The wooden walls still smell faintly of earth and old sacks, a reminder that this really was a working potato store before someone saw its promise as a place to sleep under the stars.

This is proper glamping territory — a small site with camping pods and a chalet, ideal for couples after a cosy bolt-hole or families wanting a roof overhead without losing that camping feel. Dogs are welcome by arrangement, so worth asking ahead if you're bringing yours. The setup suits anyone who loves the idea of outdoor living but draws the line at pegging out guy ropes in the rain.

Facilities aren't shouted about, so expect simplicity and a bit of self-sufficiency — the kind of place where you bring what you need and enjoy the quiet. Campfires are allowed but check the rules when you arrive, as it'll depend on conditions and where you're pitched. The vibe is low-key and unpretentious, the sort of spot where you switch off properly and remember why you came.
