Gascon

With fabulous views over the Dorset countryside, Gascon is set in the midst of a beautiful rolling wild flower meadow. With a subtle French twist incorporated within, this wonderful safari tent with its spacious, well-appointed living space and spectacular views, is the ideal setting for a family getaway. Gascon is one of three wonderful safari tents, each named after a fine breed of pig – in this case, from France. Gascon is perfectly designed to allow you to enjoy the warm summer months. Its extensive decking provides a sociable space where you can soak up the sun, or perhaps watch the sun go down with some nibbles and – with Gascon’s provenance - a glass of Provencal rose? The canvas can be opened up to provide seamless access to the deck and views to the rolling Blackmore Vale. For the chillier evenings, why not snuggle up inside with a mug of hot chocolate on one of the welcoming sofas? The wood burning stove will keep you toasty while you relax, or perhaps get competitive with a board game! The French influences continue throughout Gascon and are reflected in the beautiful furnishings and space. The tent has three bedrooms – a comfy king-size bedroom with storage space, a twin room and a cosy cabin bedroom with a double bed. The bathroom with a hot shower and separate WC at the back of Gascon means you don’t have to get chilly toes in the middle of the night – no midnight yomps across a field here! The bespoke fitted kitchen, built with care by a local craftsman, has everything you need to rustle up a gourmet feast using some of the fabulous local produce. The wood-fired oven is supplemented by a gas hob and there’s even a fridge-freezer so you can keep the little adventurers happy with lots of ice cream. The light and airy living area is the perfect place to relax, and provides comfortable seating for the whole family, with views to die for.
There is hot water throughout and electric lighting in the living space and bathroom. The bedrooms are lit by battery powered lanterns and there are USB ports for those that need to charge a phone.
Gascon prides itself on being environmentally friendly and the site has been a finalist for awards such as The Dorset Environmental Award and BV Dairy Investing in Dorset Award.
For a large get together Gascon can be booked with Murciano and Mukota under Three Little Pigs.
