Internally, there is a fully stocked galley kitchen with an induction hob, fridge and microwave. The banquette seating converts into a king-sized bed with a memory foam mattress. In the seat boxes, you will find a multitude of games to keep the whole family entertained, from snakes and ladders, jigsaw puzzles, guess who and Twister. There is a bookshelf with a selection of outdoor-inspired books, including a camping cookbook, a hanging rail for those special items, and hooks to hang wet items after that long walk in the countryside. To keep you warm at night, there is a wood burner as well as a wall-hung oil-filled radiator.
The Emperor Bell Tent and 5 Meter Bell Tent consist of a king-sized bed with a luxury hybrid mattress and 2x memory foam single mattresses. There is atmospheric lighting and sari bunting and Coir floor matting.
All beds are set up with Egyptian cotton white linen, electric blankets and plenty of blankets to keep you warm at night.
Each guest is provided with a soft white Large Bath Towel.
The bathroom is in a separate Shepherds hut, which has a walk-in wet-room shower, Belfast sink, Natural Elm countertop, and most importantly, hot running water on demand! The bathroom hut is also decorated with a gold ceiling, wooden floorboards, and pampas grass to create a tranquil setting you won't want to leave.

The piece de resistance of the site is the Deluxe Wood-fired Hot Tub with hydro massage bubbles, jets, and LED lighting. Once in, you really will never want to get out!
In the woods, we have a designated fire pit area with seating around the outside, a slack line, and a cargo net hammock between the trees, with large outdoor beanbags.
The site is bordered by a string of festive LED Festoon lighting. These really create a fun festival feel and create a great ambience at night.
