The story of Big Blue

When Paul had the bright idea to get a horse lorry I rejoiced thinking he finally was thinking about my horses. But alas (for me!) He had bigger plans for the 7.5 tonne Blue lorry that arrived to us on a low loader just a few weeks later.

The first job was to strip her right out and ensure the roof was watertight. Then we made a huge hole in it so we could add in the dome to give a sleeping under the stars experience, whilst snug and warm in bed.

When we had the empty canvas we could really start to design how we wanted her to look, modern funky, light and airy or snuggly and cosy. One thing that got a lot of debate was the flushing loo, inside or outside?! After many debates we decided having the loo within Big Blue would give the warmest midnight loo dash experience. Big Blue offers a back to nature holiday with plenty of comfort to make your holiday a real relaxing break.

Big Blue finally started to come together, it was a huge family affair. Paul spent countless hours working on her and Bertha the shower trailer, often with a little helpy helper in tow. There were many challenges but throughout the whole conversion the main focus was to give a unique, cosy, special experience for our guests

Finally Paul got to sit back and enjoy the haven that he created from a old and tired lorry to the shiny and quirky lorry we have now.

So we welcome you to come and join us to experience Big Blue. She resides in a special, quiet corner of the farm and enjoys the most amazing sunrises often overlooking the sheep, alpaca or horses. We hope we have packed her full of all the bits you should need for your stay. So just bring yourselves and a book,
