Overview

dormouse is the closest truffle to the cabin. you’re still far enough away to not see another soul (if it’s solitude you’re after) but you have the shortest walk for trips to the loo. keep a lookout for the mouse families who live near here – they’re very shy and very sweet.

inside your truffle there is a wood-burning stove, comfy solid wooden bed with sprung mattress, winter tog duvets for the night time chill, upcycled table and chairs, hammock and lots of blankets, books, games and low light lamps.

dormouse has a sheltered outdoor cooking area with your table under a canopy so no need to worry about a rain shower dampening your fun. all truffles have their own aquaforno (a cool combination of bbq and pizza oven), a simple gas hob (for a speedy morning cuppa) and a fire pit.

a short wander through the trees will lead you to the cabin which houses all the bathrooms and kitchen prep areas. each truffle has a private bathroom and its own kitchen area with fridge and sink. you also have a plug socket here for charging devices – this is the only area with power at honeydown as we try hard to remain offgrid as much as possible while still offering guests some home comforts.

there are five truffles at Honeydown, all around 50 metres apart. you may bump into other guests at the cabin, so there are opportunities to socialise if you fancy, but at your truffle you have your own private parcel of woodland.
