PRODUCT IN FOCUS<br />

Hot Tubs & Cooking<br />

Pidley Bottom Cottages & Shepherd’s Huts at Sidings Farm<br />

Description: Luxury, self-catering accommodation set within a small<br />

working farm deep in the heart of the Cambridgeshire countryside<br />

Product: LuvTub and a wood fired sauna<br />

Supplier: Naked Flame Eco-<br />

Tubs<br />

Telephone: 01484 766233<br />

Website: www.nakedtubs.com<br />

Details: The owners at Sidings<br />

Farm were attracted by the low<br />

water volume and fast heat up<br />

time (one hour) of the LuvTub.<br />

Made from solid Scandinavian<br />

timber, hot tubs from Naked<br />

Flame can be supplied in sizes to suit all spaces and arrive with the<br />

customer fully built.<br />

The site also ordered a wood-fired sauna. Bespoke layouts including<br />

changing rooms, outdoor seating and various storage options give<br />

each design its own personality and, with the addition of the new semi<br />

internal wood-burning sauna heaters, there is now no need to take any<br />

fuel into the sauna room itself. Simply load from outside eradicating<br />

the potential for any mess inside. Electric heaters are also available if<br />

preferred, and both are available in the classic barrel design as well as<br />

the pod shape (pictured).<br />

Feedback: “From the moment we contacted Naked Flame we<br />

were impressed with the level of service, attention to detail and<br />

communication. Throughout the order and delivery process we were<br />

kept informed as to the build time and exact delivery date and time –<br />

something that was important to both us and our guests.<br />

“The build quality of both the tub and sauna are exemplary and<br />

Naked Flames’ after-sales service means that technical questions are<br />

answered promptly and in full. The addition of these facilities means<br />

that our booking rates have increased and our guests have been<br />

assured an added dimension to their stay with us – we wholeheartedly<br />

commend Naked Flame!”<br />

Wigwams<br />

Description: A glampsite<br />

North Northumberland<br />

coast with 27 Wigwams,<br />

three canvas yurts, a<br />

Product: Three 11m2<br />

Finman BBQ Huts<br />

Supplier: Logspan<br />

Telephone: 01389 887205<br />

Website: www.logspan.<br />

Details: Pot A Doodle Do<br />

Wigwams saw the benefit<br />

of offering a warm, dry<br />

environment where their<br />

guests could eat. They<br />

wished to test the waters<br />

with one BBQ hut, with the<br />

option of adding more if<br />

uptake was good. It wasn’t<br />

long before they had three<br />

popular BBQ huts up and<br />

running, adding another<br />

unique selling point to<br />

an already very popular<br />

glamping site.<br />

Feedback: “We saw these<br />

BBQ huts at the Royal<br />

Highland Show and felt<br />

they would be a great<br />

addition to our site for<br />

guests when the weather<br />

was not so great. We<br />

received excellent advice<br />

from Logspan regarding<br />

installation of the huts and<br />

the building of them.<br />

“The quality of these<br />

huts is superb. You can<br />

BBQ at anytime of the year,<br />

whatever the weather.<br />

Lots of our guests enjoy<br />

great nights in the BBQ<br />

huts. They are easy to use<br />

and with the extractor fan<br />

fitted they are foolproof.<br />

They are very easy to clean<br />

and very low maintenance.<br />

We would certainly<br />

recommend Logspan BBQ<br />

huts as an addition to any<br />

site.”<br />
