Looking for a quirky getaway in the countryside? Then stay at our Tiny House, a wooden lodge on wheels set in a secluded corner of our nine-acre glamping field in Nottinghamshire. Spend your days exploring nearby sites like Sherwood Forest then relax in your unique Tiny Home. Cook up a barbeque feast, enjoy some board games and drinks, then soak in the Lay-Z-Spa beneath the stars before snuggling up in your cosy sleeping loft. Here’s why BrackenXcapes is the perfect place for a tiny house holiday UK.
Why stay in a Tiny House UK?
Tiny Home holidays UK offer a unique twist on classic glamping or cottage stays. Popular in the USA, Australia and Canada, Tiny Homes are typically set on a trailer, have a low-ceiling sleeping loft and measure under 400 square feet. They make great eco-friendly homes as well as holiday escapes as they can be set up in the countryside and don’t require any foundations to be built, meaning they leave no permanent mark on the landscape.
Bracken Heights: Our Tiny House Holiday UK Rental
Our custom-built Tiny House, Bracken Heights, is located on our family-run glamping site near Newark-on-Trent. Here’s why it makes the perfect Tiny House UK holiday escape:
Cabin vibes: built from wood and set away from other guests, Bracken Heights has a cute cabin feel and is surrounded by trees with panoramic views of the Nottinghamshire countryside. You’ll wake to the sounds of birds chirping and spot stars from the deck at night.
Lay-Z-Spa soaks: the Tiny House has a private outdoor space with a deck and seating, plus an inflatable Lay-Z-Spa hot tub lit by fairy lights. This is perfect for long, peaceful evening soaks surrounded by nature.
Cooking facilities: enjoy everything you need for a self-catering getaway in our Tiny House. There’s a full kitchen with oven, hob, microwave and fridge-freezer, as well as a barbeque and picnic table for outdoor dining.
Cosy sleeping nooks: low-ceilinged lofts or mezzanines are one of the signature features of a Tiny House. Ours has a main bedroom that’s enclosed and features a full bed; the second chill-out loft has a selection of games and a futon that can sleep a third guest. Both lofts measure 1.35-metres tall and have windows that overlook the countryside.
Year-round stays: with its thermally-treated timber, underfloor heating and double-glazed windows, BrackenXcapes is perfect for year-round stays, whatever the weather.
Mod-cons: Bracken Heights has all the modern conveniences you could need; think WiFi and a laptop-friendly breakfast bar, Smart TV, full cooking facilities and bathroom.
Eco-friendly credentials: our Tiny House is made from natural wood to blend into the surroundings and is well insulated with energy-efficient underfloor heating. There’s also a high-end, composting eco-toilet.
