Description

An off grid Traveller's Caravan with a traditionally hand-painted interior, nestled deep in an arboretum within an esclusive estate sleeping up to 2 guests. 

Inside the deceptively spacious caravan there is seating, a dining table, log burner and cooking stove along with all of the kit needed for a self-catering glamping break. Enjoy the views of the forest from your bed whilst sipping your favorite morning cuppa and planning your day. Fairy lights and candles give the caravan a romantic feel whilst hot water bottles and extra logs keep it cosy. Please be aware though if booking at the start or end of the season that nights can get chilly so come prepared. 

The shower hut and compost toilet are only a short walk away. Alternatively start the day with a dip in one of the natural secluded pools nearby!

There is plenty to explore both in the arboretum and in the surrounding Shropshire hills, as well as historic sites such as Bishop's Castle being close enough to visit.

Dogs welcome. Closed in winter.
