OUR STORY

For years, Paul and Cat had dreamed of creating a space on the farm where they could immerse themselves in wildlife, peace, and tranquillity. What began as a passing idea slowly grew into something more, as they found themselves spending countless evenings researching everything from tiny houses to bell tents, glamping pods, and yurts.
 

They already knew the perfect spot. A spinney — a small wooded area nestled between fields — had sat quietly on the farm for years, largely untouched and left to its own rhythm. They would wander down there from time to time, simply to enjoy the stillness. Inside the spinney, it felt as though you were deep in a forest, cocooned from the world, with views stretching out across the fields and towards the sunset.

With the location chosen, the search for the right structure began in earnest. Then one day, Cat stumbled across a 10‑metre yurt for sale online. It was far bigger than anything they had imagined, but curiosity got the better of them — and the moment they saw it, they were smitten. There was no going back to bell tents or pods. They had to have it.
 

What followed was a whirlwind: emptying bank accounts, renting vans, calling in favours from friends and family, cancelling a holiday, and a lot of hard graft — all accompanied by the recurring thought, “What on earth are we doing?” But after four intense days, the yurt was fully dismantled, transported, and safely brought home to the farm.
 

Now they had an overgrown patch of woodland, the world’s biggest flat‑pack kit (with absolutely no instructions), and precisely zero money left to turn it into something magical.

Time to roll up their sleeves and learn along the way.

From that moment to where they are today has taken two solid years of passion, perseverance, and more than a little blood, sweat, and tears. Their vision was to create an off‑grid, eco‑friendly retreat that blended seamlessly with its surroundings. They upcycled materials, taught themselves woodworking, plumbing, and a whole host of new skills, and worked tirelessly to bring the space to life. Undergrowth was cleared, timber was reclaimed, and slowly but surely, their dream of a woodland oasis took shape.
 

And now — it stands as a testament to their determination, creativity, and love for the land.
