About the Accommodation

Gloria' is a 7.5 tonne horsebox repurposed into a cosy comfy accommodation. Self sufficient in power via solar, converted using almost nothing but recycled materials 'wombled' from skips, recycling plants, and from what existed inside already, re-used in another capacity. As seen on series 2, ep4 George Clarke's Amazing Spaces on Channel 4. 

 Inside you will find 2 really comfy double beds, one above the cab with a porthole for looking at the tree tops, and one that is a sofa bed for chilling on during the day with a view straight out the back ramp when it's open. Sitting in bed in the morning with that ramp open is one of the most wonderful things. There is a small basic kitchen with gas hob and a fridge with small freezer.. And a dining table. A stereo with speakers both sides and she is fully insulated. 

 Phone charging points. Gloria is a great option for those that aren't that keen on camping or tents, she's a unique cosy home from home. Warm, dry and lots of fun to stay in.

Gloria sleeps 4 comfortably but a cot bed can be added for an extra child at no extra cost. Basic provisions will be provided so you don’t have to lug all of that with you. This means things like olive oil, salt and pepper, basic herbs and spices and some herbal and builders teas bags.

‘Molly’ is a 5m bell tent with a full size double bed with a memory foam so no sleeping on that he floor, and 2 singles. Lit and warmed by a candle chandelier and fairy lights. Romantic and dreamy.

'Moira' is more contemporary 5m bell tent, with an incredibly comfortable double futon and 2 singles. The sides can be lifted in hot weather to let the breeze in. There is plenty of room to add an extra single bed if need be.

'Felix' is another 5m bell tent This tent can be configured however you request fitting up to 6 singles. . I have one child's 'easy bed' blow up mattress and sleeping bag. A travel cot can be arranged.

A horse trailer 'Lulu' has been converted into an off grid solar powered shower with an extra compost loo and spectacular view. 'Heidi' is an eco long drop compost toilet nestled under, and feeding an ancient oak.

"Mick" will give you shelter! A 5x6m stretch tent is a new addition (pictures to follow) to allow shade or shelter, ideal for yoga retreats or discos. So numbers are from a minimum of 12 and comfortably up to 26, min 16 at weekends and high season (see little wildlings for smaller bookings)

("Little Wildlings" listed separate for 6/8 a small camp with Jeanie for 2/3 and 5m bell tent)

Amenities

Notes

I endeavour to be as gentle on the environment there as possible. I have a stringent "leave no trace" motto. Therefore to ensure no nasty chemicals are going into the ground I will provide locally made 100% natural cleaning and showering products for your use whilst on site. (Not necessary for the pool)

Among other things the bedding is organic approved and I'm using an ethical green insurance company and totally green cleaning products and washing powders.

A fire pit is provided and a basket of local sourced logs on arrival will be free and more can be ordered for £9 per load. These will need to be ordered in advance.

There are 2 BBQs. One gas for meat, one for vegetarian.

I can arrange for a company called Leaf and Ladle (look them up on IG) to deliver to site pre ordered vegan/vegetarian meals made with entirely organic ingredients, all the vegetables being grown themselves at Hankham Organics. Hearty happy nutritional meals that are feast for the eyes and incredibly good for you. Food is delivered in cardboard food boxes and trays, an array of salads and dips, one main dish ie a curry or tagine that can be heated up on the fire and served in the pots provided. No cooking or washing up necessary. A wonderfully nourishing add on.

I also have 2 inflatable paddle boards for use on the nearby river or down at the sea, that I can rent out for £20 per board per booking. [To be used at your own risk)
