Heavenly hideaways with warming wood-burners
Penned on the 27th October 2023
Wood-burners help to create the perfect cosy ambience throughout the whole year. There’s nothing like a long winter weekend away where you can return from a blustery walk, pop the kettle on and snuggle up by the warmth of the fire with a good book. That’s the beauty of a wood-burner, they help to extend the glamping season from summer, into autumn and winter. Here are a few of our favourite hideaways with a wood-burner, helping you to create a heavenly hygge ambience through every season…
