Glastonbury glamping site charges £24k for tents with beds and swimming pool
Glastonbury Festival kicks off this week, and while that means heaps of amazing music and partying, for many campers it also means a week of questionable hygiene and a lack of sleep.
However, one glamping site is offering revellers some respite with large tents complete with full size beds, showers, private toilets and access to spa treatments - but you could end up forking out up to £24k for a stay.
The Pop-Up Hotel, a luxury glamping company, has set up shop near Worthy Farm.
Described as an "unforgettable experience", customers can choose from several different yurts, suites, huts and railway carriages to relax in after a long day at the festival.
A classic room, suitable for up to four people, is a "British built quality canvas 4.5 to 5m bell tent furnished with mattress, bedding and lighting".

The yurts come with proper beds (Tom Wren SWNS)Their most premium accommodation, the 'Principle Suite', is a "perfectly designed multi room en-suite option" for up to eight people - but will set you back £23,999.
For those looking for a more romantic luxury stay, the 'Safari Suite' - which costs £11,999 - consists of a safari tent with an en-suite shower room and toilet, covered porch and "great furnishing".
While on-site, guests can enjoy a boutique spa decked out with wood fired hot tubs, pools and saunas.
They also have access to massages, reflexology, hair and beauty treatments and fitness classes.
There's also onsite restaurants and bars to ensure guests never have to wonder where their next festival bite is coming from.
The Pop-Up Hotel is just a ten minute walk from the Glastonbury festival site - making it the "perfect base to enjoy the festival in comfort and away from the heaving crowds".
The site has a pool and deck-chairs (Tom Wren SWNS)For those who don't have a casual £24k to spend on a glamping holiday, one Glastonbury-obsessed fan has revealed his top tricks for getting the most out of the festival, including the loos and camping spots you may want to avoid.
Dan Thomas has been to the festival every year since 2002, so he's become quite the insider expert.
When it comes to camping, he advised arriving as early as possible on Wednesday morning to get a good camping spot.
This means not setting up your tent "at the bottom of a hill, near a path or next to the toilets."

There are various yurts you can hire (Tom Wren SWNS)As for showers?
He told the Mirror: "I personally think having a shower is one the best ways you can start your day," Dan, from London. If you've had a long tiring day as you will at Glastonbury it makes you feel like a million dollars.
"There are six ways to get a shower there. There's a single gender free communal shower and free cubicle showers in the kids field.
"If you're in a glamping site they will have them, but if you're not shy there's a naked sauna and campfire on site which you can pay £15 to go into and they have showers.
"Other options are using a solar powered shower or a rechargeable USB pump shower or you can effectively sponge bath with a large Tupperware box."
