We are delighted to announce that we will be re-opening on July 4th 2020!
If you are looking for an escape into nature, then Forest Garden Shovelstrode is a woodland eco-retreat offering fresh air therapy and peaceful seclusion for you and your loved ones.
We have two traditional yurts and four rustic log cabins nestled in the ancient woodland, each capable of sleeping between 2-4 people.
To check availability and to make a booking please visit our WEBSITE.
Covid-19 Cleaning & Hygiene
Your health and that of our staff is of utmost importance to us.
Forest Garden Shovelstrode is set across 5 acres and so each cabin or yurt is located between 50-80 apart allowing for safe social distancing between families.
We have initiated a more intensive and regular cleaning regime for all our yurts & log cabins, and also for our recently upgraded shared shower & loo facilities. There are hand sanitisers placed throughout the site.
Full details of our Covid-19 cleaning protocol can be found on WEBSITE
Introduction to Bee keeping
We will be running our 1-day ‘Introduction to Bee Keeping courses’ this year on Sunday 19th July and 16th August, 2020
This is a great chance to learn about the lifecycle the bee, how to care and what to plant for them. You will be able to look into a hive and see the colony at work. You may even be inspired to become a bee keeper yourself!
