The tipi is a magnificent structure and provides surprisingly spacious accommodation for four people. It's absolutely wonderful for a romantic break away from it all! There's nothing quite like a central fire at night with lanterns flickering to create a warm, snug and friendly atmosphere, far from the pressures of the world.

We have a chimnea in the centre of the tipi which has a circular mesh so that the fire is visible from all angles, with a funnel which takes the smoke up and out of the smoke flaps at the top of the tipi. The tipi is furnished with four wooden bed bases, covered with comfortable mattresses, pillows and throws, together with large cushions. There is a storage trunk full of extra blankets, a low table and a second storage trunk which contains all your cooking equipment – pans, frying pan, plates, mugs and cutlery. The dry gravel floor is covered with matting and sheepskins. We supply firelighters and a good supply of chopped, dry and seasoned hardwood in a basket. Two baskets of firewood a day are available free of charge, but if you use more than this there is a small charge of £3 per basket.

We will give you guidance when you arrive on the use of the fire, cover all health and safety issues and show you how to use the smoke flaps. We are almost always available and are only too willing to give assistance if any is required.
