Glamp and Tipple

Great experience

Overall, had a great time, the shop has everything you need and is open 24/7. The yurt was decorated nicely and was very warm once the fire got going (we stayed on a wet day in Feb). A little cold in the morning but what else would you expect and soon warmed up once we put the fire back on. Be aware with the hot tub as we accidentally overheated it and it was too hot for an hour or so, but eventually cooled down and was lovely and easy to maintain. Plenty of bedding and robes supplied. If you don't plan on cooking yourself, only Dominos and one other Indian deliver, although there are two nice pubs within a 5 minute drive. Would definitely want to return in summer.

Very impressive glamping site

This is a very well thought out site that gives privacy. Our yurt (Bollinger) was very well equipped and cosy. My only criticism is that the decking area around the yurt, hot tub and kitchen areas are very slippery and dangerous when wet. I suffered a bad fall. I was not being irresponsible nor was I under the influence of drink. The decking was wet and my right foot just slipped, bank a heap on the floor. I would like to see the smooth decking replaced by a highly non slip form of flooring. Apart from my bad fall, our glamping experience was terrific.

Site's response

Many thanks for your very lovely review, we are very happy to hear you felt that the site itself was impressive and that overall you enjoyed your stay. We were very distressed to hear that you had a fall while staying with us. Believe it or not it's the first time anyone has had a bad fall at our site before! Obviously, we take the safety of all our guest extremely seriously, and we do have lots of warning signs up around the site regarding the decking and taking extra care when walking around, if the weather has been wet. We do provide anti slip mats in the kitchen area, by the hot tub and at the front door of yurts. Unfortunately, at this time of year when all the leaves are falling it can cause the decking to be a little slippery and we do our very best to ensure guests are aware of this. It's hard being a rural glamping site and battling against the constantly changing weather, but we always try our best. Shortly, after your stay we did ask a company to come in and advise us if there is any solution which was affordable (as you can imagine we have a huge amount of wood on site and we are only a small family business) and we are waiting to see what options there are which will help long term. In the meantime we have paid a company to pressure wash all the decking areas to try and remove any excess dirt/leaves which may have been contributing to the issue and it seems to be a lot better. I hope this helps to reassure you and others reading, that we care very much about our guests and are actively trying to remedy any issues for future guests.

Great experience

We really enjoyed our time here and it was all as pictured on the listing. The ladies that own it and the staff were all great and wanted to go out of their way to make sure everyone enjoyed their stay. It is clear how much they love what they do and providing a great experience to visitors. It is great how much is provided on the site and saves the hassle of remembering and packing it all. The kids (and me) loved all the games and facilities that were provided on site and could have kept them busy for hours. The inside of the yurt was spacious and cosy.
