New off-grid holiday hut hidden in Cheshire countryside has one strict rule

Even when we're on holiday, many of us struggle to fully switch off and often spend hours glued to our phones. In a bid to stop the endless scroll, a company called Unplugged is inviting visitors to make the ultimate commitment to their holiday time.

To try and help people disconnect from their devices, friends Hector Hughes and Ben Elliot launched a series of off-grid 'digital detox' huts in beautiful countryside settings. To ensure holidaymakers fully immerse themselves in nature, visitors are asked to lock away their phones.

As the founders explain on their website, a digital detox is when you voluntarily give up your smartphones, laptops and social media for a period of time to help you feel reconnected. Unplugged's first hut up north was launched in the Cheshire countryside last year and now they've unveiled a sister cabin.
