Each tent is thoughtfully designed with comfortable furnishings, luxury mattress toppers, wool blankets and comes with its own private hot shower and compost toilet, ensuring a restful and secluded stay. Being off-grid doesn't mean going without, each tent has wi-fi, a bluetooth player and somewhere to charge your phone or laptop. Enjoy the freedom of cooking outdoors in your private gazebo kitchen-diner, which includes a wood-burning stove—perfect for alfresco meals. Or rest in your own 'Fatboy' hammock.
The ponds are there for you to swim in at all day-time hours. For an extra touch of indulgence, book a session in our off-grid spa with horse-box sauna.
