  • What an amazing experience full of calm and peace. You've created such a beautiful space. I am leaving here fully 're-charged' and 're-energised'. I cannot wait to come back and do it all over again.

    Obi Vincent - June 2024

  • Wow! Wow! Wow! What an unbelievable space you have created. The attention to detail is incredible. The setting is stunning. What a beautiful concept. An unforgettable weekend made so special by your beautiful space. Will be recommending to everyone.

    Daisy & Ryan - June 2024

  • Thank you for sharing your wonderful cabin with the world. So close to the noise of our everyday but removed enough from everything to pause and enjoy the sun and noise of the birds & switch off, enjoying the simple pleasures of time together (and lots of cooking). Will definitely be back.

    Mathew & Mason - May 2024

  • Part of the Re experience is encouraging you to disconnect from your devices, as such we do not provide wifi in the cabin. However, our cabin is well connected to most mobile networks, and has strong 4G signal. You won’t feel disconnected from the digital world, unless you want to be.

  • There is off-road parking, within a padlocked entrance to the meadow. We request that you keep the gates locked at all times. You’ll be provided with the lock combination to let yourselves in and out ahead of your arrival.

    Please do not drive your car across the field. In wet weather this area may become muddy, so we advise you to drive straight in, and reverse back out to the road (only about 5 metres from the road). The area immediately within the entrance has a hard core underneath the grass, so it is suitable for vehicles. No turning is allowed in this area.

  • We do a selection of food and drink which is available to purchase at point of booking.

    We've worked with our local organic farm shop to provide meat and veggie breakfast hampers, granola packs and a selection of light snacks and soft drinks. One week's notice is required for the breakfast hampers.

    These will be waiting in the fridge for you on arrival - so you don't need to think about food supplies.

  • Extra firewood and a selection of wine is available for you to purchase through a pre-approved amount charged to your card at booking. Prices for these will be made available to you in the cabin or in your welcome email. If you do not use any of these items, you will not have a charge on your card at the end of your stay.

    There is a Tesco express within a 5 minute drive, or a 25 minute walk for anything you need urgently.

    If you need assistance sourcing any items, please get in touch and we’ll see what we can do!

  • If you need to cancel your booking you may do so. Depending on the notice given for your cancellation, some of the booking fee may be refundable to you.

    If you cancel your booking four or more weeks before your booking, 100% of the booking fee will be refunded to you, minus payment platform fees.

    If you cancel with between one and four weeks before your booking then we can either refund you 50%, or try and find another date that works for you to reschedule. Please reach out to us if you would like us to find you new availability.

    If you cancel within one week of your booking, no refund will be available.

    Any refunds will incur a deduction of the Stripe booking fees for your reservation.

  • We ask that you notify us as soon as this happens on the support number provided to you at time of booking.

    Small accidents happen, and we don’t want to penalise you for enjoying yourself. However, as a small independent company we have to cover these costs. We hope you’ll take care of our little cabin and the surrounding land. However in the case of damage we will request payment to cover these damages after your stay.

    This also applies to anything you might accidentally remove from the cabin that we have provided. Be careful to check your bags before you leave to make sure you haven’t taken any charging cables, water bottles or books etc. by accident!

  • We have carefully chosen this location so that it is private, and gives you the privacy you need to relax in peace. However, you are not very far from nearby residents, including our local support team. Nobody except you will access the meadow during your stay, however they are nearby in case you need them.

    The 8 acre meadow itself has a locked gate, with the combination code changing between stays. The cabin is secured by a locking front door and internally locking windows. The key to the cabin is housed in an external lock box that only you and us have the code for. The meadow itself is located in a very peaceful area of the countryside. We know some people might feel uncomfortable being too remote, however this location is a nice combination of privacy and proximity to nearby neighbours.

    The private landowner whose land you are staying in, lives next door and is on hand for any emergencies. However, you shouldn’t bump into them unless you reach out to them. Details on how to find them will be provided in the cabin.

  • The cabin sleeps two adults comfortably. However, there is no room for additional overnight guests beyond this. You are not allowed to invite anyone else to pitch a tent and camp alongside you.

    We do appreciate that the meadow is a really nice place to be, and you might want to invite friends to join you for lunch or dinner. We have no problem with day guests (a maximum of 4) picnicking or enjoying a BBQ with you, so long as you enjoy the land quietly and tidily and don’t disturb your neighbours. All additional guests need to have vacated the property by 10pm, and are not allowed to stay overnight.

    Anyone that does not comply with the above rules, will be required to vacate the premises without a refund given for any portion of their stay.

  • Bring whatever you need to feel cosy. We operate a no shoe policy within the cabin, but you’re welcome to bring thick socks or slippers! We provide hot water bottles to keep you warm on extra cold days, but the wood burning stove should keep you warm.

    You may want to consider your footwear, depending on the time of year of your stay. Wellies or hiking boots are recommended during the wetter months. So is a waterproof jacket! You may want to bring a tote bag or rucksack for any outdoor adventures you’re planning.

    As an eco-conscious brand, we recommend that you bring your own reusable water bottle, however there is one provided in the cabin for the duration of your stay in case you forget.

    We provide body wash, shampoo, conditioner, body moisturiser and hand soap, so no need to bring these with you.

    A general tip is to pack light. There isn’t loads of room in the cabin, so bear that in mind whilst you’re packing. We’ve tried to include enough within the cabin already, so that you won’t need much more than your clothes, a good book, your journal and yourself. There is room underneath the benches for your bags.

    We have an outdoor boot rack for any wellies or boots, and space inside to keep your trainers warm.

  • Our cabin is powered by solar power and we have a number of batteries which means you shouldn’t run out of power during your stay. Feel free to charge your devices, dry your hair without worry.

    Even during the winter months we have never run out of power. However, there is a backup generator if for some reason this does happen.

    Our maintenance crew will check the battery level before your arrival. If it’s been bad weather then the batteries may need topping up with the backup generator. Our crew will do this for you before you arrive. If you find that you haven’t got power, please text the support phone number provided to you. This shouldn’t happen, but we cannot guarantee it.

  • Yes, the water is perfectly safe to drink. It is the same tap water in your home.

    It can be challenging to get water to remote places, so we recommend conserving your water usage where possible. A 3-minute shower uses 7.5 gallons of water. You won't ever run out of water during your stay, but as an eco-conscious brand, we ask you to consider your usage.

  • Our bathroom has a sink, shower and a waterless toilet. Not your icky composting toilet, but not your usual flushable toilet. Open the toilet lid on the and you’ll find that the the solids area remains covered from view with a clever, automatic concealing screen (it opens as you sit down and closes as you stand up)
