Shabby Shack

Welcome to the Shabby Shack. The Shabby Shack wasn't always shabby it was once a wagon unloved and lost to the Cornish undergrowth. It hadn't been used for 30 years and was falling to bits, slowly. However, after a year of painting, sawing, polishing and wiring, the wagon has had a new lease of life and has been up-cycled to the Shabbiest Chichiest Shack in Cornwall. Come and enjoy staying in Shabby as much as we loved up-cycling him The space The shabby shack is completely off grid all electricity comes from solar panels. There is absolutely no hidden gas bottles powering anything. This mean you have one of the most environmentally friendly holidays in Cornwall. A week here and you ll be Smug in the knowledge that your Carbon foot print was ant sized. If the sun does nt shine a day or so lighting the wood burner provides a source of heat and cooking ; the wood is from the surrounding farmland so you can be snug but also still smug in the knowledge that no fracking or drilling has occurred to heat or feed you. The location is ideal for getting that much craved for peace and tranquility. Guest access Veranda Decking area Small fenced garden area You will be able to wander the farm track to the village and back. Other things to note The Shabby shack is a carbon neutral holiday . The electricity is supplied by Solar panels and stored in a battery bank. I have based the electrical requirement on the average usage of the following : Water heater, small kettle, fridge, small microwave and lights. It works very well on a sunny day. There are some occasions when the mizzel (mist and drizzle)sets in, the solar panels will power the lights and give you a tepid warm shower. However cooking becomes an issue. Not to fear as there is a wood burning stove which can be used to cook on and heat the shack. The wood is provided for free and from the farm wood.
