"Step inside to find elegant décor and all the facilities you'd expect from a hotel suite, including a well-equipped kitchen and a downy king-size bed to curl up in at the end of a long day exploring the local area.
"Your private bathroom, meanwhile, takes the form of a creativity transformed horsebox just outside...complete with underfloor heating, a piping hot shower, a radiator for toasty towels, and that all important 'proper' flushing toilet.
"Once you've settled in, why not relax in the hammock with a good book, or pour a glass of wine and get lost in conversation on the sun-dappled deck, which faces wide open fields?
"Watch the sun sink lazily behind the trees, then fire up the barbecue for a sizzling al fresco supper in the landscaped courtyard.
"There's a fold-down dining table and chairs inside too, along with strong WIFI via Arnie's dedicated 4G router- great for digital entertainment, should you decide you need it!"
