Kushti Tan gypsy caravan
Liked: Excellent quality caravans / vardos Inviting and friendly staff Relaxed atmosphere Good location We travelled as a Romani couple looking to connect to our roots. While we stayed there, there was also two other families there, one also Romani and the other non-Romani. Everyone got on well and it was all very welcoming. The site is great whether you want to use it as a base to travel around the area or sit by the fire / bovvy all day. The site itself is beautiful as well. A good way to either learn about or reconnect with Romani culture. All the staff are very accommodating and atr able to tell you about the local area if you want to travel.

Non-electric grass tent pitch
Liked: Kushti Vardos is by far the loveliest place I've ever stayed! It is so special, the quiet surroundings, the fields and woods, with deer coming out in the twilight or at dawn, the horses grazing peacefully just behind the fences until they've had enough and wander off. And above all: those incredibly beautiful wagons!! Owners Clarence and Sarah are so friendly and helpful, it was a great joy meeting them. Just keep in mind the facilities (2 toilets, 2 showers) are quite basic, don't expect luxurious modcons, apart from good hot water, excellent Wifi, and LED-lights and USB phone charging sockets in every wagon! We missed out on the open fire cooking, but we're definitely planning to do so next time.

From the manager: Thank you for your kind words. We'll look forward to seeing you again one day. KV
