The pods sleep 2 adults in a double bed and 2 children on fold-out Z beds, providing a perfect base to explore or relax. Guests can enjoy full access to the woodland, where children can build camps, play on the tyre swing, and gather fallen wood for fire pits. The spacious six-meter bell tent is bright and airy with a double doorway, decorated in Bedouin style with cushions and rugs. It features a double bed, fold-out Z beds, private nearby toilet, shower, and sink, plus an outside decked seating area with all bedding, towels, and cooking utensils. Set in a secluded woodland clearing with secret passages and wood sculptures, the site offers a magical atmosphere.
