Most of us need a private place to escape to, to unwind, indulge in a hobby or simply shut off from the rest of the world. This may be a shed, lodge or other retreat, either in the garden or in a separate location, and fortunately there are plenty of ways to create a compact getaway without breaking the bank. From re-purposing a caravan to building a nest in the trees, our ideas will inspire you to design a beautiful, bijou bolthole which might even earn its keep through rental income.
