Digital Detox Challenge – Could You Go Screen Free?

Escape the digital world and embrace the tranquillity of rural Bedfordshire with the Digital Detox Challenge at The Meadows at Polehanger. Our luxury glamping experience invites you to unplug, unwind, and rediscover the simple pleasures of life—without the constant distraction of screens.

The digital detox challenge is exactly as it sounds; we invite you to put your phones and screens aside for the duration of your stay. It’s a chance to break free from digital demands and reconnect with yourself, your loved ones, and nature.

You can tailor your digital detox to best suit your needs. Choose from a two-night weekend break, a three-night midweek stay, or go all in with a full week from Monday to Friday for the ultimate reset. If you’re unsure about going screen-free for too long, there’s also a one-night midweek option.

Pick the length of stay that fits you, your family or friends, whether you want a brief escape or a complete digital break.

Absolutely! Upon arrival, you’ll be asked to lock away your phones and other devices in your cabin’s dedicated digital detox box. For your peace of mind, only the lead booker will have access to the box during your stay, solely for emergencies.

Once you’ve switched off your devices, you’ll discover there’s plenty to do. Our contemporary luxury cabins feature comfy beds, soft linens, private gardens with decking, outdoor seating, fire-pits and picture windows with  views across the fields. Three of the cabins feature luxurious wood-fired hot tubs for complete relaxation and stargazing plus there’s open countryside galore.

Nestled in the meadows of Polehanger Farm, less than an hour from London, The Meadows at Polehanger is surrounded by open fields offering 7km of footpaths to explore, including the Polehanger River Woodland right on your doorstep.

Enjoy fresh air walks, lose track of time, and reconnect with the great outdoors. To round off your adventures, we provide recommendations for local eateries in each cabin, so you can enjoy a hearty meal nearby.

Rekindle your love for classic board games and spend quality time with family or friends. Our reading nook is stocked with a selection of games, perfect for creating special memories and laughter away from screens.

Treat yourself with our range of add-on packages, from pamper sessions and in-cabin massages, delicious grazing boards from Bite-Around-The-World and Bountiful Table, to a delicious breakfast box, barbeque box, or hot chocolate box to be ready in your cabin on arrival. Simply select your extras from the Little Extras page when booking, and we’ll handle the rest.

Whether you join us for a single night or extend your stay to a full week, you’ll find our tranquil surroundings, thoughtful comforts, and encouragement to unplug are the perfect antidote to the fast pace of modern life.

Our digital detox is a unique opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and truly savour the restorative power of nature – leaving you refreshed, revitalised, and perhaps inspired to keep a little of that digital-free serenity in your daily life.
