"We loved the seclusion, the novelty of the glamping in a teepee was a weekend away from our normal home life"

8.0

Peaceful, even though it was with farm animals nearby, it was still terrific. Was rustic charm and the novelty of a teepee stay was indeed glamping as the bed was home away from home. Our own bathroom was very clean and nearby.

Can’t say we disliked anything apart from maybe a wee bit pricey but not to say we didn’t enjoy our stay as we did

"Unique stay for family"

9.0

We stayed in the Tipi for 1 night which was a unique and fun experience as a family. The facilities were comfortable - great outdoor kitchen and bathroom. Shower was surprisingly good. The farmyard feeding was fantastic - we really enjoyed ourselves

The property was great. The weather not so much - but you can’t control the weather!

"Not great value but a different kind of experience"

5.0

We stayed in the yurt which was spacious for two. I can’t imagine 4 or 5 staying in there.The staff member looking after the place was lovely and very helpful.Nice setting . If you walked across the car park it was a great view of the mountain.

If other people had been there it would have been too crowded and we would have hated it .The bus and train carriage were right next to us. The noise of trucks woke me up. it was not good value . Very expensive for what it was. Lots of cobwebs and not clean. I have stayed in over 30 places this year and this was possibly the worst value wise. We decided to pay a bit more for the experience but after discussing it decided it was not worth it.
