Wensleydale 3 bedroom safari tent (pet friendly)
Liked: Fantastic safari tent, clean and cosy. Shower was amazing, beds were comfortable and bed linen was weather appropriate. We loved the stove, having it on really kept the tent warm. Fantastic weekend that we will remember despite the weather. Thank you
Disliked: Website said there was an oven, I checked before we left and there wasn’t so we packed the bbq pizza oven which we were able to use on the gas stovetop which was an instant solve to our problem.

Wensleydale 3 bedroom safari tent (pet friendly)
Liked: Fabulous accommodation with some really quirky touches. There was even a little play space for children and a selection of treats and towels for the dogs. The host was so lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming. The weather wasn’t great but we still had a brilliant time because the area is so beautiful with plenty to do and the safari tent was so cosy.

Wensleydale 3 bedroom safari tent (pet friendly)
Liked: Loved our stay in the Wensleydale safari tent! We’re avid campers but this is our first time ‘Glamping’…what a rare treat not to have to set up and take down. Really cosy and comfy, open fire, big comfy beds for all, plenty of seating, clean and tastefully decorated! Lovely quiet site (only the three safari tents booked, camping field closed at the moment) Close to lots of local attractions. We visited fountains abbey and brimham rocks.
Disliked: Only a gas hob in the kitchen, really missed an oven/grill. Could do with a little step stool in the bathroom for the kids to reach the basin. That’s it!!
