Mickleton, Gloucestershire, England
A bespoke tiny home on an active Cotswold sheep and arable farm near Mickleton, conceived by the owner and built by an Australian couple. Pinetree Lodge runs on solar power with USB charging only (no three pin sockets), and the wood burner is the sole heating source. The outdoor kitchen with fire pit, BBQ, and one pot meal setup is designed for cooking under open sky, while the indoor kitchen handles the basics.
The Cotswold setting puts Chipping Campden, Broadway, and Bourton on the Water within reach, and the Cotswold Way starts at Chipping Campden. At £217 per night with a 4.98 rating from 198 reviews, it is priced at the top end for an off grid stay, but the farm location, the bespoke build, and the proximity to some of England's most visited villages justify the rate. The farm collie, Woody, may visit. Lambing and harvest seasons bring occasional noise.
We love the solar only, USB only power setup. It is a genuine constraint that shapes the whole stay, and on a Cotswold farm with that view, it is the right choice.
Reviewers praised the lodge's beautiful design, attention to detail, remarkable surroundings, and unmatched views; they enjoyed a relaxing stay and highly recommend booking.
