MODULOG

Wye Life chats with Neil and Sally Pemberton who commissioned their own Modulog glamping pod for their site at Bartershill Farmhouse in the heart of the Cotswolds… How did you hear about Modulog? Following our barn conversions we were looking for a unique, quality, luxury product for our self-catering guests that would blend with the rest of our grounds. Our search began on the internet and that’s where we found Modulog. We spoke with Leigh Price of Modulog and a site visit was arranged for us where we could see brochures and photographs of other installations, and the best part was a scaled down version of a Modulog in different parts - so you could almost design your own version within minutes of interaction. What made you choose a Modulog? After the site visit we visited the joinery in Builth Wells where we learnt that

the different layers of insulation meant we could offer all year round accommodation, plus it had a robust feel; the joinery was of the highest standard and we both loved the curved woodwork. The rustic finish meant that the natural wood effect would blend into the surroundings of our grounds over the years. What input did you have in designing your own Modulog? We then set about designing our very own five berth version with Leigh; everything was bespoke down to the open end timber wall, the different wood finishes, patio doors, decking and even the bunk room over the main double room. Once we’d made our choices the quotation process was quick and we excitedly ordered our very own Modulog. Leigh helped us with the planning permission which went through smoothly. In fact he christened our Modulog 'The Pemberton'. 66

The next stage was choosing our furnishings; we wanted to keep the quirky vintage style but with the highest standards of quality for our guests. We eagerly chose the bathroom, log burner, smart tv with wifi, kitchen with induction hob, patio chairs, double bed, and a bed settee. How was the installation process? Within 12 weeks our Modulog was ready to install, then in just a week everything was fitted. We employed local tradesmen to fit electricity and water; they made it seem effortless. Leigh and his team from Modulog couldn't have been more helpful, and their attention to detail and tidiness was excellent. How pleased are you with your Modulog? We’re thrilled; we’ve already had a variety of guests from young families and romantic couples to cyclists,
