Hinterland takes us to a place we long for. A place that urban centers cant provide, a place that feeds our senses of exposure to the elements and hazards of nature that otherwise remain muted. This sense of exposure and danger raises our awareness of our surroundings. These feelings however never turn into a threat as the occupants can look upon this from a safe vantage behind the threshold of the shelter.

            We like to keep things luxurious but simple….  They are a model of living that prioritises quality over quantity. The beauty of this luxury of paired down living promotes the experience of people over the accumulation of things (sofia borgees)

            It’s the perfect blend of scandavanian décor simplicity/reclaimed and salvaged items, luxury and paired down living.

What makes us different? Well apart from the above Our usp is our ability to have our shelters/hotel rooms in locations that previously were inaccessible for accomadation. Or shelters are mobile and are moved on a rotational basis. We have secured jaw dropping locations with land owners all over the lake district ffet away from lakes, at the top of mountains and high passes, at the foot of waterfalls and much more.

You are not in a small cramped plastic space, you are not crammed in a corner of a field alongside a gabble of other occupants or hidden from views nor are you bearing the hardship of long stays in a tent to experience these views and closeness to nature. You will not be cold, we have over 12 kws of heat in each shelter/room and in winter there are an array of windows to secure fresh air.

You will be totally off grid but find everything you could need for a self catering experience. For example our bus has been built using local larch and oak, reclaimed oak strip flooring, honed marble tiled wetroom, doors from the famous hempel hotel , salvaged 1950’s bulkhead lights from a german cargo ship and reclaimed handles, taps and sinks. a classic norwegian jutul 601 wood burning stove Designed in the lated 1930's by architects Blakstad og Munthe-Kaas, an esse plus 1 woodburning cooker, Shackleton and Scott relied on an ESSE in the Antarctic, and Florence Nightingale would use no other brand in her Balaclava hospital. Instant hot water, fridge/freezer, composting toilet duck feather cushions, pillows and duvets, linen covers, Egyptian cotton towels, Aesop soaps and shower gels….
