Inside, the interior is almost completely wood – adorned with cute features in every corner. There are books, board games, a cassette player and you’re even given an Instax camera with 10 free films to use for your stay (meaning you don’t miss out on any Instagramable moments, whilst being offline).
Everything is powered by solar, meaning there’s an actual shower with good water pressure, which sets it apart from your standard camping trips. There’s an outside and inside fire, too, meaning we were able to make the cabin feel cozy despite this very cold and wet ‘summer’ we are currently experiencing.
Of course, they also provide a small wooden box with a padlock and key to lock your phone away. They provide you with the key in a sealed envelope so if you want to unlock it, you can, and also an old school Nokia phone for emergencies.

What we got up to…
On our first evening, full of holiday-giddiness, we simply lit a fire and made some dinner. We read, and chatted, and enjoyed the novelty of complete silence around us. Not seeing a house or humans in our eye-line felt liberating, and like we were the only two people existing in that moment.
Our second day was a rainy one, which only added to the cozy comfort. I read an entire book, and drank four pots of tea. In the evening, when the rain slowed, we used the maps provided and headed into the nearby village for some pub grub. We walked back, and lit a fire in the cabin and played many, many rounds of Monopoly Deal.
By the third day, my phantom limb reaching for my phone had all but gone. I didn’t miss it at all, and wanted to savour and extend the trip. We played more monopoly deal, went on a long walk, found a local tea room, before settling in to a night of star gazing, eating pesto pasta and having a few glasses of red wine.
