Marthrown Tipi:

For a slightly different experience how about chilling out in a native American style Tipi. In the Tipi there are 4 mattresses. It has a wood burning stove, rugs and 4 bean chairs as well as all the cooking and dining equipment you will need. There is a 2 ring stove in a separate cooking shelter about 15-20 meters away. It also has a BBQ and picnic table and use of the outdoor fire pit. All you need to bring are pillows, sleeping bags and torches! Lighting is from LED battery lights - sorry there is no mains power but it is possible to charge phones,laptops etc down here at the centre. There are 2 dry composting loo's and a hot shower on site about 40 meters from the tipi or there are conventional ones for you to use at the bunkhouse. For family groups it gives children the chance to play freely (the way we used to!) before the days of Play Stations, mobile phones and fashion!

Marthrown Yurts:

Our Mongolian Yurts (or Ger to give it its correct name) have proved very popular with couples, small groups and families interested in 'Glamping' in Mabie Forest in Dumfries and Galloway, southern Scotland. The centrepiece of the Yurts is a very effective wood burning stove which has an oven in which you can rustle up a tasty meal.

Two lochs and many smaller ponds along with the variety of trees means that an amazing variety of wildlife abounds in Mabie Forest. Red squirrels and woodpeckers come right into the courtyard and many rare species of insect and bird life frequent the area.
