Witham Friary · 船 · 1室1床1.5卫 · 可住2人 · Unique Experience on a Tiny Boat Nestled in Nature
'Tiny Boat' is small but perfectly formed, sleeping two with serene bedside views of water and wildlife. Located at 42 Acres - a regenerative farm, nature reserve & wellbeing retreat centre. We are situated in rural Somerset between Frome & Bruton and we run on 100% renewable energy. Explore our 173 acres of wild spaces, including ancient woodland, rewilded meadows, edible hedges, a lake suitable for wild swimming & an abundance of wildlife. It's the perfect place to reconnect with nature. 'Tiny Boat' is tucked away at a secluded, private mooring on our 7-acre lake. The setting is quite extraordinary - this lake is home to once-thought-extinct beavers, otters and more...If you're lucky you could wake up to a flash of turquoise from our resident kingfishers or the sound of woodpeckers in the nearby woods. This refurbished barge sleeps two. Inside is a small kitchen and space to unwind. Outside is your private compost loo and shower block. And, a beautifully-located, private deck area to enjoy sundown. Whilst it's only a short stroll to the rest of our estate, you'll feel completely nestled in nature. The lake is suitable for wild swimming and you're very welcome to take out our rowing boat or paddle board. Back on land, you're also welcome to explore our 173 acres of wild spaces, including ancient woodland, rewilded meadows, edible hedges, a lake suitable for wild swimming & an abundance of wildlife. It's the perfect place to reconnect with nature. Two Things to Bear in Mind About Tiny Boat! 1) Tiny Boat really is named for her tiny-ness. She is beautiful and unique and cosy and wonderful and a favourite of returning guests. But, her low ceiling might not be the best choice if you are tall or claustrophobic. 2) You'll find yourself very close to the elements. This makes for a really immersive nature experience. But, severe weather will impact your stay. If you've made a booking and the weather takes a turn for the worse, pls feel free to get in touch - we may be able to reschedule your stay or move you to one of our beautiful buildings.
Can’t recommend highly enough. Booked this place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary and my wife spent the entire time saying ‘I can’t believe you found the PERFECT place!’ We had an absolutely magical time, saw beavers, deer, herons, hares and loads of other wonderful nature. The boat is super cosy, and sitting on the little dock just enjoying the surroundings was blissful. Thanks to Helena for making us feel so welcome - we’ll definitely be back.
I think the Tiny Boat is the most peaceful place in the world! Already scheming when I can come back.
Had an amazing time in 42 acres, brilliant land, beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Only pick up was the accommodation was dusty and not completely clean. Overall feel the package was slightly overpriced but would still recommend to friends.
Absolutely beautiful and peaceful location. Highly recommended for anyone who likes to connect with nature in an eco-friendly way. Take some time to explore all the grounds, the beaver trails, the tree house and the very calming woods. The boat is a lovely, snuggly place to stay with a great hot shower if it's chilly in the morning. Highly recommend the experience!
You will find yourself nestled in nature. As well as your private space, you are welcome to explore our regenerative land including our organically-farmed market garden, edimental walled garden, micro woodland mushroom farm, 7-acre lake (you're welcome to take out our row boat and/or SUP boards), edible hedges, 'secret' treehouse built around a veteran oak...
We are located in rural Somerset in between the beautiful, historic towns of Frome and Bruton - and about 20 mins drive from each. Both Frome and Bruton are charming, vibrant towns with a wealth of culture and thriving independent scene.
However, we steward our land in ways that support connection with nature and most of our visitors remain on site.
There is ample space and plenty of free parking on site. You are welcome to explore our outside space. Please do not go inside the other buildings.
自我介绍
42 Acres is a regenerative estate, nature reserve and wellbeing retreat centre. Our vision is to live in harmony with nature, self and others. Our beautiful, eco-friendly accommodation ranges from simple cottages to luxurious barn conversations. Each is powered by renewable energy and offers a cosy sanctuary, nestled in nature. Our 173 acres of land is home to millions of lives. We nurture the land not only for ourselves but for the other living beings we share it with. Over the past few years, we have seen the return of a number of once-thought extinct species, including beavers, wild boar and pine martens. We aim to go beyond being sustainable into what we call regenerative. Put simply, we aim to leave the earth in better shape than when we found it. Since 2014 we have planted over 5,000 native trees and over 1km of edible hedges - creating new sources of fuel, food and habitat. 100% of our heat and electricity is from renewable energy and we have 2 solar farms and 2 biomass wood-chip heat systems onsite. This is a place to relax, restore and reconnect.
