Forest Garden Shovelstrode: an eco retreat offering luxury glamping accommodation in traditional Yurts and rustic Log Cabins within an ancient woodland. A place to unwind and immerse yourself in nature.

Each Yurt and Cabin has a a twin gas ring cooker, a double bed with an additional double sofa bed. There's a toasty wood burner inside, and a BBQ, open fire pit and seating area outside for toasting marshmallows under the stars.

Each accommodation is between 50-80mtrs apart. The loos/showers/washing up area are located beside the carpark which is approx 70-180mtrs from any accommodation. Please see attached site map.

There are several craft courses on offer such as green woodworking or bee Keeping. Or a range of activities to choose from such as horse riding, cycling, willow weaving, horse-drawn carriage, yoga, or Shinrin-Yoku (forest bathing). Therapies and treatments including massage and reiki can also be arranged for guests either in their yurt/cabin, or outdoors in the magical woodland.

Charles and Lisa are passionate about the environment, self-sufficiency and reducing their carbon footprint. The centre-piece is the creation of a Forest Garden, an ecological system which uses the principles of permaculture to grow a variety of edible, plants within the 7 layers of the canopy. A wide variety of food is grown and is served at the Forest Garden Cafe. Lisa offers spectacular English Breakfasts and traditional Tea Parties!

Please enquire with any specific requests.

N.B. Important Information: We have had to implement a woodland management plan to start removing trees infected with ash dieback disease around the yurts and cabins. This will create glades around each accommodation that will feel more open and light than in the photographs shown.
