Oozing character and hidden surprises, Dixie is a repurposed horse box set in a wonderful wild flower meadow in Elsing. Complete with a beautifully crafted bathroom, king-size bed and decking with views over the rolling countryside, it makes the most fantastic place for a relaxing break.
Dixie is made up of three parts; the main horsebox which is home to the living area, an undercover top deck attached to the horsebox and a separate bathroom. There are a set of steps heading up to the first floor decking where you are greeted by a set of french doors that lead inside to the living space. There is a fully-equipped kitchen with a fridge-freezer, four hob grill and oven and a large Belfast sink providing everything you need for cooking up a storm. There is a handcrafted yew slab with a couple of chairs, if you fancy dining inside; along with a wood burner sits opposite the kitchenette, stocked with logs to keep you toasty in the cooler evenings. To the rear of the lorry is a sofa and tucked neatly above, accessed by a ladder, is a king-size bed. Dixie is also complete with different lighting options, USB sockets and a Bluetooth sound system.
Either up a set of steps from the outside or from inside the horsebox through the hobbit door, you are led to the top deck which is undercover with a wonderful pig arc shelter roof. Here you can chill and watch the wildlife go by, or sit in the swinging chair with a good book.
Set to one side of the lorry is a large bathroom. The sink is its own work of art, crafted from a slab of yew with a stone sink held up by twisted ivy lengths. There is a large walk-in shower and a composting WC. On the other side of the lorry is a firepit area, with plenty of seating and BBQ griddle and equipment.

The box was beautifully fitted out with really thoughtful features. Tori was excellent at responding to messages and couldn't have been more helpful. A beautiful site surrounded by nature.
