Bodrifty Roundhouse: A Unique Retreat

This amazing space, constructed in 1999, replicates the Chiefs Hut within the village. Inside the Roundhouse, you'll find the giant Green Oak four-poster bed, a fire bowl and some handmade benches.
A Blend of Modern Comfort and Rustic Charm:
While the Roundhouse is a homage to the past, it seamlessly blends modern comfort with rustic charm. A firebowl adds warmth and ambiance, inviting you to sit and contemplate the mystique of the ancient world
The Kitchen and Bathroom:
Adjacent to the Roundhouse, a treehouse holds the Kitchen and Bathroom, complete with underfloor heating and a spacious walk-in drench shower. These modern amenities are thoughtfully incorporated to provide you with contemporary comforts in this historical setting.
Digital Detox and Connection with Nature:
Notably, there is no Wi-Fi in the Roundhouse, encouraging you to unplug and reconnect with the simple pleasures of life. The absence of modern connectivity encourages you to immerse yourself in the pristine surroundings, revelling in the stillness and serenity of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
