The smell of warm pine panelling and the quiet creak of timber underfoot — this is off-grid cosiness with a roof over your head, tucked away in surroundings where you'll actually want to switch off.
The Carthouse offers camping pods and chalets for anyone chasing proper downtime without a tent peg in sight. WiFi's available if you need it, but the real draw is the slower pace. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking when you book if you're bringing yours along. It's the kind of place that suits couples after a woodland bolt-hole, small families wanting their own space, or friends splitting a chalet for a weekend escape.
Inside you'll find simple, snug accommodation — think function over frills, but comfortable all the same. Campfires may be allowed depending on conditions, so check when you arrive if you're planning to toast marshmallows. The vibe is quiet and unhurried, ideal if your idea of a good trip involves more reading and walking than timetables and crowds.
