A note from the site themselves...

The farm and derelict farmhouse was bought in 2017 and the years since then have been spent renovating buildings and taking the land back from the brambles and nettles that swamped the fields.

The pod field has a unique atmosphere and the vision to build pods and share the setting with others is one that has now been reached . It is fantastic that people seem to enjoy the setting as much as we do.
