Finding the location was so easy, when we got there we were welcomed by the owners who were so so lovely, kind and thoughtful. So clean and organised, for example the fire pits there was a little shed where all the wood was and everything, they made you feel so welcomed too. And when we were about to leave one of the owner had a lovely chat with us and wished us a safe journey home. Couldn’t recommend it enough. Definitely coming back soon.

I never write reviews but I just had to write something about our weekend at Damson View. Howard and Carole are amazing, they made us feel very welcome. For me, it was like a piece of heaven. Even the beautiful stars were out at night. The chickens and the cows - wow, for me that was something else. The pod is perfect, you guys thought of everything. The weekend was spot on, even the weather was on our side. We had a fabulous time, thank you so much. We will definitely be back x
