We have gradually been transforming our stunning 15-acre site in recent years, having launched the Lodge and on site craft brewery operations last year our focus is now on getting Batsford Hollow (an expanded off grid retreat space) ready for visitors in summer 2021 by creating additional facilities such as;  several natural shelters including the burrow (an underground cob built shelter with tile vaulted roof), compost loo block as well as innovative water and heating systems (for showers & to heat shelters).
