A fixed rent from a quiet, unproductive corner of your farm. We do the rest.
We place up to five off-grid cabins on field edges, run them end to end, and pay you a fixed rent every quarter. No planning application, no change of use, minimal infrastructure, no capital from you, and you keep farming around them.

Fixed land rent
No capital and no time. We buy, install, insure and run the cabins. You get a fixed rent per cabin, whatever the occupancy.
- Paid quarterly, from the first guest stay
- No bookings, cleaning, guest calls or maintenance for you
What makes a good site
You don't need your best land. The field corners, unproductive land and woodland you can't do much with are often ideal.
- Peaceful and not overlooked
- A view: natural scenery, open sky or woodland
- Parking off a lane or track, with cabins within a 500m walk
- An existing water supply we can tee off; a trough or field line is fine
- Room to space cabins nicely apart, roughly 10m × 8m each
Built for guests, and for your land
We have designed and upgraded our cabins over the years based on both guest experience and operational ease.
Our cabins are mobile, built on a steel trailer and towed behind a tractor to off-grid spots up to 500m from a parking point.
No planning, change of use or infrastructure is needed beyond a simple water line. Guests walk in with a trolley; it's part of the off-grid experience.

Planning, explained plainly
Our sites don't need a planning application or a change of use. Sites are exempted from planning, allowing up to five units. The cabins are mobile, sit on trailers and leave no permanent mark, so the land can go straight back to how it was.
Cabins and sheep, sharing a field
The sheep still graze the whole field. Stock fencing keeps them away from the cabins and a fenced parking area keeps cars off the grazing. The farm runs exactly as it did before.
Guests love it. Seeing the animals is one of the things they mention most in reviews.

Questions landowners ask
Is the rent fixed, or does it depend on bookings?
Fixed. You're paid per cabin, every quarter, whether the cabins are full or empty.
Guests bring dogs. What about my livestock?
Cabin areas are stock-fenced, dogs stay on leads and guests are briefed in the welcome pack.
Will it affect my farm payments or tax?
The cabins take a small area and the rest of the field stays in agricultural use.
Do I pay for the water?
Yes, this is set out in the licence. Water is the only thing we require.
Will guests wander round my farm?
No. Guests get a marked route from parking to cabin and clear guidance on where they can and can't go.
