The glamping retreat is owned and operated by the Paterson family, who have been farming in Dilham since 1946. The focus at the farm is on conservation and respect for the local wildlife and the environment. Luke and Louise have put sustainability at the heart of the business and are delighted to have succeeded in achieving a carbon negative status, when the operation was assessed in 2022.
