In the middle of nature but on natures terms this place sings a lyrical folk song of peace, beauty, exceptional design and understanding.

    I love them as art installations, but I don’t think I’d feel comfortable sleeping in them. Give me a log cabin with a crackling fire anytime, or a tent. Maybe that’s the Neanderthal in me talking 😉

    George Clarks Amazing spaces featured this on Ch 4. Good to know the birds are catered for…..it worried me when I first saw the glass box. Now I can sleep soundly….inside it hopefully! Awesome xxx
