Tom White Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 Hello all, I will no longer be using my 2-person 'Ziggu camping' festihut. Details here: https://www.ziggucamping.co.uk/product/festihut-chalet-sleeps-up-to-4/ Location: They run a 24/7 shuttle service (which takes 3 mins) from their campsite which drops you near the Bronze gate - giving access to Pedestrian gate A. And unfortunately the T&Cs mean I can't get a refund. If anyone is still looking for accommodation and is interested in making me an offer please PM me. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waterfalls21234 Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 The prices people are willing to pay to go `glamping` rather then just stay on site always shock me.....you could literally go on an a decesnt overseas holiday for the money your shelling out to stay in what is essentially a shed with a bit of bedding in it....... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a look at their site a few months ago, they still have accomodation available, but it looks no better than Stick / WV, is further away and 5 times the price! I wonder if this is why the festival are introducing more options themselves, to protect people from this kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appreciate that completely - but I guess, likely many, we'd not really had a 'holiday' since pre-lockdown and thought we'd 'push the boat out' a bit.

We once had an apartment holiday in Kos that was a shed with a couple of beds! Garden apartment my arse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbrass Posted June 13, 2022 Report Share Posted June 13, 2022 How does Glamping compare to renting a motorhome for the Glasto week? I suspect it is cheaper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at that and found some better options than glamping, although still too expensive for me sadly. They start at around £70 a night. Can get a decent 4 berth with a toilet and shower for £100 a night. These tents on this site, unfurnished, start at £900 for 2 people for the festival's duration! https://www.goboony.co.uk/campers/united-kingdom/england/leicestershire/33306 Or how about this 6 berth, still available, for £93 per night https://www.goboony.co.uk/campers/united-kingdom/wales/gwynedd/32569?ends_at=2022-06-27&starts_at=2022-06-20 Edited June 13, 2022 by Alvoram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom White Posted June 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 Still very much open to offers on this. Otherwise it's literally going to go unused. Anyway, if anyone knows anyone who might be interested - let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irnkrtn Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 I am not personally in this tense bidding war, but I feel invested. Is there parking in with it? As a campervanner - yes you probably could rent a van for cheaper, but that's not necessarily a better option than this. You have to drive it there, great if its your van and you enjoy doing it but can be a bit hairy, plus this has extra facilities. If that's what people want to spend their money on to have a fun festival then fair play. It all also helps get more local buy in and support for the festival as local landowners can set up things like this that help them make a bit of money too.

But then again, it's half the price... And you get your own toilet and shower! I'd been driving a month before I was persuaded to drive a massive luton van full of band gear from Derbyshire to Weymouth and across to Jersey... Nothing has really phased me since then. Oh and btw, I'm not judging anybody who wants to do it, by all means it's up to them. I even looked myself before I scored a Sticklinch tent in the resale. I just found it to be too expensive, and not even close to what I personally think it's worth, considering what's on offer. WV / Sticklinch has pretty much everything they offer. But each to their own. If money was no issue, or they lowered the price a bit, I'd do it. 🙂 Edited June 16, 2022 by Alvoram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry bear Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I can’t get over the price of staying in a garden shed, offsite. I’m offsite too, in a beautiful little two bedroom cottage albeit a couple of miles further along the road. Cost me less than £450. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the motor homerental you need to collext it don't you? And you need a cv pass. Not everyone can do the former or managed the latter. @Tom Whitedoes that mean you're no longer able to go to the festival, or you're now doing something different instead?

(don't pay attention to those troublemakers in the Weather thread 😉) You do, (although collection is available,) and yes, but I don’t see how that makes a tent or shed in a field worth the kind of money these sites ask. 🤷🏻♂️ The real alternatives, and best comparisons to these sites, are WV and Sticklinch. It was somebody else suggesting that a campervan would be more expensive prompted the CV talk. Anyway… More to the point this particular offering has to be worth at least a few hundred to somebody, I’m surprised nobody is trying to grab a bargain and offering to take it off his hands for less yet. The ironic thing is, had I not been sorted, even I would of been willing to offer at least £600. 😕 Oh well, at least we can keep bumping it for him by debating the merits, and value, of these sites. 🙈😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 I have just seen the prices, but haven't looked at the small print. I mean, you do get to take the shed and beds home with you after, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
