HILDA @ NIGHTINGALE
Want to enjoy the peace and wildlife but don't want to pitch? Hilda is for you! New for 2024, come and stay in this beautifully converted "skoolie", situated within Nightingale Glade in our new rewilding area.
Equipped with solar panels and with the majority of her building materials reclaimed, this sustainable home on wheels is the perfect match for our project.
Hilda has everything you need for a comfortable stay for up to 4 guests. Whether you're looking for a romantic getaway for two or a close-to-nature break with the kids, Hilda suits all. On-board you will find a full kitchen with a gas hob, oven and grill. Luxury rainfall shower and bath, living room with a wood burner, comfortable beds and a fully-equipped BBQ area outside, along with a Lumi water pod to cool off in during the warm weather...

Hilda can comfortably sleep 4 adults. 2 in the standard double master bed in the back master bedroom. The bed is slightly raised, about 3 feet off the floor and accessible by a small step ladder at the front. The thick orthopaedic memory foam mattress is extremely comfortable. The sofas in the living area easily pull out and form a double bed or 2 singles, with the sofas cushions creating the mattress with a soft mattress topper on the top.
Hilda's story
Hilda began life in 2009 as an iconic yellow American school bus. She operated on the shores of Lake Ontario, North of New York, on the school run between 2009 and 2019. During the pandemic, in 2020, she was imported & rescued by her new owner to give
her a new life as a ‘skoolie’.
Since then, she has been lovingly hand-converted into a luxury cabin-inspired off-grid glamping unit over three years and we are all so excited to share her with you.
We hope you love and enjoy Hilda as much as we do, and you can make memories with us that you can cherish forever!
