It all started a few years ago. Harry and George had always had a keen interest in building and constructing things — initially, it was treehouses, speakers and furniture, then they built their first cabin on Harry’s family farm. For a small structure, it was a little more complex than you might think. With composting loos, solar power, kitchen, bathroom and bedroom all integrated into a small space, the process threw up all sorts of challenges. Though it was stressful, they were delighted to create such a unique holiday experience with such a low carbon impact, and went on to create more. Their aim is to unlock amazing places for holiday makers all over the UK.

Stays are Fri-Mon, or Mon-Fri only (3/4 nights). No WiFi. The locations are truly off grid; the surrounding area can be muddy and hostile in the winter months.
Sustainability.
The cabin is built from sustainable materials, and is fully off-grid, with solar power, compost toilets, and spring-fed water.
Surrounds.
- Explore the paths around the highest point of the Clwydian Range, Moel Famau. Choose a challenging hike or gentler family-friendly route, and bring a camera for sweeping views across the Welsh countryside.
- Or follow the winding river through Loggerheads Country Park, before climbing up to dramatic panoramas of the Clwydian Range and the Dee Valley (an AONB).
- The Cherry Pie Inn is a cosy little pub 5 mins’ drive or a lovely 40-minute stroll from the cabin. There’s a traditional menu (including cherry pie, ofc) and the friendly service gets rave reviews. The Crown Inn (3 mins’ drive / 25 mins’ walk) is great for a drink; dog friendly, with a log burner.
- A 15-minute drive leads to Mold, a charming little town. There’s been a weekly market here since medieval times, but nowadays it runs twice a week; Wednesdays and Saturdays. With 70+ independent stalls lining the High Street and through to Daniel Owen Square, you’ll find delicious cheeses, meats, fresh fruit and veg and artisan stalls, and buying your groceries here is a great way to support local businesses.
- Mold is also home to the romantic Y Delyn Wine and Tapas Bar (ideal after a day’s adventures).
- For some sea air, we love Talacre Beach with its beautiful sand dunes, just a short 30-minute drive away (dog friendly).
