A ‘digital detox’ hut hidden in Cheshire forces guests to lock their phones away

It’s something we’re all guilty of: endlessly scrolling through our phones and spending every spare moment staring at a screen. We all know it’s not good for us, yet we just can’t seem to stop.

In a bid to help us disconnect from our devices, two friends created digital detox huts which encourage people to switch off from technology and immerse themselves in their surroundings. Originally starting out in the south, Unplugged, founded by Hector Hughes and Ben Elliot, has now launched its first hut in the north, which is hidden away in the Cheshire countryside.

Located an hour from Manchester and just minutes from Cheshire’s Sandstone Trail, the hut looks out onto gorgeous views of rolling hills. The hut’s secluded location offers guests the ultimate rural retreat which is truly off-grid.
