Under the spell: summer magic at Penhein ✨
July 9, 2019
Summer has arrived at Penhein. Haymaking is under way and the days are long and full of sunshine allowing gleeful children to play outdoors well into the evening. A trail of wood smoke rises from the glampsite as the guests cook and chat around the campfires at the end of the day, and there’s something in the air that feels a little bit like magic. ✨
Everyone is invited to come and feel it. Just follow our simple spell to conjure up a summer holiday full of magical memories for you and your family. Here’s what you’ll need:
Fifty fluffy marshmallows….for toasting around the campfire as you tell stories over hot chocolate and hot toddy’s
Two attentive ears…for listening out for the hoot of owls and the rustle of leaves as you fall asleep under canvas
A sprinkling of excitement…as you rush down to the Castrogli stream to play Pooh sticks from the ancient bridge
Two eagle eyes…for spotting a shooting star in the night sky and making a wish
A whisper of quiet…for building a den in the woods without disturbing the fairies
A competitive spirit…to win! And lead your team to victory in the almighty Penhein Treasure Hunt
One voracious appetite…for foraging, picking, cooking and eating out in the wild
Three spoonfuls of bravery…for lighting your first fire! And letting the tent’s wood burner keep you toasty and warm
Ten fingers…for playing Jenga, drawing pictures and picking berries from the hedgerows
And a generous dose of adventure…to try something new! Book ahead for bushcraft, clay pigeon shooting, foraging, campfire cookery, forest bathing and more.
Leave out: screens, homework, emails, high heels and worst of all – bad tempers
Give it all a stir…and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime. So seize these sultry summer days, escape the ordinary and experience the magic of glamping at Penhein. ✨
