There is also a campers kitchen onsite with a fridge, tabletop oven, and microwave. This pod doesn’t have a source of heating so is only available from Easter to late summer. Next is The Shepherd’s Hut, cute and spacious and designed with couples in mind. The hut is furnished to create a nice, warm and homely feel, and comes with its own log burner to keep guests cosy, in addition to plenty of power sockets.

Tea and coffee facilities are also available in the hut and can be replenished daily at reception. The Bell Tent offers a glamping experience for families, including a double bed and two singles.

The lower deck is kitted out as a stylish open plan living area, which can double up as a bedroom, and fully-equipped kitchen, and a glass floor plate covers the engine which lights up and brings a new dimension at night. The driver’s seat and steering wheel remain, too, which provide a great photo opportunity. Then, upstairs there is a double bedroom, ideal for settling back and taking in panoramic views of the campsite and the sunset.
