The retreat offers a collection of handcrafted French Roulottes and a Dutch woonwagen, each individually decorated with unique carvings, fabrics and furnishings, as well as Horseshoe Cottage with its own Ruby Bowtop Gypsy caravan in a woodland garden. Some roulottes include special extras such as a wood-fired copper bath tub or eco sauna for quiet relaxation.
