The Lazy T
In brief: A luxury, adults only, off-grid getaway, lovingly handcrafted by owners Katy and Skot.
Our highlight: Brook – a handcrafted, dog-friendly off-grid cabin with access via a private footbridge and a firepit/barbecue.
Insider guide: The Lazy T is a sanctuary where guests are invited to switch off, forage for food, and most importantly embrace the peace and quiet, broken only by the hooting of the owls or the crackle of a fire. There are two cabins and two five-metre inflatable dome tents, but this is far from camping. Every site has private facilities and includes a king-size bed, inside and outside fires, hot showers, flushing toilets and kitchenette. Individual footbridges over the babbling brook give you access to your own secluded woodland stay. The perfect sanctuary to switch off, connect with nature and let the sound of the stream carry your troubles away.
