The creak of floorboards in an old guesthouse, the scent of toast drifting upstairs, the quiet of a proper bed after days under canvas — this is The Elms, a year-round bolthole that straddles the line between traditional B&B and camping escape.
It suits campers who want options: pitch up in one of the camping pods when the weather's kind, or retreat indoors to a proper guest room when the skies open. Families hedging their bets, couples doing a mixed tour, or anyone who fancies a roof overhead without losing that camping-trip feeling will find it fits the bill. Dog owners should ask ahead — policies vary depending on the room or pod you're after.
Facilities aren't spelled out in detail, so it's worth ringing to confirm what's onsite and what you'll need to bring if you're podding it. Campfires are a maybe — check when you arrive rather than assume. The vibe leans toward low-key hospitality: fewer rules than a campsite, more flexibility than a hotel, and the reassurance of four walls when you need them.
