If you were looking for cottages like Big Blue, how about trying these:

Whoa, hold your horses! If you are champing at the bit to get away, then why not place a bet on Big Blue, our bookies favourite. Having cantered up and down the country for many years, this former horse lorry has been put out to pasture and lovingly converted by its owners to provide a unique and very special glamping experience where wonderful holiday memories are sure to be made.

Surrounded by open countryside, with glorious views across rolling pastures, Big Blue and her little sister Bertha create a perfect scene, so kick back and immerse yourself in the peace, tranquility and beauty that surrounds. From enjoying a leisurely breakfast al fresco style watching the sun rise on your day, an afternoon soak in the hot tub (oh yes there's a hot tub!), relaxing with a good book in the egg chair watching the bird and wildlife who call by, or evenings cosied up in the front of the wood-burner, you will soon be at one with nature and feeling totally relaxed.

Step up the tail gate and a warm welcome awaits you. The carefully crafted kitchen comes complete with an induction hob, microwave and fridge and the cosy living space takes pride of place in front of the large picture window that looks out across the open countryside, with the sheep and alpacas who regularly frequent the pasture in front, adding to your entertainment. You've a toilet and wash-basin at your convenience, but no TV or WiFi so you are in for a digital detox, enjoying everything that surrounds you and most importantly time together. Time for bed and up the ladder you climb, to snuggle up under the covers, and look up to the night skies through the star-gazing window overhead - how cool is that - and it's a quick trot across to Bertha, originally a horse box but now home to your gleaming shower-room, with hot and cold water provided of course! Please note that Bertha is a traditional horsebox, so you will experience a little bit of alfresco showering through the gap between the door and roof. This only adds to the uniqueness of your time spent in nature. A little bit of re-wilding is good for the soul, and you can take comfort that your hideaway is completely private!
