At Bivouac we offer our guests a unique holiday experience - luxurious rustic shacks, romantic yurts or a cosy bunkbed in our camping barn - and welcome walkers and daytrippers to share our breathtaking views, tuck into our delicious cafe food and visit our converted farmhouse shop. We are recruiting dedicated, friendly people for a number positions. We would love to hear from you if you think you have what it takes to join us.

Cafe Staff
We need experienced cafe staff to join our expanding front of house team. We have part-time, full-time and bank positions available. You will need to be self-motivated, enthusiastic, always ready with a warm welcome and available to work some weekends and evenings.

Change-over Staff
Our shacks and yurts need to be changed-over for new guests every Monday and Friday between 9.15am-2.45pm. We are looking for experienced house-keepers, either available on call or for regular weekly shifts. You will be fast and efficient, proud of your high standards, passionate about hospitality and ready to go the extra mile to make Bivouac a really special experience for our guests.

For more details about either role or to apply, contact Beth Hardwick by emailing .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or calling 01765 535 020.

Win a beautiful photographic print…

David has been around and about taking photographs of our site the old fashioned way… Film, not a memory card in sight.

We have three of David’s prints to give away. To be in with a chance of winning one of the three 10” x 8” prints, you need to answer the following question:

What is the name of the man who built the Druids Temple folly?

Clue…The answer can be found by having a nosy around our website.

Please submit your answer, along with your full name to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) 

The three winners will be announced on Friday 23rd March. Your information will not be used for any other purposes than the competition entry. Only one submission per person.

The weather has continued to throw itself at us over the last month or so, you’ll be glad to know it’s done nothing to stop us! This is a little video snippet showing a snowy day back in December.

We’ve been having lots of discussion about health and safety at the Bivouac.

We wondered what you thought of the Gever Tulley and his Tinkering School… We love it!
