Amazing despite the rain!
Reviewed on 09/11/2023
We stayed as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 kids, 3 and 5) and had a fab time. The tent was well equipped and we managed to keep it warm and cosy despite the cold and rain! Although I would recommend taking hot water bottles in the colder weather like we did. The beds were so comfy which was a huge bonus. The hot tub was of huge enjoyment to the kids and they loved it! The site itself was lovely and the kids loved exploring with the stream, the animals around and we saw lots of kites. The kitchen was well equipped and ate in the tent for all meals. Overall we had a fab stay despite the rain, although there is something lovely about listening to the rain on the tent roof when you are warm and cosy in bed!
