Archie
In partnership with Big Green Egg, Archie is our cabin curated for "foodies". Tucked beside a woodland on a beautiful estate, Archie has been thoughtfully designed to help you both rest and recharge, and cook up delicious meals inside and outside the cabin.
You'll have your own Big Green Egg to grill, roast, slow-cook and bake. Equipped with all the cooking equipment you'll need (down to a chef's apron), you can make anything from pizza to rotisserie chicken. Archie also comes with a wood-fired hot tub with views into the woodland.
Archie is located a short walk away from Belvoir Castle, which has its own farm shop filled with local produce and even an on-site brasserie. There are great food spots nearby, including The Martin's Arms, run by Laurence Henry, champion of MasterChef: The Professionals, and The Chequers Inn which is also award-winning.
Inside, you’ll find everything you need for a few days of proper switch-off. There’s a hot shower, super comfortable kingsize bed, and a kitchen kitted out for cooking up all your favourite meals. For your digital detox, the cabin comes stocked with board games, a retro cassette radio, plenty of books, and a map of the local area.
Archie is only a 65 min train ride from London Kings Cross, followed by an 18 min taxi. Some restaurants are a short drive away, but most walks and local gems can be reached by foot. There is a public footpath a few minutes from the cabin so you can explore the gorgeous Leicestershire countryside. Dogs are welcome at Archie. but please keep them on leash for their safety and that of the local wildlife.
Good to know:
Phone signal at the cabin is limited for most networks, so please be aware you may need to walk 100m or so back to the parking area to text or call friends, family or cabin support.
Archie is on the same estate as his sister-cabin, Yasmin. You won't see or hear each other when at the cabins, but they're close enough to be perfect for friends, couples and for groups who might want to stay close by.
The cabin for "foodies"
Rooted in a love for food and cooking outdoors, Archie has been thoughtfully curated for foodies. Kitted out with the top Big Green Egg products (the world’s most sought-after and instantly recognisable kamado-style ceramic outdoor ovens) and located close to many award-winning restaurants, it's the perfect spot for food-lovers.

Outdoor cooking with Big Green Egg
Archie includes a large Big Green Egg ceramic oven in a eucalyptus table for easy outdoor cooking. All the classic accessories are included, plus a cast iron dutch oven, a Solidteknic Skillet and pan. We even include a leather chefs apron so you can look the part whilst cooking.

Farm shop and local produce
Archie is located a 15 minute walk from Belvoir Castle Farm Shop where you can pick up the finest seasonal produce from the local area (with an exclusive Unplugged guest discount). You can also add a BBQ hamper for 2 (sourced almost entirely from the land right outside your door) to be delivered to the cabin ahead of arrival. Plus, Colston Bassett Dairy is about ten minutes away and one of only six dairies in the world licensed to make Stilton.

Award-winning pubs and restaurants nearby

Reviews
It was so amazing to switch off. I haven't felt so calm in such a long time and being immersed in nature was such a treat.
Loved the coziness of the cabin. it was so clean and comfy - it was incredibly off grid and allowed for a full digital detox!
The cabin was really well equipped and easy to work. The location was great, the printed map of the area was extremely helpful and all the recommendations we followed were really good!
No other cabins too close, the peace, lack of signal - time to chill.
Being in nature, no one around and doing stuff we haven’t done in years (listening to cassettes, playing card games etc).
