Stays in splendid isolation: 10 of the UK’s best off-grid retreats

Turn off the laptop, ditch the phone and tune into nature at a remote bothy, lighthouse, cabin or narrowboat

This tranquil retreat on the outskirts of the North York Moors started life as a shipping container, though today it’s a chic contemporary space with floor-to-ceiling windows and a raised deck area for alfresco dining. Above all, it’s the views that make the Box so special – an enormous bedroom window will reward you with pretty sunrises and star-studded night skies.
