Kitchen

Everything to cook properly: a Smeg coffee machine, a Sage smart toaster, a boiling-water tap, hob, combination oven and fridge, plus every pan, plate and corkscrew you'll need.

Sloe's king-size bed with layered bedding in warm afternoon light

Bedroom

A separate bedroom with a king-size bed, layered bedding, soft lighting and doors that open towards your garden.

Sloe's shower bathroom with brass fittings, timber panelling and a window above the basin

Bathroom.

A shower, warm brass fittings, soft towels and toiletries we've chosen with care.

Water bubbling in Sloe's handcrafted copper spa bath on the private deck

Outside.

Your own garden, a private sauna and a handcrafted William & Holland copper spa bath. A morning sauna or a soak under the stars: the space is entirely yours.

WE'VE THOUGHT ABOUT IT.

Already here when you arrive.

  • The bed made up with fresh linen, plus bath and hand towels
  • Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap
  • Teapigs tea, organic coffee beans, sugar and fresh milk
  • Cooking oil, salt, pepper and a few spices
  • Logs for an evening in the sauna and by the wood burner
  • Fast WiFi, a smart TV and a DAB/Bluetooth radio
  • Air conditioning that heats and cools, and instant hot water
  • An iron and board
  • Eco washing-up liquid, unbleached cloths and bin bags

Good to know. Wherever we can, we've picked things that are kinder to you and to the place: organic, eco and unbleached.

Warm. Cool. Rest. Repeat.

Your sauna is heated by a traditional Finnish wood-burning stove. Light it when you get back and it's ready in 30 to 40 minutes. The copper spa bath fills in about half an hour, and it weathers naturally, so every bath gets its own patina. One rule we do keep: sauna first, wine after.

Arriving.

Self check-in from 4pm. Free parking on the gravel, 10 to 20 metres from the cabin, then three steps up to the deck.

We'll send directions, access details and your guest guide before you arrive.
