THE SHOWMAN’S

SLEEPS 4 ADULTS + 2 CHILDREN

Take a journey through nature’s spectacular in this unique, lovingly converted showman’s home.

Once the family home to a circus ringmaster, this bohemian touring apartment has been lovingly renovated by Arcadia’s creative team. The spacious yet cosy Showman’s opens onto a private terrace with breathtaking views over a woodland canopy, Chew Valley Lake’s rolling hills and an endless changing sky.

The space

At 750 square feet, The Showman’s home is designed to amplify light and space, including full length wooden windows for spectacular views. It's built for families, with a king bedroom at one end, a smaller double room and a child’s single - plus a luxurious (bed sized) sofa which would be good for another child and additional camping space on the large private terrace. There is a full kitchen handcrafted from up-cycled copper panels, an antique wood burner, underfloor heating, a toilet, a hot shower and a quality sound system. Enjoy a drink with friends and family around the dining table, open up the doors and sprawl on the sun deck or venture down to the fire pit - a private area looking over the lake with a BBQ, picnic bench and an open hearth.

Outside there is a private wood-fired hot tub available exclusively for use by The Showman's guests for an additional cost of £70 per session, bookable here.

With acres of surrounding greenery to explore and woods to walk through, you can live carefree and connected to the land, listening to birds chirping and watching the wildlife with cool drinks tinkling in the the sunshine. Take time out with your loved ones, friends and family to enjoy summer in a unique magical location.
