Informace o společnosti
We’re a small, family-run company specialising in isolated or rural properties – we have a selection in Wales as well as a Chalet in France.
We fell in love with exciting designs way back in the early 2000s when we appeared on Grand Designs with our beautiful Curved House .
Since then we have added barns , beach houses , tree tents (including a Conker which appeared on George Clarke’s Amazing Spaces ) and Chalet Fnet with the new amazing The Kanda-Sphere, our brand new Mirror Conker to our collection.
Please do have a look on the internet and get in touch if you’d like information about any of them.
Informace o ubytování
The capsule is located 300m from the car park in the heart of a snowy private forest. Our beautiful Chalet F'net is nearby, as is our concierge, who may be able to provide meals for you with advanced notice - but why not take advantage of our grilling and fondue facilities on the wooden terrace which surrounds the Kandasphere. On the deck there is a palette sofa with cushions you can put out to stay comfy.
Inside the capsule, there is a double futon which turns into a sofa during the day, as well as plates, cutlery, linen, a selection of blankets. There is electric lighting in the conker itself as well as a gorgeous, handcrafted globe stove for light and warmth. Because the pod is served with electricity, you can charge phones, torches etc while you stay.
There are two toilets - one at the car park which is a 15 minute walk from the pod, and another which we have built especially, and is a five minute walk up the slope from the pod!
Please be aware that there is not presently any substantial lighting around the conker or on the path, so a good head torch is essential - and a hand torch won't hurt either!
Please note that there is running water (subject to mountain conditions) at the pod, giving you water available to drink and wash, as well as a bucket shower and a barrel hot tub - please speak to our concierge if you would like to use these so they can make arrangements.
Guest access
Access to the Kanda-sphere is on foot from the Les Toailles car park. It's about 300m (15 mins walk) up a steepish slope.
You don't need special equipment to get there, but it helps to be in good shape - and perhaps bring a pair of walking poles.
At the moment there is a rough, alpine track to the pod from the car park - it suits people who enjoy scrambling around in the forest and who have good walking shoes! You will need a good head torch for the path in the dark as there is no substantial lighting as of yet.
