At ‘The Bivouac’  accommodation is rustic, rugged, warm, characterful and sensitive to woodland and natural surroundings; inspired by the sheep sheering shacks of New Zealand and the woodland shelters of ancient Britain. it is luxurious, with attention to detail, warm and comfortable and above all – simple.

Our guests can retreat, enjoy quiet reflection and snuggle down with a good book or engage in activities that are active, unusual and creative. We’re passionate about adventure sports, with offerings to suit all abilities.
