From treehouses to tiny homes: Our off-grid adventure.
We’ve always been builders at heart. From childhood treehouses to custom speakers, if we could dream it, we built it. So naturally, we (Harry and George, our workshop guru) set our sights on something bigger: an off-grid shack on Harry’s family farm in Cheshire.
Cramming a composting toilet, solar power, and all the comforts of home into a tiny footprint wasn’t easy. But overcoming those challenges to create a unique, low-impact experience?
Now that was amazing.
How a chance encounter built our dream.
Fate intervened during a chance encounter with Clive Sykes, the holiday cottage legend himself. Intrigued by our off-grid haven, he saw the potential for something special.
Countless brainstorming sessions and a shared vision later, Shacks was born. With Clive’s industry expertise and the business acumen of his partner, Miles Hill, we’re unlocking incredible off-grid stays for adventurers across the UK.
Crafted design handbuilt by us. Responsibly made.
Each off-grid haven is meticulously hand-built by our skilled team in our dedicated workshop, using only the highest quality, sustainable materials. From solar-powered energy to cleverly designed composting toilets, we’ve considered every detail to minimize our footprint while maximising your comfort.
A partnership with local farmers
We work closely with farmers around the country, helping them diversify their land whilst providing our guests with truly unique holidays. We hope our guests leave each stay with an appreciation for the role farmers play in our society.
