The Health Benefits of Taking a Holiday in a Luxury Shepherds Hut in West Sussex

It’s a sad reflection on modern working life in the UK that research shows that the majority of us have some unused holiday at the end of most years. So the thought of even a short glamping break in a luxury shepherds hut in West Sussex has real appeal to many people coping with the hustle and bustle of urban life in major cities like London.  And it’s even more important to take the chance to take time off when you see the evidence of how not taking a holiday can upset your physical as well as your mental health.  Here are some of the major health benefits of taking that country break. 


Relieving Stress

Stress can be a great motivator, helping people get through the work when they’re under pressure, but maintaining levels of stress over extended periods has serious detrimental effects.  Experts have shown that 80% of workers overly stressed for at least part of their working lives, and 70% of referrals to the doctor are attributed to stress-related conditions.  Holidays in the country are recognised as a great antidote and quickly reduce stress levels, keeping an individuals’ good health intact and preventing the dreaded burnout.

Improving Creativity

Taking it easy in the rural areas in West Sussex, especially the South Downs and along the coast around Chichester, allows the mind to relax and creative thoughts to flow more freely.  So a holiday, especially glamping in a luxury shepherds hut really boosts creativity, the change of pace allowing people to view the everyday world in a fresh way.   When people get to enjoy this clarity, clearer thinking and increased creatively result from disconnecting from the work environment for a while.

Too much time at the office, no matter if it’s because you have to or you really enjoy it and actually want to, can leave you feeling tired and run-down. Getting away from it all with a glamping stay in the Sussex countryside around Chichester can be the perfect anti-dote and a real chance to re-charge your batteries.  The calming environment of somewhere like a luxury shepherds hut, however, can put you back on an even keel and prevent outbursts or “did I really say that to my colleague?” moments.


Improve Confidence

Much researcher has shown that it is normal for people to return from a country holiday with a renewed sense of self. They feel refreshed, and thereafter tend to approach life and work with more vigour, and with a tendency to projects tackle with gusto rather than just settling for an easy approach.

Improves Clarity

It’s a simple physical reality that the human body requires downtime.  Not allowing for this over a period of time results in the individual quite literally running down, so when people ignore the human natural cycle of alertness and fatigue (which come in 90 minute periods), they’re not allowing for the body’s fundamental need to reboot.   While short breaks are good, longer getaways allow a person to fully recharge, which in turn improves mental alertness and the ability to think clearly.

Holds Off Low Moods

Continued exposure to deadlines and high-pressure environments results in stress, which can really dampen an individuals’ mood.   Removing yourself from this environment with a country holiday can reverse irritable, depressed or anxiety-ridden moods to ones that reflect a more calm and relaxed outlook.

Reduce Coughs and Colds

It may seem like an old-wives tale, but getting away for a few days really does help keep your body healthy.   Medical research has proven that continual, or chronic, stress can seriously depress the immune system and compromise bodily function.  In the most severe circumstances, even the genetic material of our cells can become disrupted when placed under too much stress.

Improve Bonds & Relationships

Time spent with a partner and family in the relaxing environment experienced during a country break in Sussex and Chichester allows you to bond in ways that are far more important than the usual “how was your day?” discussions. Experts have discovered that time together during a holiday builds personal bonds and increases family integration.

Save the Company Money

It’s often overlooked that staying healthy and in a better frame of mind by taking time off work is in fact a good way to improve company’s bottom line. It’s a simple fact that over-stressed employees can end up being off work for long periods as a result of the physical and mental health problems that resulted from too much time on the job. So that stay in a luxury shepherds hit can make all the difference.

Finding Inspiration

Blue sky thinking is something of a modern jargon favourite, but it quite literally does work.  A countryside break, or time spent on the beach under a bright blue sky frees the mind of the usual clutter and allows time for free thinking.  Under these conditions inspiration will often just emerge and the best ideas appear.

So taking time away from the usual routine doesn’t need to involve the expense of a trip to Vegas or 4 star luxury in London.  Simply taking a few days out in the simple comforts of a luxury shepherds  hut, where you soak up the peace and quiet of a rural setting, can be just what the doctor ordered.
