The Artist's Retreat

SURRENDER TO YOUR CREATIVE SIDE
SLEEPS SIX

The Artist’s Retreat is an idiosyncratic gem.

So-called in homage to 18th Century Romantic artist Thomas Gainsborough who fondly featured the land of The Lost Garden Retreat in one of his paintings entitled ‘Heneage Lloyd and his sister, Lucy’ c.1750.

The interiors shine with yellow accenting, mirroring the golden leaves depicted in Gainsborough’s paintings of Autumn ‘the painter’s season’.

Relax in the swinging love seat and take in the exquisite, tranquil landscape; this is the perfect place to surrender to your creative side.

Inside each open-plan tent you’ll find all the modern day essentials along with a few of life’s little luxuries including vintage books, nostalgic board games and a few unearthed and repurposed curiosities.

Some extra luxuries
Included in your stay is sufficient firewood as well as a bag of charcoal and kindling and a box of eco firelighters.

 

A corner of the Artist's Retreat shows a plant on top of a custom made set of drawers. A pretty mirror hangs on the wooden panelled wall above the drawers.

Beds

Each tent sleeps up to 6 adults: a double room with a king size bed and a room with a bunkbed (the bunks sleep adults too!) and a cabin bed (also king size) for those curious little travellers. All our beds are wonderfully comfortable with fresh soft cotton sheets & a warm duvet cover.

Your sleep is important to us!
