PITMIDDLE HUT

SLEEPS 2-6 | FROM £220 PER NIGHT | 2 NIGHT MIN

Oh what an adventure this will be.

Named after its neighbouring abandoned village, the Pitmiddle Hut is a little nod to a way of living that was slower, more intentional, crafted out of necessity. Off-grid. Not connected to electricity, water or sewers as most of our homes today are.

For a family adventure

Although this hut can technically sleep more than the stated 6, we feel that the most it truly can accommodate comfortable and safely is a maximum of 4 adults, or a combination of 2 adults and up to 4 children. Unfortunately if bookings are made for more than this, we will be unable to welcome you to stay in the hut.

All of our accommodation at Guardswell Farm is self-catering, however, we occassionally have events on in the Steading (have a look at the EVENTS tab) which involve food!! This Pendicle has two gas hobs to cook on- but you could also cook on the Big Green Egg, the firepit outside and the woodburning stove inside. Please note that as the Pendicle has limited electricty, there is no fridge, however, we do provide a cool box with ice blocks. 

Guardswell is a little escape from the modern, fast-paced world- and as such- we dont have any wifi or televisions (however, we do have 4G if you need to catch up with the world). We hope you enjoy the conversations, the board games and the silence.
