Tiny Boat

Tiny Boat

‘Tiny Boat’ is small but perfectly formed, sleeping two with serene bedside views of water and wildlife.

Tucked away at a private mooring on our 7-acre lake. The setting is quite extraordinary – this lake is home to once-thought-extinct beavers, otters and more…If you’re lucky you could wake up to a flash of turquoise from our resident kingfishers or the sound of woodpeckers in the nearby woods.

Inside is a small kitchen and space to unwind. Outside is your private compost loo & shower, and a beautifully-located, private, lakeside deck area – which is especially wonderful at dawn and dusk.

The lake is suitable for wild swimming and you’re very welcome to take out our rowing boat or paddle board.

Back on land, you’re also welcome to explore our 173 acres of wild spaces, including ancient woodland, rewilded meadows, edible hedges, a lake suitable for wild swimming & an abundance of wildlife. It’s the perfect place to reconnect with nature.

Two Things to Bear in Mind About Tiny Boat!

1)  Tiny Boat really is named for her tiny-ness. She is beautiful and unique and cosy and wonderful and a favourite of returning guests. But, she might not be the best choice if you are tall or claustrophobic.

2) You’ll find yourself very close to the elements. This makes for a really immersive nature experience. But, severe weather will impact your stay.  If you’ve made a booking and the weather takes a turn for the worse, pls feel free to get in touch – we may be able to reschedule your stay or move you to one of our beautiful buildings.

Essentials are provided (eco-friendly toiletries*, towels, toilet paper, bed sheets, hairdryer).

We do not allow pets at Tiny Boat but we welcome up to 2 well-behaved dogs at Library Barn, Deer Cottage, and Rettig

*If you bring your own products they must be natural/organic to protect our lake and wildlife.
