Everything excellent

Everything about this site was excellent. From the well appointed and clean pods to the extremely helpful staff. The new sauna is amazing with a full window wall outlooking a private veranda and lovely views. Very quiet and peaceful environment with lots of interesting walks in the area and also short drives to lovely market an historic towns like Richmond

The perfect break away!

The staff were really welcoming and lovely! The pod was very clean and had such a cosy vibe. The hot tub was already up and running for us when we arrived. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

What a lovely review, thanks so much Ella - really good to hear how much you enjoyed your stay with us! See you again soon, Anthony and the team.

Great place to unwind

What an amazing location to unwind and chill out. There are two separate sites both with 6 pods, and each with a large grassed area should you want to play games [rounders/frisbee etc]. The surrounding woodland makes you feel secluded, and protected from the elements (except rain!). There is also a separate 2 acre paddock behind the reception block which you can make use of…. ideal for dogs. The owner Anthony also mentioned that they are just about to open a new sauna with private viewing deck as well. The pods are fantastic, well equipped with everything you need and they are very clean and tidy. We had breakfast and evening meals outside at the table and made full use of the fire-pit and hot-tub each evening. Sitting with a drink in the hot-tub in the evening looking at the clear skies was very relaxing. We also drove into Richmond a couple of times, which is only 5 or so miles, and is a thriving and lovely little town which has everything you could possibly need. I have to give a special mention to the staff, especially Kelly, who works tirelessly to ensure your stay is a comfortable and pleasant experience. They are on the go all day everyday but always at hand should you need anything and are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. If you want to get away, unwind and reset, this is the place to go. So peaceful and definitely somewhere my wife and I will return to. Do not be concerned about some of the (unjustified) negative reviews on here, this is a great little spot to get away. Great facilities and space and very attentive staff, should you require their assistance.

Sometimes you read a review that makes you smile for a week... and this is one of those reviews. Words cannot thank you and your family enough David for staying with us, and for this fabulous review. It's a credit to our whole team, and it's lovely to see their efforts are noticed and appreciated - we really are on the go all day! I've passed on your kind words and we all look forward to seeing you again soon. Anthony and the team.

Thanks so much for your fab review Samantha, it was lovely to meet you and so nice to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. See you again in the future, Anthony

Excellent

Couldn't have asked or wished for more from our stay. Pod and location were beautiful. It was clean and had everything we needed. The best thing about the stay was the people who worked there, Anthony and Kelly, who couldn't have been more friendly and helpful and really made the stay the trip what it was. My partner and I really struggled to keep the fire in the firepit and hot tub going and they were absolutely brilliant in helping us, setting it up and showing us how to keep it going. Even when we went out for the day, they would set it up and heat the hot tub because they knew we struggled and didn't want us to miss out, even saying we could call Ant at any time if we needed any help, even out of hours.

Thank you Joe for your superb review - we're all really happy to hear how much you both enjoyed it and that you finally overcame the fire issues! We're always here to help and we hope to see you both again in the near future. Anthony.

Amazing glamping experience

We spent two nights in 'The Quarrier' glamping pod and it exceeded all of my expectations. The pod itself was huge, immaculate and equipped with almost everything we could need. Upon arrival, the team were friendly and checked us in very quickly - the rules of the hot tub were clearly explained. We didn't see any member of staff for the remainder of our trip. The hot tub was pre-lit and the grounds of the Quarry were beautiful. We loved the peaceful location, although I would definitely recommend bringing your own food etc as there isn't a shop on site or within a short walking distance. We drove to Lidl, which was the closest supermarket, and about a 15 minute drive. The pod was not cold at night thanks to the radiators and the shower/taps were warm when needed. Overall, we loved our stay at Forcett Grange and we would recommend this site to anyone looking for a relaxing break in a tranquil environment.

