GLAMPSITES<br />

Willowsfield, Kent<br />

Product: Outdoor hot water shower<br />

Supplier: Sheepshed Creations, 01865 600400,<br />

hello@sheepshed.co.uk, www.willowsfield.co.uk<br />

Details: Willowsfield is a peaceful<br />

country retreat in Kent that creates<br />

wholesome two day wilderness<br />

camping experiences for larger<br />

groups of families and friends. Each<br />

group rents the entire site and can<br />

enjoy privacy and space around<br />

open fires in idyllic countryside.<br />

Facilities on the site include<br />

shelters, toilets, hot showers,<br />

water, open fires and chimineas<br />

plus access to adjacent hectares of<br />

forest. The whole experience has<br />

been designed to create the ideal<br />

bonding experience so a full group<br />

can get back together. It’s been so<br />

well received that previous guests<br />

are already rebooking.<br />

When looking for a hot shower<br />

solution, owner Peter Langdown<br />

turned to Sheep Shed Creations for<br />

its gothic arch inspired unit. “The<br />

overall sweeping shape and design<br />

looked unique,” he said, “plus the<br />

use of materials and matching colours was<br />

really elegant”. However, for the shower to<br />

work on this site, it needed a few adaptations<br />

so it could be moved it in and out of place for<br />

bookings.<br />

Customer feedback: Peter Langdown, owner,<br />

said: “As well as fantastic service, product and<br />

price, Julian from Sheep Shed Creations was<br />

even able to make custom alterations to our<br />

exact requirements”<br />

Wooda Farm Holiday<br />

Park, Cornwall<br />

Product: CampPlus Solo XL ensuite<br />

bathroom pods<br />

Supplier: Glampsan, 01922<br />

687545, sales@glampsan.com,<br />

www.glampsan.com<br />

Details: Set in the countryside,<br />

just a stone’s throw from the coast<br />

near Bude in Cornwall, Wooda Farm<br />

has been welcoming guests since 1975<br />

and offers touring and camping pitches,<br />

luxury lodges, cottages and a range of on-site<br />

facilities – it’s been a 5 star experience every year since<br />

1981.<br />

In July 2023, Wooda Farm installed six private bathroom pods on grass<br />

electric pitches in Upper Meadow. The high-spec CampPlus SOLO XL units<br />

allow guests to add an extra bit of space and luxury to their stay.<br />

Just as it can be awkward at home when the toilet and bathroom are<br />

in one room and there are lots of people trying to use the ‘facilities’ at<br />

the same time, the SOLO XL units have been designed with two separate<br />

compartments with individual doors. Compartment one contains the WC<br />

while compartment two gives separate access to the shower room, which<br />

includes a deep sink for washing and an under-counter fridge. Never the<br />

twain shall meet.<br />

Customer feedback: Graeme Colwill, owner, said: “We are looking forward<br />

to offering our guests in campervans, motorhomes, tents, touring caravans<br />

and trailer tents an added bit of luxury to their stay with their own private<br />

WC, shower, sink and washing up area. For people with extended families,<br />

the SOLO XL will give them extra space to spread out.”<br />
