surprise then that it was voted Tourism Southeast's 'Glamping Business of the Year' in 2023/24, and won Silver in the national Visit England Awards for Excellence.

Mark and Ami love where they live and are keen to share its delights with the rest of us. They've also done a bit of travelling themselves, so they know how to make their guests feel at home. The cabin – 'Gretel' – can accommodate two adults and two children so is ideal for families; it has a king-size bed carved from a single piece of wood, bunk beds for the kids and its own WC; there's also another family cabin on the way. The shepherds hut – 'Pamela' –  also has a double bed and a table and chairs, while the bell tents can accommodate four and six people respectively and come with rugs, cushions, throws and lanterns. All options have a small hob, pots and pans, a barbecue and fire pit – oh, and there’s WiFi if you really need it, but we reckon you’ll be too blissed out to log on.

There's a really nice wash cabin with two wet rooms with underfloor heating, showers, toilets, hairdryers and even complimentary toiletries. The cabin is also home to a wash-up area with a couple of sinks, a freezer and local information. A well-equipped covered cooking area with a kettle, toaster and microwave is available for all guests. For rainy days, there’s a communal indoor space with leather sofas, a dining table and chairs, and books and games, and there's a convivial outdoor fire pit area for drier summer evenings.

What about the location? Well, in many ways, it couldn't be better, with the rolling countryside of Kent on your doorstep and lots of paths, lanes and byways to explore on foot or by bike if you don't want to get back in your car. Aylesford, just three miles away, is a picture-postcard-pretty village on the north-east bank of the Medway, close to which you will find the namesake megalithic site – two dolmen burial chambers, now run by English Heritage, that make for lovely walks and great views across the Medway Valley and Kent Downs.
