About Our Unusual Escapes

Our eco-friendly unusual escapes are short breaks that reconnect you with the outdoors. Take a Weekend Survival Skills Course and learn how to make shelters, start a fire and navigate in the stunning surroundings of beautiful Ashdown Forest, or go on a Weekend Survival Camp and see the stars from your shelter as you learn bushcraft techniques with a friendly group in a 72 acre wood. Our ultimate Eco Retreat for Two is an eco-friendly short break in the heart of the Welsh Mountains. Your 21 foot tipi is even furnished with a wood burning chimney fire, fluffy sheepskin rug, a double bed and organic welcome hamper, so this really is camping with extra-added kudos.

Customer Reviews of our Unusual Escapes

I like how unusual some of your experiences are, and chose the weekend survivial course for a friend. He came back spouting loads of thigns about building shelters and how to make a fire. From the sounds of things he really enjoyed himself.

Anna Southby

My wife and I have eco heating and water in our house and really believe it's important to try and be as green as possible, so we when it came time to book a short holiday we chose the eco retreat for two from buyagift. It was just amazing to see the Welsh mountains from our tipi, cooking our organic food from the hamper on the wood burning chimney stove. I really recommend this to anyone, as the tipi was so well furnished with a double bed and everything that it felt like a hotel room.
