Glamping with baby holiday help!

Is it possible to go glamping with a ten month old and a three year old? Baby sleeps well, three year old is fine once finally asleep. BUT can I get a glamp with more than one room / space so that me and OH don't have to sit in silence or go to bed at 7 with the children?
Having a stressful time back at work, want something very relaxing and fun. UK only as children don't have passports.
Doing my nut in as can't seem to find places with space for the travel cot - or we're all in one room. Help and suggestions please for food family glamping!

We did it with a baby, toddler and 5 year old in a bell tent. I think with glamping it is going to be all one room really as it’s just fancy camping. The pods and yurts etc we’ve been in are all the same.
For us we just let the kids stay up late (for them) and then when they went to sleep DH and I just sat outside the bell tent with the fire pit together.

We did it with a 2.5 year old and a 6 month old.
My main advice would be to get some serious warm bedding sorted out for baby - it is WAY colder at night in a tent than you think it'll be.
We did it in a bell tent. And you will have to sit outside next to a fire or something as I don't think there's another solution.

We did featherdown farms when ours were that age and there was a separate bedroom. Still nothing for DH and me to do in the dark with no electricity though so not like you can sit and watch a film.

Thank you! And would you recommend doing it? I'm wondering if the adventure is just what I need, or whether we should just wait a couple of years when the children will be a bit more sturdy and easier to put back to bed when woken!

Our kids loved it and inspired us to buy tent. Have been camping every year since. I prefer a holiday cottage but for the kids there’s something very special about camping.
