A note from the site themselves...

At the heart of everything we do is family. We have designed every aspect of our site with children and comfort in mind. Our site aims to allow guests to unwind whilst little ones can run free safely, swing in the hammocks, get back to nature and create mud pies or make new friends by the bandstand.

Being the providers of backstage hospitality to Glastonbury and many other popular festivals, we have a lot of experience hosting stressed out artists and those with busy schedules. Through this, we have very much learnt how and what people need to be able to fully chill out and have a relaxing experience.

Myself and the team hope to welcome you soon, Paul

A lovely environment to stay that has a family friendly feeling, the staff, particularly Carl and Becks were super friendly with our granddaughter. Thanks both for making our granddaughter love her first experience of glamping that she can’t wait to return!

Yurt - Mongolian YurtsJul 2023

Kids loved it, back to nature and very well thought out. We arrived very late at night, but couldn't be any more obliging.

Site's response

Thank you so much for your review, Dan! We are sorry you didn't get the chance to enjoy much of the site in the evening, we hope you and the children can return another time!

Such a magical place

Yurt - Mongolian YurtsJun 2023

This is such a magical place. It's my second visit and I can't wait to go back. The staff: Norman, Coby, Becks and Joanna are a total asset - the nicest, most down to earth people. Nothing is too much trouble. The facilities and cleanliness are fab. The hot tub is so lovely and hot and was great value. My dogs were so happy and loved Norman! It rained for England yesterday all day and it didn't spoil our experience in any way. The beds are so comfy and the bedding was hotel quality.

Site's response

Thank you Leanna, it was great to have you back again and so glad to hear you had a wonderful time even with the horrendous weather! I will pass on your thanks to the rest of the team, we are very lucky to have them! We look forward to welcoming you back another time! We'll add a free hot tub session to your next stay as you enjoyed it so much!