Site's response

Thank you for your great review Ellie, it's good to hear you enjoyed your stay with us so much - The Quarry really is such a beautiful setting. We have a superb local shop and tea room that we like to support and so don't currently offer an on-site shop other than for logs, I hope you got a chance to visit them. See you again soon, Anthony

Wigwam stay

You do have to pay for the hot tub wood on top of the nightly fee and have to buy the wood from the campsite at a premium, so be sure to consider taking some extra cash for your stay to cover this.

Site's response

Thanks for your comments Daniel, I’m sorry to hear your stay with us was not the usual high standard we offer. We do advise all our guests of our log prices via email before arriving and believe these are fair priced for their quality. We also provide the hot tub pre-heated, plus a net of logs is included as standard. I’m sorry to see we scored so low in all areas and would have liked to discuss this with you had this been raised during your stay.

Campsite

Friendly, clean, excellent location.

Thanks for your review Deborah, so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. Anthony

Great, relaxing, secluded stay

A wonderful relaxing stay in a quiet secluded spot as a getaway from a busy life. The pod was spotless, well equipped and warm and cosy. The fire pit was great to warm up next to, watching the sun go down. The hot tub was warmed and ready for an extra relaxing treat. Staff were friendly, professional and very welcoming and helpful. A great find for a short break.

Thanks for your great review Vincent, we're really happy to read you enjoyed your time with us - we can't agree more about how good the hot tubs are! Thanks again, Anthony

Relaxing

Absolutely spot on!! Very quiet and clean, just what we needed! Will be back again!

Site's response

Thank you for your review Lee, we'll see you again soon! Anthony

Perfect!

Simply perfect. Arriving to find the hot tub ready to slip into. The setting of the glamping pod in a quarry reveals such beauty at night - fire light bouncing from the quarry walls! The whole thing is just so well thought out, I've noticed that disabled access is included in the set-up of the site and will be letting several wheelchair users know - good places are hard to find and should be championed. Will be coming back here.

Site's response

What a superb review, thank you Frazer. It was a delight to have you stay with us and we're glad to read you thought it was so wonderful. We'll see you again soon! Anthony

Lovely place to stay

Fantastic pod. On arrival, the site was not what was expected, but the landscaping of the pod area was lovely. I would recommend taking a BBQ brush to clean the BBQ before use, and a dust pan and brush to clean out the ashes between uses.

Site's response

Thanks for leaving us a review Judith - curious to know what was expected as you've not elaborated. Just a note to all other guests to may be reading this, we clean and oil all our BBQ grills before each guest and there is a dustpan and brush provided in the kitchen, although leaving the ashes in place is fine as we would never expect guests to do this on their holiday.

Enjoyable experience

Had a really enjoyable stay, the pod itself was very clean upon arrival, the staff were very friendly and helpful in demonstrating the hot tub which was already stoked up when we got there 👌We did have a problem with the gate not opening for us on the way out in the truck on the first evening, had to squeeze past the gate and wave the fob to which it then opened. Only other issue we had was the hob in the kitchen was a bit temperamental but they did call me up asking about it, I explained and they said they were going to replace it. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would recommend 👌

Site's response

Thanks for your review Mathew, it's good to read - despite a few hiccups - that you enjoyed your stay with us! We've now replaced the hob, thanks for the feedback. Anthony

Thanks for your review Michelle, good to hear you enjoyed yourselves. Anthony

Amazing getaway!

We had an amazing time staying here! The pod was absolutely spotless with incredible access to facilities that we never expected to have when we first booked! The staff was helpful and friendly, couldn’t ask for better. Thank you for an amazing couple of nights! Will definitely be recommending to others and booking again in the future!

Thank you for your review Lewis, some great comments which I have passed onto the team - and we hope to welcome you back soon! Anthony

First pod experience

Nice first experience in a pod, really liked the wood fired hot tub - although it could do with a screen in front of it for a bit more privacy.

Site's response

Thank you for your review, good to hear your experience was enjoyable. We do try to make all of our screening natural using trees, bushes etc.. and no hot tub can be seen from any other hot tub creating a private environment. Thanks again, Anthony
