Bell Tents
Colonel Hathi

Yurts
Mufassa
Sleeps 1-4 people
This dwelling is positioned at the far end of the site. If you are keen to enjoy your own company and have a little more privacy, whilst listening to the brook meander past, then this is the best choice. On the downside – it is the furthest from the kitchen, loos and showers!
Mowgli
Sleeps 1-4 people
This 16ft traditionally crafted yurt has been beautifully handmade by a lovely chap from Somerset who has been building these structures for years. The olive colour of the canvas makes it blend in beautifully to its surroundings in the meadow and the interior will take your breath away. The skylight allows you to truly fall asleep under the stars and the interior is identical to Mufassa above.
Apart from the double bed, there is room for two single mattresses if you wish to bring the kids. It is positioned in the very centre of the site, a short distance from the kitchen, loos, and showers.
Unique Accommodation
The Shepherd's Hut
Sleeps 1-2 people
The Shepherd’s Hut was bought by our great grandfather about sixty years ago and until last summer has sat looking rather sad in an incredibly decrepit state. It has the least space of all our accommodation but is certainly the snuggest with its own little wood burner. It sits in the far right corner of the meadow under an oak tree with a woven grape vine heart hanging beneath it. The loos and showers can be seen across the meadow a short walk away.
The Grain Silo
Sleeps 1-2 people
The Grain Silo is our most romantic getaway, tucked away in the woods at the back of the site. Once upon a time, this structure was used to store grain on the farm following the annual harvest in August. The Silo offers a double bed, bedside tables, furnishings, drapes and throws, rug, lighting, mirror. It too has a skylight allowing you to fall asleep under the stars.
