The tent was great! Enough space and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Fiona was lovely and brought us a couple of cold ciders which were very welcome on an extremely hot day. There were games etc available for our children which was great and enough space around for them to play. The scenery was beautiful and very peaceful. Very quick response when we had a question or needed something. We’ll be back again. Thanks! a month ago · via Google Amy Evans ★★★★★ Fantastic little glamping site tucked away in a beautiful quiet location. We stayed for 4 nights as a family of 4 and had the best time. The safari tent was large and comfortable and we enjoyed stories round the fire while toasting marshmallows each night. The private toilet and shower was a bonus (especially if you're like me and not a fan of roughing it!) 2 months ago · via Google louise hannah ★★★★★ Lovely campsite, with nice finishing touches provided (e.g marshmallows, logs & ciders). Kitchen area was great and lots of games too. Bell tent very comfy and cosy. Wonderful few days. Thank you 2 months ago · via Google Hannah-May O'Shea ★★★★★ The most phenomenal hen weekend for my sister-in-law. Can not thank them enough - absolutely beautiful site and so many little extra details they added that really made it special. The tents, shelter, kitchen, toilets and showers were all amazing.
