The Hideaway, Baxby Manor near York planned to expand its range of accommodation with the addition of several fully equipped holiday Kabinas, but was reaching the capacity limit of its 60 A single phase grid supply. As the campsite aims to offer eco-friendly holiday lets, the owners decided to complement the power supply with a 52 kW solar and a 120 kWh energy storage system, using sustainable energy supply to offer an even more sustainable glamping choice for their guests.
It’s a very idyllic arrival when the green canopy of the tree-lined country road opens up to reveal the campsite. Children are racing across the meadow, while parents are relaxing with a cool drink in front of Hobbit-like wooden cabins. More and more holidaymakers are looking for eco-friendly accommodation and a way to reconnect with nature. But rustic camping in a tent is not for everyone, especially if the weather is too hot or the one-week holiday includes four days of rain.
