    We've just returned from a 2 night stay in the glamping pod. It was lovely. Towels and robes provided. The bed and pillows are very comfortable. Great surroundings. We will definitely come back and stay again.

    I felt it was a bit overpriced. The showers and toilets, although fine were very basic and there weren’t many. Also the toilet bins were always overflowing when I used them, and the lock on 1 of the 3 toilets didn’t close.

    We had a nice time. Cute site and the tent was comfortable with good beds and fluffy towels and robes. We did morning yoga which was great and the food was lovely.

    Maybe a bit more of a path from tents to communal areas. Bit tricky to go toilet in the night. Take a torch. Maybe some cereal choices for breakfast. Unfortunately one day was short of staff (but understandable) so was a long wait for breakfast and in the evening one girl was doing everything including lighting the fire pit for the first time but did a great job as we all had fun trying to help make it.

    Location lovely. Good breakfast with variety of healthy choices but also scrummy pastries. Staff lovely and accommodating. Food and bar lovely, especially the rose wine ;0) Very relaxing and nice break from city life. Facilities were good too. My 3 year old enjoyed the swing and the hammocks and Satchi the friendly dog who comes to say hello everyday. Fire pit in the evening was great to sit and Chil around and get to know others that were staying there.

    Toilets are a little far to go at night, and the menu don’t have much variety of food however the toilets and showers were lovely and clean and the food was lovely! The staff were lovely however when asked a few questions they did not seem to know the menu or surrounds of the land however I got talking to the lady owner and she was very lovely and told me some paths for walks.

    First time Glamping! loved it! The bed was so so comfortable (best nights sleep in ages), lovely scenery, The biggest sunflowers (my favourite) some lovely tree rope swings and a vegetable kitchen/ greenhouse. We had a lovely evening walk around to the lake. The pizza and pasta was amazing! The teepee was so cute and the owners have the cutest husky! A very relaxing night away for my partners birthday! The land is very secure and made us feel safe with the iron gates to get in and out. We would definitely go again! it’s also close to the zoo which was a bonus!

    2/3 showers ice cold. As a group of 7 they would often bring out food out at different times rather than all together. Drinks are overpriced (tea/coffee etc) considering there are no make your own facilities.

    I loved the bell tents. Good stocked bar, lovely food, friendly staff.

    We were lucky to have great weather. I imagine in poorer conditions it really becomes just a base as opposed to a place to stay, relax and chill out.

    Fabulous location, concept and staff. So friendly and relaxed. Just felt it needed a little more by the way of facilities in terms of entertainment or things to do of an evening for both adults and children.

    Everything, Claire and the team were fantastic. Always happy to help and nothing was too much trouble. The food was beautiful and if you want to switch off and just be grounded this is the place to be. We will definitely be back for a weekend. Thanks for having us, you guys made our weekend 😀
