Our first-ever project, this beautiful garden escape overlooks the Wye Valley in Symonds Yat.

We worked with Caron on this stunning space for her garden, the perfect solution for both welcoming visitors and relaxing alone. She spoke to us about her project, which featured a bespoke design and sustainable timber construction.

Why did you want to develop a Garden Escape?

We love having people over to stay but we were always struggling to find the space. With no room in the house we almost had to put any visitors in tents in the garden. That’s when I thought about Garden Escapes. It was the perfect way to make the extra space and to take advantage of the lovely view we have.  I’ve got friends queuing up to stay at our house now!

What were the key elements that made Garden Escapes stand out from the other providers?

The team at Garden Escapes was so enthusiastic about the build; they came up with some fantastic ideas and went out of their way to include mine. Garden Escapes do everything bespoke and I really feel as if I have a one-off piece of architecture. I’m passionate about the environment and it’s really reassuring knowing that my Garden Escape is very eco-friendly.

What are the biggest benefits you’ve noticed from your Garden Escape?

Having the extra space has been very useful. We can have friends over to stay and when it’s not being used as a spare room it’s such a nice place to just sit back and enjoy the view. The kids love it as well, they can head to the Garden Escape to play, watch TV or chill out. Anyone can escape to the garden, watch the world go by and have some peace and quiet – a novelty in our house!
