A aimé : The yurt was beautiful, and the whole site was lovely. Our spot was extremely private, the firepit and kitchen facilities outside were lovely. Charlie made us feel so welcome before we'd even arrived and all communication was extremely helpful and friendly - to be honest, as a host he probably makes the holiday. It was such a nice treat to have our own water supply and cool box/packs provided, spare gas etc if needed. There was really nothing we needed to ask for but we got the feeling that nothing would have been too much trouble. Can't recommend highly enough for a peaceful getaway with a little bit of luxury.

N'a pas aimé: Not at all a dislike - but as we were glamping (for the first time) and usually camp in our own tent and never get electric hook up, it would have been nice just for a change to have a plug in the yurt - but understand the want to be off-grid still.

A aimé : The yurts are so much better than the bell tents that are the usual glamping offering. They are so much more spacious, stay cool (or warm) because they are insulated and keep most of the insects out. They are also constructed on decking which keeps them a lot cleaner inside especially in wet weather (it was wet during our stay but we were still nice and dry all the time). The estate is a great place with the yurts a good distance apart offering lots of privacy. The children loved exploring and with no roads nearby it os safe for them to do so. Great clean warm toilet/bathroom facilities as well - we had a dedicated bathroom for our Yurt so didnt have to share! Host was very welcoming and went the extra mile for his guests. highly recommended.

A aimé : Ok. So, the Real Glamping lives up to its name. I have been on many camping trips, but this one will hold special memories. Our 8-year-old boys and our 14-year-old niece loved every minute. Amazing views, Quality yurts, comfortable beds, we got our private bathroom in the main house. It is a perfect location with a 15-minute drive from the beaches. We had amazing nights on our private section of the grounds with a massive log firepit, which was Ideal for barbeques and Marshmallows. It also kept us warm whilst we gazed up at the stars. However, this site's heart and soul is a guy we can now call a friend. Charlie. Charlie took care of us before we started our journey to Cornwall and greeted us with open arms. He provided us with many options from his wealth of knowledge of Cornwall and ensured we were very comfortable and safe. I highly recommend.

N'a pas aimé: I wish we had stayed longer.

A aimé : Yurt is nice, the setting is great and friendly atmosphere. Outside area is excellent when dry and nothing better than a fire pit

N'a pas aimé: Although there is electricity it’s in the main house so no charging at the yurt. Power is eco friendly no dryers for those with long hair

A aimé : Charlie was the most lovely host! Everything is there for you and they can not do enough to help you / accommodate for you. I couldn't reccomend enough! We stayed in a lovely Yhurt, had a wonderful fire pit to cook on and a camping stove. Toilet and shower facilities are really nice and clean. Everything is kept to a high standard.

A aimé : We’ve literally had the best 4 nights at fir hill , we’ve had a holiday like I used to have as a child , put the phones and tablets away . We’ve played hide and seek in the orchards , cooked jacket potatoes in the fire pit . Can’t recommend it enough , Charlie is the friendliest host and works so hard to make your holiday perfect, If your thinking of taking your 4 legged friend then do it you won’t find a more dog friendly site

N'a pas aimé: That I couldn’t bring the mattress home

A aimé : Dreamy few days rest after walking the SWCP. Couldn't believe my luck when I got to spend some time on this beautiful open site with fabulous swimming in nearby freshwater reservoir. Very spacious hand-painted yurts with linen sheets and comfortable beds. A bespoke outside kitchen, including cooler with fresh ice and new logs for the fire pit everyday. The yurts are all in their own private gardens. Very efficient shower block. Plenty of seating areas for guests. Charlie -- very good artist -- all his paintings are everywhere -- very chatty and friendly. Will be back, for sure.

N'a pas aimé: nothing

A aimé : The yurts are excellent and the host is very friendly and accommodating. There is no need to take any cooking equipment or plates and cutlery as all is provided. The site is well maintained and the shower block is quite presentable. A dog friendly site which is exactly what we were looking for so that none of the family were left behind. All in all an excellent week in the country just outside Newquay.

N'a pas aimé: The only minor concerns were the proximity of the airport as the noise from the helicopters disturbed the otherwise peaceful and tranquil setting. And the cost was quite high at £200 per night for a 3 bed yurt.

Réponse du gestionnaire : Adam I am delighted that you enjoyed your stay and thank you for joining us. Ref the price ….I believe you stayed in a 3 person “couples plus yurt” and you paid £140 per night not £200 ! If I am right I think you have done us an injustice ! If so, any chance of changing your review ? Kind regards Charlie
