Description
Snuggle up in Ruby, a lovingly restored gypsy caravan for up to 4 people, set within a private meadow in the stunning Somerset countryside.
Ruby sleeps 2 adults in a double bed & 2 children (1 in the underbunk and one on a mattress on the floor), with a vintage caravan available with space for an additional 3 people in a single & double bed.
Cooking is usually done outside on the campfire where wood and firelighters are provided. If preferred however you can cook in the vintage caravan with gas hob, oven, fridge, sink and heating. The private bathroom with hot shower is located in a shepherd's hut in the same meadow as Ruby.
Ruby has been lovingly restored and is nestled in the tranquillity of a wildflower meadow at the bottom of Lollover Hill, reputedly the entrance to the Fairy world. Sit quietly absorbing your surroundings and you may be lucky enough to spot a badger snuffling about or the resident Barn owl hunting in the field. Your only neighbours are sheep and Blacki & Tango, two much loved ponies. The peace of this place will flow into you.
Whilst here why not take a day trip and explore the beautiful Mendip Hills with its limestone hills, lakes of the Chew Valley, rocky outcrops and flowering grasslands as well as history aplenty.
If your party has more people the owner is very accommodating about bringing tents or providing a tent. Often families of 4 all snuggle up in the gypsy caravan together. Again, the owner is happy to provide extra mattresses and bedding.
Bed linen, utensils, cutlery and crockery are provided.
Children welcome.
1 well behaved dog is welcome at £10 per stay, the dog is not to sleep in the wagon, there are other places for the dog to comfortably sleep.
Available for short stays, weekends and long holidays. Single night stays permitted Sunday - Thursday. Minimum two night stay at weekends, 3 night minimum stay over bank holidays with Friday arrival.
Closed season October to March.
