Extra features

Dogs on furniture
Dogs are warmly welcomed at the property and are truly treated as part of the family. The hosts understand that a holiday isn’t complete unless every member of the household is included. Doggy guests can relax and feel at home and are more than welcome on the furniture and even on the beds. Soft, washable blankets are provided to help keep everything clean and cosy, so guests can enjoy cuddles on the sofa after a long walk.

Wildlife Watching
This is a perfect spot for wildlife lovers, with sightings of hares, barn owls, deer, and more right from the doorstep. Whether it’s a quiet early morning or a peaceful evening, nature is always close by. A handy pair of binoculars is available for guests to make the most of the view, along with a compass and local trail maps to help guide outdoor adventures and wildlife walks. An ideal setting for those who enjoy slowing down and soaking in the sights and sounds of the natural world.

Off Grid Escape
This off-grid cabin offers a true escape from the hustle and bustle, powered entirely by its own solar energy and gas supply. Guests are gently encouraged to switch off, slow down, and embrace the opportunity to go offline. With no Wi-Fi and USB-only charging points, it’s the perfect place to unplug and reconnect with nature and enjoy some uninterrupted peace and quiet. Guests are invited to bring a good book, make the most of the board games or watercolours provided, and savour the rare chance to truly unwind in a serene setting.

Nestled in 17 Acres
The cabin sits nestled within 17 acres of its own private land, offering complete seclusion and a deep sense of peace. Nothing else shares the space except an old barn - now home to a family of barn owls, and the abundant wildlife and wildflowers that thrive among the trees and meadow grasses.

Guests can wander freely through its mown pathways, where nature sets the pace and every corner reveals something quietly beautiful. It’s a place where the outside world feels a million miles away.

Things to note

Wildlife 
This accommodation is surrounded by abundant wildlife, with wild deer, hares, barn owls, and pheasants frequently making their home in the surrounding acreage. Guests may be lucky enough to spot these animals during their stay if you are quiet. Dogs with a strong prey drive may find this a struggle.

Fenceing
The surrounding space is enclosed with fencing originally designed for cattle, combining traditional stone walling and stock fencing. While the area is generally secure for larger dogs, some sections of the wall are lower, and gaps have been filled with various fencing types. As a result, the fencing is mixed in style and coverage. Although it's enclosed well enough for most larger dogs with no desire to escape, smaller dogs or determined escape artists may find a way through, under, or over if they’re inclined to explore. That said, dogs who are not prone to wandering will likely find the space secure enough and can be trusted to potter about carefree.

Escape the ordinary and immerse yourself in nature at this beautifully crafted off-grid cabin, nestled within 17 acres of stock-fenced rolling farmland. Perfectly positioned to take in uninterrupted views of the surrounding countryside and woods, this off-grid haven is ideal for couples, solo adventurers, and it's dog-friendly and particularly perfect for those with anxious or reactive dogs. The host herself has experience with reactive and anxious dogs, which I think always makes you feel a little more at ease.

This off-grid cabin offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the noise of daily life and reconnect with nature. Set within 17 acres of its own private, stock-fenced farmland, the cabin is surrounded by gently rolling hills, wild grasses, and a rich patchwork of woodland - it's a secluded sanctuary where peace and privacy are guaranteed.

The cabin itself is beautifully designed with both sustainability and comfort in mind. Built from natural materials and elevated slightly above the land, it feels as if it's floating above the landscape. Large floor-to-ceiling windows frame uninterrupted views of the surrounding meadows and forests, inviting the outdoors in and flooding the interior with natural light throughout the day. A spacious wooden deck wraps around the front, providing the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee and listen to birdsong. Both rocking chairs and a swinging chair await, offering a peaceful place to sit and watch the sun slip behind the hills.

Though the cabin is entirely off-grid, it doesn’t ask you to compromise. Inside, you’ll find a space that’s simple, warm, and well thought out - perfect for solo travellers seeking solitude or couples craving reconnection. Sleeping up to two, the cabin offers a cosy, open-plan layout with everything you need and nothing you don’t. A wood-burning stove keeps things toasty, and solar power provides just enough electricity to charge your phone or tablet via USB, but not much more, encouraging you to truly switch off.

There’s no TV or Wi-Fi, and absolutely no pressure to stay connected. Instead, this is a space that invites you to slow down. Bring that book you’ve been meaning to read, dip into the watercolours and sketchpads provided. Time passes gently here, and the outside world fades into the distance.

Dogs are more than welcome, too. With throws provided, they’re free to curl up beside you on the furniture or even share the bed, making this an ideal retreat for those anxious and reactive dogs. Step outside, and the freedom continues with 17 acres of open, stock-fenced farmland that are yours to roam.
