Lily Pad

Sorry, no dogs at any time of the year in the Lily Pad, as we have Alpacas in the adjoining fields.
Sleeps 2 adults
A unique rustic hut, a small and cosy space, simple but beautiful. Lily Pad is a great romantic hideaway for couples or peaceful hidden retreat for solo travellers.  It is both private and peaceful with its own private fenced garden.
​Lovingly handcrafted with a natural wood interior and a lovely covered veranda to sit and enjoy the views.  Bring a good book and truly switch off and relax.  A wood burner to keep you warm inside and a fire pit to cook outside.
It has a double bed, wood burner, fire pit with BBQ tripod grill and veranda with beautiful views across the pond over the fields. 

​New for 2020:
  • outdoor hot shower and wee shack
  • ​biodegradable 'Faith by Nature' toiletries
  • usb sockets
  • fairy lights inside and outside
  • dutch oven, frying pan, cutlery and plates
  • hammock

Flushing toilets are a short walk from the hut which are shared with other campers.  ​
Please note: You park in the campsite car park, then walk through the fields down some steps and across a tiny bridge to reach Lily Pad.  We are electricity free and do not have lighting on the campsite at night, so torches are essential.  Alpacas live in the adjoining field behind the hut and Pygmy goats may be grazing in the pond area close to the hut, but they are fenced out of the hut area.  Our friendly ducks may wander down to visit the pond for a swim and  they have been known to visit guests in the outdoor shower!
"We had a great time at the Lilypad. The campsite as a whole is beautifully looked after and easy to get around. The Lilypad hut is a little separate from the rest of the campsite, overlooking a Lilypad pond. The hut itself was simple, which is exactly what we wanted. The bed was big and comfy, and the little wood burner made the entire place warm in minutes. Recommend to anyone!"
