About Us

In 2017, Russ and I left our jobs in the arts and journalism and moved from East London to Cropton Forest.

This was a no-brainer; we wanted to live our lives in the forest, surrounded by children, chickens and bees. We got married in the very spot where we decided to site the hut.

We always wanted to create a retreat, to welcome people to this incredibly wonderful place. We knew that we wanted to do things really well, to offer unusual, beautiful and comfortable accommodation. So, over the course of seven years, with two children thrown in, we schemed and dreamed and planned. In 2023, we were ready, Into The Glade was launched and our dream is becoming a reality. If Into The Glade interests you and you fancy a visit, come and see us. We look forward to welcoming you.
