All guests will have exclusive use of the Flint Barns which will be your home for the night.

Made from NASA-grade ceramics, the EGG’s distinctive racing-green dome provides unrivalled heat retention, control and durability, and cooks restaurant-quality dishes using eight different modes: grilling, roasting, baking, low & slow, pan cooking, dirty cooking, smoking and rotisserie.
