Tawny cabin (hot tub)
Liked: Unbelievable find, excellent location accommodation and host. The host went put of his way to meet us when we arrived and took all of our luggage down to the site to save us the walk. Very friendly and encouraged the kids to have fun and explore. The site is perfect for that getaway and enabled us to just relax. All the small details that have gone into this site make it a very special place.
Disliked: Nothing

Short-Eared bell tent
Liked: Chris was a fantastic host, very welcoming and took all our bags down to the bell tent, it was fabulous, well stocked, clean and such a beautiful place. Lovely to have time off grid without TV or phones. Games room was full of stuff to do. Recommend building dens with the kids, we had great fun in the dark hunting for random sticks. The fire pit was a lovely ending to our night with wood and fire lighters already there. Listening to the owls and running stream, even the rain didn't spoil it. The compostable toilet and hot shower were clean and tidy. Beds comfortable, everything you could possibly need in the kitchen. We had a brilliant stay, wish it could have been longer. Thank you for a lovely night's stay.

Long-eared geodesic dome
Liked: Fantastic place, so lovely and peaceful and you really get a chance to switch off and relax as there is absolutely no phone signal or mains electricity. Chris was fantastic on both arrival and departure helping us with our bags and cleaning the hot tub and refilling / warming it up in the mornings so it was lovely and toasty by the late afternoon / evening. My only tip would be to plan out any excursions before you arrive, or take an old school map as you can’t google anything until about a mile down the road! We were sad to leave after such a wonderfully relaxing and refreshing stay, thank you so much to Chris and co for looking after us so wonderfully!

Tawny cabin (hot tub)
Liked: The photos of the Tawny Owl cabin does not give it justice; the accommodation is a beautiful, idyllic, off the grid location to be at one with nature. Chris (the host) was an extremely friendly, helpful, and passionate individual of everything green & sustainable, evident in all aspects of the cabin. The games room was a wonderful unexpected addition, see it to believe it :). The hot tub was perfectly awesome; especially at day break hearing the forest come to life. If you want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, this is the perfect escape for you. My partner and I had a fabulous four day break, thank you.

Liked: Chris should be awarded as the best host in camping category and so as his entire family.
It was the pleasure to be there, to experience peace and nature outside of busy life.
There is everything a family need.
The stargazing from the hot tub was amazing, just magical while still listening owls and the fast paced stream. Thanks for making this site, truly needed.
