The Base Vegan Retreat Animal Sanctuary

Beautiful place run by beautiful humans. Wonderful cabin. Exceptional facilities and food. Watching the ducks with breakfast was pure joy. We will be back!

Ok bullet points a go go!, -Location is very cute- very close to local pubs within a very short walking distance -bedding and bed very comfy! - fridge in room - The animals in the garden are wonderful, very cute

i wanted to treat my partner for his birthday at a quiet chill place as he is a teacher and deserves some restbite. They were aware of this as i advised them after booking the room via booking.com -Rescue dogs downstairs barked at the slightest noise when moving around the room in the morn -Their cat rested it's cute self on my partners car bonnett, many scratch marks - Whomever replied to my partners message didn't express any real empathy and didn't apologise.. and just said ' naughty cat' and they hoped it would polish out... - Breakfast is expensive!.. we went to a cafe 10 min walk in the village, very tasty vegetarian breakfast for half the price -on the last morning i sent a message asking for replenishment of tea and sugar, one hour later i get a response but it was too late as we were leaving to check out- again no apology - The room was not serviced on our first day!??! - when we returned from our scheduled day trip the bed had not been made, the room and not been swept, hoovered or services wiped down. For the cost of the room I found this V disrespectful. - no dairy free milk available in the fridge?! - suggest that you provide some in a little jug with cling film on top.. assuming people like black tea and coffee is bad hosting. -Room cleanliness- Black mould around bedroom window...! and evidence of black mould in the bathroom on the ceiling above the shower. Pretty disgusting that this had not been treated and cleaned considering the money charged for the room. - shower was looked luxurious but the temperature fluctuated whilst in use - crack in ceiling over bed which could easily be patched up and repainted over.., - dressing gown had NOT been cleaned and looked like someone previous had wiped their snot/bogeys on it - coffee machine didn't work, just gave out hot water when the pod was installed attention to detail is lacking- they care about animals, and making money.

It was warm, quiet and very clean. Thanks guys.

The parking instruction was given us but when we wanted to park, there were notices saying that you shouldn’t park here. It was a bit confusing. We could have used some plates and cutlery in the room. But not a big deal.

The breakfast was delicious, we ordered sausage sandwiches to the room and they were cooked perfectly, with really nice bread. The smoothies and juice were great too, super friendly staff brought it up to our room and asked us exactly what time suited us best. Couldn't ask for any more.

Honestly, I can't fault our stay.

The rooms were nicely decorated and the beds were super comfortable. There was Netflix signed in for us to use in the nights. The check in & out process was easy and our rooms were cleaned whilst we were out during the day. Also the owners were really kind and courteous via text.

The parking was really difficult to navigate and on the first night there was nowhere to park so we had to park by the planters opposite the property behind a large white van so we were jutting out onto the alleyway. We could only see two spaces so if there are three as advertised it would be helpful if there were markings made on the floor to indicate & locate them. During the night there was something banging against our window which appeared to be some kind of Christmas light but my partner stopped that from happening by opening the window during the night but that made it a bit cold in there. The bathroom was very compact and there’s not much space to move around in there and get changed etc especially between the sink and the door. These aren’t complaints, merely suggestions for improvement, we really did enjoy our stay overall. :)
