Our Coppice Woodland glamping site is a collection of intertwined ‘rooms’. We let the site to one family or couple at a time so our unique glamping site offers exclusive use of our native two acre woodland. The romantic woodland site offers bathing under the stars in the indulgent wood fired hot tub. This is a great family event or something special just for two.

**Sleeping Arrangements**

A renovated 1973 VW camper van with a permanent full sized double bed at one end and a small children’s (up to about aged 6) bed at the other end (where the driver and passenger seats used to be)

A woodsman’s yurt with king size bed to sleep two or use as a living area.

**Bathroom**

a genuinely beautiful twin vault dry compost toilet (really!) and ‘bathroom’ (wood fired hot tub and solar shower).

**Useful things to know**

There is no power at the glampsite. There are solar lamps and solar fairy lights and torches. There are plugs in the potting shed a short walk away if you need to charge any devices during your stay.

   The glampsite is unheated, so please bring appropriate clothing, hot water bottles and extra duvets or sleeping bags during the winter months!
